Bullshit.

Martin Luther King isn't evidence that peaceful protesting works. He's evidence that even if you're peaceful, they'll still kill you.

The change wasn't in response to people listening to Martin Luther King. The change was in response to the riots that happened after he was murdered.

If you're able to command that protesters be peaceful, then you're able to command that the ruling class be peaceful. And if the ruling class were peaceful, the protests wouldn't exist.

daisuke, wealwell, maxwell are like that wolf, chicken, grain problem where if you leave daisuke alone with wealwell he'll kill him, and if you leave wealwell alone with maxwell he'll kill him and you have to get them from one side of gath to the other but you can only fit two of them in your lifeboat at a time.

I was thinking about how I have grown to value mandatory voting over a system that allows allegedly more freedom. Because in country, mandatory voting means I just have to send in a ballot. It can be empty or filled with the write in ballot "pickle farts" if I want.

If I go to the voting station all I have to do is get my name checked off. I don't have to vote if I don't want to.

But it means it is much more difficult for the government to try and suppress voters. Because voters have a legal obligation to go to the polls, so you can't restrict them or try tactics to dissuade them.

Voting polls are open long hours with access to food and water being a fairly standard staple. You don't need any form of ID, you have to be given time to go vote in work hours without penalty if you cannot do it after work hours.

Every now and then a politician tries some small way of voter suppression but it isn't as easy. And so I have learned to appreciate it.

But when I googled, out of curiosity, if the USA had ever had anything like that I was met with a barrage of websites talking about freedom and justice and the absolute liberty of Americans. I thought an eagle was going to bust out of the screen.

Going through some of these I noticed they were think tanks connected to billionaires, one of them was funded and created by the Koch brothers.

Gotta love how often the American "freedom" is actually used as a way to further deny actual freedoms, both linguistically and politically.

I think I get a little sad when people try to make Adaine and Aelwyn's relationship the same as most older and younger sister with abusive parents in media. Because it isn't. We don't have the typical "oldest daughter who tried to shield the youngest from abuse". To properly understand them we have to understand that Aelwyn was not only a golden child, but participated in Adaine's abuse. She mocked her the same as their parents, which is why when she tried to be sincere for a moment on the first day, Adaine didn't believe or trust her. She tried to kill Adaine in Freshman Year. She set the backup in her mind in a place she knew only Adaine would find because she trusted her to find it, but she never told Adaine out loud that she was anything other than what their parents said she was, and that's important! It's important that she never showed Adaine any actual affection despite clearly knowing how strong she actually was! She would never have changed if not for the fact that their parents' abuse turned on her when they could no longer touch Adaine after abandoning her.

And all of that is important because if you erase that, you erase who both of them are. Aelwyn's first instinct is always to protect herself and what she considers hers. It wasn't until Junior Year that Aelwyn considered Adaine hers. She's a good sister NOW. She's trying to show love to other people NOW. She openly admits that she struggles to put love into anything but her cats. Adaine choosing to forgive and love her shows Adaine's personal strength and compassion. It was not because Aelwyn was anything close to a good sister to her growing up. To quote the show itself, "Despite the fact that you have not earned, I do love you,"
