    de-empathy [Hard: Success] — War, and murder, and violence…they’re all just so terrible. So, so many people are suffering, every single day. And worst of all are the ones who pay back violence with violence. You worry that it merely ensures an unending cycle of ever more violence. Just more and more people being hurt. It is a history of abject failure.

    cindy-the-skull — “Haiti, Angola, South Africa, Cuba, Vietnam. I could genuinely go on.”

    de-drama — Oh-ho, this one knows much, Sire! Good, good! This may prove to be an interesting debate…

    de-encyclopedia [Challenging 12] — Recall everything you know about the history of violent uprisings.

    de-dice-5 de-dice-4 CHECK SUCCESS

    de-encyclopedia — Delving deep within the recesses of your mind, poking around inside all of the grey little folds and corners, you manage to come across a pale, faded memory. Exerting a little concentration frees it from the gummy surface of your liquor-pickled brain, bringing it into focus: it’s the sum total of all of the knowledge you have ever possessed about the history of violent uprisings.

    de-encyclopedia — It’s blank.

    dubois-depressed — No. Surely there has to be something in there.

    de-encyclopedia — You’re a moralist, detective. Why would you know anything about history?

      No

      MLK Jr. never did either

      It’s an attempt to whitewash history to convince people that pacifism is The One True Path to Equality™

        MLK Jr. was not alive to see the bulk of the civil rights act. Most of it was passed a week after his assassination, after the worst riots America had ever seen. Wonder what changed and forced the state’s hand?

      No, he became less of a Black Nationalist and more accepting of white allies in the struggle, but he continued to believe that armed militias should protect black communities if the cops refuse to, at least as far as I know of him.

    I have to give him some credit for immediately backing down and admitting that he actually knows nothing about history. The ideal time to realize this is before you make a sweeping statement about all of human history, but sure, I guess you can do this too…

      I would if he had had at least the decency to word that first tweet as “I think … a history of abject failure”, but he straight up spitted it out as fact.

    Unfortunately this man is not enough of a liberal to understand that it was the thug Nelson Mandela who normalized the lack of civility we see in Palestine today.
