power is only transfered by those who hold power to the ones asking for power, if the ones in power agree to it. So, the transfer of power from one group to another happens only if the ones in power allow it to happen. MLK could have rambled all of his life if he wanted to. The only reason black people got thier rights was because Lyndon B. Johnson pushed the subject on congress a lot, called in a lot of favors, and the general population was afraid of mass rioting. THe same thing happened in India. Had WW2 not happened and ruined the British Empire, the fuck England would have let go of that colony. With limited resources and no money to fund a force to âsquash the rebel scumâ, they saw it easier to let go of the colony and keep influences there. The exact opposite happened in Vietnam. The French did not ever give up Vietnam, and fought against those who wanted to free the nation. Then it escalated into the Vietnam we know. Its easy to say peaceful civil disobedience works when one doesnât look at the entirety of the picture. The opposing side, which usually fights under the banner of âfreedom or equalityâ, does so in a way where they make it clear that they wonât take it anymore and will do what needs to be done.
On the Hitler thing, did come to that conclusion based only on what you have read in your High School history book, and a few History channel? To make that statement is to have refuse to acknowledge what he did in the entirety of his life. Have you read anything about him, or done more research to make that statement? Just because there is this aura of taboo and this per-concieved notion of supposed most evil man ever (which in reality, Stalin easily takes from Hitler) doesnât mean you can make blanket statements because of the really fucked up shit he did or allowed to happen.
He turned a broken, starving, defeated, humiliated peopleâŚinto the most prosperous nation in the world. He did it in about 6 years, in peace time, through the re-industrialization, re-restructuring, and rebuilding of infastructre of Germany. Keep in mind he didnât steal the âJewâ gold into after 1941, when the Holocaust was enacted. He didnât steal their jobs until after 1938 after the night of broken glass, Germany was already built up and running while the rest of the world lay dying. So no, he didnât build up Germany of the gold of the Jews. I understand the hate, and the warrant of that hate, but at least know something before making that statement. To dismiss his leadership as poppy cot bullshit is somewhat ignorant. Things can always be learned from something or somebody.
Its crazy really, that a lot of those evilâs he belived in, where widley accepted throught the white manâs world. That extreme hate wasnât limited only to the Nazi party.
But i donât liken it to the US-Israel position. (Although, my belief is that, that blind relationship is more toxic and harmful than good). I liken it more to the one percent situation. Small population, hold a disproportionate amount of wealth, have to much of a say in politics, and donât fulfill their civic duties as citizens. If things donât stabilize soon, which it seem like they wonât. (Greece is trying to prosecute and imprison for life a technocrat that assessed that Greece has been lying about how much it deficit really is, 15.8% of its GDP, compared to what it said was 12%. US passing obscene and unconstitutional laws, etc). People will get feed up and turn violent if things really hit the fan.
