I think people will ask how the power of peace and love stopped Nazi Germany and protected the victims of the holocaust.

Empathy, solidarity, and love are important but let's not pretend that if we just love those who hate minorities hard enough, they'll stop doing it.

"True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice." ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Charlie Kirk, had he been running a country, would literally be the next hitler. Do you regularly send your love to hitler every month because people regularly talk about what a disgusting human he was? These quotes maybe generally agreeable but there are exceptions that they don't apply to. Charlie Kirk was a man with a very large sphere of influence who worked very hard so that the world would be exact opposite of what is being described in these quotes. And he did make significant contributions to this. So even from that perspective I think you can be happy that his death has slowed down going in the other direction.

The white liberal must rid himself of the notion that there can be a tensionless transition from the old order of injustice to the new order of justice. Two things are clear to me, and I hope they are clear to white liberals. One is that the Negro cannot achieve emancipation through violent rebellion. The other is that the Negro cannot achieve emancipation by passively waiting for the white race voluntarily to grant it to him. The Negro has not gained a single right in America without persistent pressure and agitation. However lamentable it may seem, the Negro is now convinced that white America will never admit him to equal rights unless it is coerced into doing it.

Nonviolent coercion always brings tension to the surface. This tension, however, must not be seen as destructive. There is a kind of tension that is both healthy and necessary for growth. Society needs nonviolent gadflies to bring its tensions into the open and force its citizens to confront the ugliness of their prejudices and the tragedy of their racism.

It is important for the liberal to see that the oppressed person who agitates for his rights is not the creator of tension. He merely brings out the hidden tension that is already alive.

Yeah man just like we loved the literal Nazis of WW2 so much they surrendered without any bloodshed.

Oh wait it took countless lives to beat them. Hatred for sure was a thing on all sides. Disgusting but effective. And i am sorry for the soldiers who often had no say about being thrown into a meat grinder of hate. I still think the foreclosure of the concentration camps was one the most important achievements of mankind.

Like i get the message but i really would love to hear how Donald and his flock of Xenophobes can be changed by love.

Jeez, what a bunch of nazi-enabling jerks.

Why so much hate? Didn't you learn to love your jerky neighbours? 😘
