"a riot is the language of the unheard"
-- #MartinLutherKingJr

Remove free speech and peaceful means to effect change in government and you invite violence, since it is the only effective means left.

I am not a blind pacifist. I condemn violence when other means are available.

But if the status quo is unjust, and there are no other means to change things, violence becomes justified.

This is why you should NEVER suppress free speech or suppress protests.

In 1968, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and many others called for a “revolution of values” in America. They sought to build a broad, fusion movement that could unite poor and impacted communities across the country. Their name was a direct cry from the underside of history: The Poor People’s Campaign. Today, the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival has picked up this unfinished work. Join us!

"The trouble isn't so much that we don't know enough, but it's as if we aren't good enough. The trouble isn't so much that our scientific genius lags behind, but our moral genius lags behind." - #MLKJr #MartinLutherKingJr

The problem is the Apple iPhone owners, the Bluesky social media people, the voters. Democracy doesn't work when people are bad.
