    Downvote as your country is dismantled by people who think their own political positions are more important than the will of the people, and who will break whatever laws they want to advance them. Cheer the people who do it. Cling to your failed state.

    America today is the direct descendant of the America which cheered the attempted assassination of a president whose policies they disagreed with. And all of you here who cheer the resolution of political differences with violence are cheering living in a failed state.

    Do you support James Earl Ray’s choice to resolve his political differences with violence?

    Your country has become a joke, and you’re all supporting that.

      Remind me what power MLK had that could make tens of millions of peoples’ lives worse just because he was a selfish asshole

        And here is the expected non-sequitar. Your country is a joke and you just try to deflect.

        Go make a difference, stop rubbing yourself against Lemmy posts to get off.

        Do you or do you not support people who resolve disagreements by assassinating people? Or is it just the people who you deem worthy of death that should be assassinated?

        Maybe we could democratise this, maybe vote on who should be assassinated to keep it fair, so it’s not just one guy on Lemmy deciding?

        Maybe we don’t need to assassinate people at all.

          >makes bad analogy

          >analogy gets challenged

          “that doesn’t follow”

          classic.

          Just in case you were curious why everyone is down voting you, failed leaders have been held mortally responsible throughout human history. Democracy has reduced the amount that we need to behead our leaders so I would call that success, not failure. But when a mf needs to get beheaded it is only the ‘failed state’ that refuses to behead. Oh, and if you can only understand this in terms of bad analogies then instead of MLK you should substitute in Hitler and ask if you would support violence as a resolution to your “political differences” again.

          I don’t believe in killing anyone, anytime

          I just thought your comparison was terrible and the only thing they had in common was they’ve given political speeches. One had all the power in the world and one was a guy at the bottom begging for change

          Aside from that, cry more, bud
