You are partly correct, plenty of rights have been won through negotiation
And what do you think the negotiators are negotiating about? Why do you think anyone took Martin Luther King serious? They were fucking scared of Malcolm X and Marcus Garvey. “We make a deal with you so the scarier people don’t get any scarier than they are right now”
And Martin Luther King STILL got killed for speaking out. You’ve shown some really ignorant and privileged views in this thread. I’m glad Sweden’s been so kind to you, but maybe don’t chirp about shit you don’t know about if you don’t want people to say you sound like a tool for oppressors, especially when your nations wealth comes from the fossil fuels that’s killing everyone else. You are a beneficiary of colonialism even if you’re not the beneficiary of colonialism.
As I have said before, I do not consider the US a free country in this context.
Mask away if you want.
