I feel the same. i feel like early liberals were smart and stratigic. For instance Rosa Parks wasn't the first woman to refuse to go to the back in the bus--it was a black teenager who was then recruited by MLK Jr....it was a strategic move to have Rosa Parks to it because she was an older, black church lady. This was actually a smart movie. The civil rights protesters were also smart enough to not riot and only wanted people that would help their cause in their cause. Of course though maybe this isn't the best example really; they were still hated at the time...but they did get most people on their side right?

i also hate this stupid shit: All work is slavery! No, it fucking isn't. STOP IT!

yeah MLK jr was killed by FBI because he actually was pretty smart with his tactics. Before that they had been trying to blackmail him, cuz he appaently cheated on his wife and shit but he didn't really care because he knew no one really would care about that. Usually they only kill someone when all else fails, that is what tells me MLK was pretty effective. At the end he was starting the poor people's campaign, which untied poor blacks and whites and was to march on washington.
