Un-sanitize my father. It’s hypocritical to “celebrate” #MLK, but be against justice and true peace; and to demonize those who share truth about injustice. This, too, is MLK: “True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.”
How can you love #MLK and love separating immigrant children from their families?
How can you love #MLK and not feel pain when a 10-year Black boy is handcuffed by police for fitting a description?
Read #MLK beyond ‘I Have A Dream,’ even though few explore the deeper parts of that speech.

Thread: #FalseGodofNationalism

“Our age is one in which men have turned away from the eternal God of the universe, and decided to worship at the shrine of the god of nationalism.”

#MLK (1953) #HappyNewYear⁠ ⁠
“We are all familiar with the creed of this new religion. It affirms that each nation is an absolute sovereign unit acknowledging no control save its own independent will. The watchword of this new religion: “My country right or wrong.”” #MLK #FalseGodofNationalism #HappyNewYear
“This new religion has its familiar prophets and preachers. In Germany it was preached by Hitler. In Italy it was preached by Mussilini. And in America it is being preached by the McCarthys and the Jenners, the advocators of white supremacy, and the America first movements.”

Hate grows when a hateful thought is received and reiterated, instead of rejected. The received thought captures the heart and aligns itself with other corrupt thoughts to become an ideology. And hateful ideologies, like white nationalism, must be challenged and deconstructed.
But while we are challenging and deconstructing, we must also be truthful about national and global history. The first Europeans to arrive on this land brought with them a desire to be in power and to conquer, with a willingness to destroy indigenous people in the process.
The ‘idea’ of America was founded with a spirit of superiority, a quest for power, and a sense of entitlement. That spirit, quest and sense also led ‘America’ to trade Africans and usher in hundreds of years of violent, ritualistic slavery on this soil. The blood still cries out.

If our ultimate goal is to create a more peaceful, just, humane world (beyond only considering what we believe directly affects us), we’ll have to stop talking at each other and start talking with each other.
We’ll have to educate each other on issues, even when it seems unfair and tedious.
We’ll have to rigorously attack injustice, not being provoked to chaos by workers of injustice.

Watch the difference between how Democrats and MSM treat Christine Ford's story and Juanita Broaddrick's, or Ellison's spouse's. They couldn't care less about accusers. The only thing that matters is who is accused. Their only mission is in whom to protect and whom to destroy.
*Keith Ellison's former lover's
If you have any doubt about what I said, just listen to the argument Christine Ford's lawyer, Debra Katz, made when she was on team Bill Clinton trying to defend him against Paula Jones's accusation of sexual assault.

Live-tweet en direct de ma lecture de l’#Anarchie de #Malatesta
Accrochez-vous, ça a l’air intense... c’est parti !
⬇️
L’#Anarchie signifie « Absence de #gouvernement » mais est souvent confondue avec « désordre » ou « la loi du plus fort » à cause d’un préjugé :
que le gouvernement serait nécessaire à la vie sociale
#Esclaves depuis leur naissance, les humains ont cru que l’esclavage est la caractéristique de la vie.⛓
Ainsi, le #travailleur à finit par croire que c’est le #patron qui lui permet de manger. Il a finit par croire que sans patron, il ne pourrait pas survivre 💀

Q is saying there won't be arrests until the justice system is cleaned out. That has to include state judges. Do you have any idea how long that will take? We are now looking at next year for the rest of Potus judges to be confirmed.

After 70 years of imperial/neoliberal indoctrination the web of lies is so obviously absurde (9/11, Skripal, WH = ISIS, etc.), that it is dissoluting. The empathetic humanity connects, closes ranks and sends their eternal psychopathic rulers and their lackeys into nowhere land.
The "evil empire" is a lifelong three year old child. I certainly loved my children at that age too, however only because they created not only a surreal mess, but also made steady progress.

A great documentary about psychopathy and society:
The elite invented "democracy" to protect them from the empathetic people. The media are their means for misleading the people sedated by "democracy". This is definitely a bad thing since the people have become educated and the elite almost totally insane.
