The hate is already there. You can’t speak to those who don’t want to listen. Sometimes civility is just an open invitation to enable our own oppression, because people who hate aren’t interested in having a dialogue, and are in fact counting on us valuing being ‘reasonable’ over being practical.
Also. Civil rights were not won by everybody coming together peacefully and just talking it out. They were won by riots and protests and people standing up and going “THIS SHIT ISNT OK” and making the lives of those who already have those rights more difficult. It has never been by “uwu please treat us like actual human being” and calmly and gently trying to parley with literal supremacists and genociders
That too but I didn’t wanna go full tilt on ‘em tbh.
never forget that MLK was labled a terrorist and racists regularly claimed he was protesting wrong so in general when people say youre protesting wrong, what they really mean is that they would rather you just submit to oppression.
