I think the difference between EfreetSK’s example and the situation to which MLK’s quote applies is that MLK already had enough people on his side to force others to take him seriously.

In the UK, demonstrations for trans rights are fairly common. It is also almost exactly as common for them not to be reported on at all in any major news outlet. With the laws in the UK as they are, any trans person participating in a “disruptive” protest is liable to end up in a men’s prison (and if self-medding, as many must, deprived of HRT) for a long time, so there aren’t many takers for the Just Stop Oil brand of protesting either. It sucks, but sometimes softly softly is what’s required.

Rule 1. Be happy.

Rule 2. Don’t be unhappy.

Few people here think it would’ve solved any problems, however it might have prevented some trans people being dead over the next few years.

That’s the kind of right hand grip that requires years of training.

Bacterial flagella are also rotary motors! I did an optional module in biophysics as part of my physics degree and I would recommend it to anyone.

ITT: People who think “liberal” means any one single thing.

ITT: People who think “leftist” means any one single thing.

He did murder a lot of people with drone strikes.

Because using what little influence you have to prevent a trans genocide means you are endorsing Palestinian genocide, and are therefore a fascist. /s

It’s true. REAL anti-fascists only live in safe, non-fascist places. If you stay and try to fight the fascists, then you’re really just a fascist. /s

I’ve been using minoxidil and finasteride on and off for some years (on and off roughly correlating to hopeful and hopeless periods of mental health).

I’ve been informed by some hair loss people that at this stage they don’t think there’s any point wasting money on PRP or LLLT or anything like that, but I did recently buy a derma roller anyway, since they’re cheap and one can always hope for a miracle.

I think I’ll try to stick with a “delulu is the solulu” outlook until I’ve at least been on full dose HRT for a year or so and then cut my losses.

Why is the mash brown? And why does it look too gloopy? I have a theory that this lunatic has mixed gravy directly into the mash.

Some frogs ribbit. Other frogs croak.

He can’t be the pigeon lady because it turned out the pigeon lady was likeable.

The UK was not open and tolerant in the 70s, which is why there was one race riot after another on the 80s.

The UK has definitely gotten worse in the last few years or so, possibly a decade, but before that was a golden period just after terrorism-related Islamophobia had died down and before refugee-related Islamophobia kicked in where the UK was probably the best it ever was on terms of racial attitudes.

You can tell it’s British by the fact that there are two white vans and not a pick-up truck in sight.

Hey, no worries! It just seemed like a funny response to post. I appreciate you going out of your way to educate.

The gay aunt is transition goals for me. Too bad I’m going to have to spend a lot of money to have a chance of growing back enough hair to make that hair style viable.

It all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down. 🎶

I don’t think the argument does fail. OP is not arguing against killing in the heat of the moment in self-defence or whatever. OP is arguing specifically about executions after the fact. The only way “maximizing who survives” would be relevant is if you believe capital punishment is a deterrent, and that is arguable.
