People like to bring up MLK and non-violence to say that people being disruptive are protesting wrong. But like…they shut down roads. They sat where they weren’t supposed to and got beaten for it. “Non-violent” is not the same as “peaceful”, and non-violence is not the only effective tactic

Saying this because I saw someone deriding disruptive protests as “antisocial” and saying that people who block roads are playing into fascists’ hands. It’s just such an out of touch perspective that completely lacks any analysis of power.

I saw that and had the same thoughts and decided not to interact with that person. Agree with you completely. Thanks for saying so.
