    Haha; You’re right that my post, on its own, is indeed American-centric. I’ll consider that, thank you!

    Violent Politics are a tool of Fascists, I feel that doesn’t need elaboration; I’m more exasperated that it keeps working throughout history, even as we have the entire world in our pocket.

      Violent Politics are a tool of Fascists,

      It’s also the tool of progress. American 60’s Era Civil rights Movement wasn’t cause solely by the speeches of MLK, but the real threat that the protests would turn into large scale violence and the government deciding that it would be cheaper to give more equal rights to Black People. A fact that gets whitewashed by the school system.
