  • I mean…

    Honestly the whole “assassinating a leader is against the rules” has always felt ass backwards when the alternative is a shit ton of people with essentially no say in the conflict dying.

    Let me take it back to Hammarubi.

    All these shitty world leaders can just take turns killing themselves like the bloody Sneeches, until we eventually end up with leaders who think peace is worth a shot.

    To me, that sounds like a self correcting and sustainable system. If a country’s government starts a war, the most likely result would be that political leader getting merc’d by the government of the country they attacked.


















  • It’s important to note that MLK and Malcolm X were friendly and saw themselves as allies.

    There’s a big push of revisionist history where they want to portray it as them disagreeing about methods and arguing with each other over the best path forward. Because that’s what the wealthy want us to do, because it doesn’t work.

    If you give a privileged population the choice between:

    1. Status quo

    2. Things getting better for someone else, but stays the same for you.

    It’s really hard to get the majority of priveleged people to pick #2

    But when you add in:

    1. Shit gets much worse for you and much better for the people you persecuted

    Suddenly #2 becomes a popular choice. It’s often the only way to get the majority to agree to equality



  • Ask the folks at MOVE how well fighting back worked for them

    Are you giving the class an example of what happens when we dont stand together?

    Because we all already know how cops act when they have the guns and numbers.

    We know when they have the guns but not the numbers they escalate and use violence.

    But when they dont have the numbers and protestors visibly are carrying rifles, suddenly the cops aren’t escalating to violence anymore.

    If you aren’t familiar with a “visual deterrent” then frankly you’re not in a position to be advising people.
