He was also created out of emptiness

To be fair, both Ghandi and MLK Jr. showed that there is an alternative to violence that can be very effective in gaining support.

That being said, I do think the Black Panthers/Malcom X were very instrumental in the civil rights movement. I think the leadership saw two options: work with MLK Jr. or deal with the Black Panthers.

Of course, the FBI, amongst other groups in power at the time were able to successfully thwart MLK Jr.'s attempt at educating people about class consciousness. MLK Jr. wasn’t just fighting for equal rights among racial lines, but also economic lines.

Hell, Jesus Christ was able to start an entire religion based in nonviolent protest based around class consciousness. Of course, that religion has since been perverted, but the point still stands.

Organize en masse using a common enemy (billionaires). Fascists win when they are able to successfully divide and conquer, which they have been very successful at.

There’s a very good reason both neoliberals and fascists have been working so hard for so long to distract the masses from who’s causing the real issues in society.

We can’t let them shut us down this time, like they did with Occupy Wall Street, the George Floyd protests, the hippy movement, MLK Jr.'s economic movement. We need to stay controversial and constantly active so we can stay in the news cycle (much like how Trump has been able to dominate the news cycle since 2015). If they try to distract us, we must counter at every step of the way.

Workers have the real power in society, and the oligarchs can’t survive without us. The sooner we all realize that, the better.

They tasted the tiniest bit of power, and now it’s all they crave.

Not to mention it would weigh about 2kg more than a normal laptop due to the steel plates.

I totally wouldn’t mind that. My daily driver keyboard is an XT Model F lmao
