Depending on the location, I’m pretty sure the norm is meat every day. In the Midwest, it’s not just meat every day. It’s meat every meal.

I’ve had a good enough experience with lynx that I gave it it’s own alias. Now anytime I want to search i just “ddg anything” and usually I can find the result in want without leaving the terminal.

I’m sure there are other great uses but that’s all I use it for and I love it.

I also love hyperbole. I hope you don’t really think im saying you are simple minded or anything. I just wanted to have a conversation online, but forgot how difficult it was. Just speaking of my general experiences, im not saying all dems or all white people or anything.

In my mind, I don’t care about MLK or Malcolm X. I mean they are both fine, whatever… I don’t not care about them either. Its more about their ideas. In my mind, figuring out why the civil rights bill passed when it did is a very important question with implications about the proper means of political activism in modern day America. As in what was the immediate precursor, what was the “tipping point.”

The narrative I was told growing up and in school simply didnt align with the series of events Malcolm described. I assumed other people might find that interesting too, but instead I think I remembered why I don’t engage online.

You are the only one who gave a reasonable reply that showed you actually somewhat read it. But I guess I don’t really know how to succinctly say and get to that point so I pissed you off too. So my bad. Ill stop before I make it worse and go back to my corner before I was screenshotted and shared in this community.

Wow that’s a creative take on my thoughts. I just hadn’t got to talk to anyone normal about this and didn’t realize it work be taken that way. So my apologies I guess. Didn’t mean to tar your hero or anything. I guess thats definitely one logical way to read that though. I can’t fault you for reaching that conclusion.

Thanks engaging with me, genuinely.

I actually studied this era and movement at the masters level and wrote papers related to the topic. Lol.

Im not shitting on MLK as much as I am quoting Malcolm X. Everyone (not you, just generally speaking) always acts like black people are a monolith and always agree about who is a good guy or that to be black and disagree with the DNC or MLK makes you an republican or an uncle tom and thats it. There are actually critiques of MLK and DNC from the far left too.

I feel like it was interesting that this perspective was completely lost to history. If it means people think im an idiot but learn more about what actually happened thats fine me.

Thank you for engaging with the substance of the argument! Personally I think you probably need both. If there is no unhinged element it doesn’t make the nonviolent one seem that threatening, but honestly I go back and forth.

I did find it fascinating that contemporaries of MLK has such disparaging views of him.

I also think Malcolm was probably killed by the government or at least the government used the Nation of Islam against him, but i freely admit that is somewhat conspiratorial and we won’t know, at least until all the files are released.

For crying out loud. Read or listen to the speech. It is such a simple argument I assumed someone who is into history would understand it by now.

His argument is there is no such thing as a nonviolent revolution. He directly links the violent protests in several towns to the passage of the civil rights bill. I have no idea where you are getting overthrowing congress.

So if you disagree with that can you tell me why the civil rights act was passed when it was passed. There is no gotcha or anything here. Im genuinely curious your reasoning.

If you read it you would know thats not the kind of action Malcolm was advocating.

revolution is bloody

Did you even read what Malcolm X said?

He lays out a clear record of why the civil rights bill was actually passed. I can look up the newspaper headlines showing MLK and other civil rights leaders were busy arguing and fundraising when grassroots leaders were inciting people and it was at that time when Kennedy announced the bill. I That is the exact kind of action MLK would have never endorsed and that is why he was the enemy according to Malcolm. That is the substance of his argument.

Do you care to engage with it or not?

So you think Kennedy just magically out of the goodness of his heart passed the civil rights bill. Why did that happen your account. Malcolm lays out a clear logical reason. You have yet to engage with the substance of his argument.

So what about how first hand account where he mentions having the corresponding newspaper clippings is without merit?

I was just quoting Malcolm X letter to the grassroots where he said MLK was working to keep people “on the plantation”. Please read the link comment in my edit on the original.

Lol. So what about Malcolm wasnt pure

ideal

enough when he was in nation of Islam? The fact he embraced an eye for an eye means his criticism of MLK was invalid? That is your argument, correct? Just making sure i understand.

Comparing before and after like that sounds a lot like a purity test from the man who started a whole thread rage bating people into arguing about purity tests. Or am I missing something?

If you have a problem with this, I think you’ll hate Malcolm X. Really, i was just trying to have a conversation and found out OP was screenshotting and sharing here. So if anyone would like to engage with the actual content of Malcolm X’s letter to the grassroots please continue the thread. Im open to rational conversation.

Ahhh good point. Malicious actors always limit themselves to only attacking one device per person.

Police: You are wasting electricity just to get high! Me: How many times do I have to explain it is high availability

I mean, I’m pretty sure this is extremely widespread in China, so I’d say it’s more cultural than anything else. In fact, since there are so many Chinese, that probably means more people call it A.P.P. than app. But I honestly have no clue, and it doesn’t matter to me either way. Words change. It’s nothing to get bent out of shape about.
