    Arthur Chu Retweeted A.R. Moxon

    People just literally don't know They've erased the 60s and 70s, despite the incredible amount of mass media documentation of the era, completely in their mindshttps://twitter.com/JuliusGoat/status/1340639243891322884 …

    Arthur Chu added,

    AR Moxon: "defund the police" is a good slogan because it announces our exact intentions, and it declares the exact solution to a clear problem. many popular thing started off as something impossibly unpopular

Reply: like what? Like, people like saying this but I'm not actually sure there are a ton of examples. Civil Rights, maybe, but they intentionally took pains to not be provocative

    Shout out to this, perhaps the most extraordinary thing anybody said to me on this site in 2020. pic.twitter.com/JsLiApL1sj

        If MLK didn't want to provoke anyone he would've just not marched Part of the historical erasure here turning the civil rights movement into a bunch of bloodless plaster saints is erasing the fact that there WERE people who didn't march

        There were, then as now, quite a few Black conservatives, especially pastors, who spoke against MLK and told him not to march *because it would be provocative* That he was "sowing discord and division" that would bring more trouble to the Black community

        The irony here is that these Black conservatives -- their publications and op-eds and speeches -- were largely forgotten by history because the passage of the Civil Rights Act proved them wrong But then white historians took their words and put them in MLK's mouth

        MLK wasn't a registered Republican, never voted for a Republican, according to his wife, spoke out in a presidential campaign for the only time in his life *against* a Republican (Barry Goldwater) But today's GOP have made a meme out of "MLK was a Republican"

        Because there were Black Republican loyalists who *opposed MLK and the Civil Rights movement* (his dad, MLK Sr., talked about having been one of them before JFK stood up for his son and got him out of prison)

        And in a shockingly perverse revisionism they've made a composite character out of the actual person Martin Luther King, Jr. and his most outspoken opponents within the Black community The person they imagine MLK to be would've been a concern troll against the bus boycotts

        It's not just the 60s and 70s, it's ANY modern progress towards greater rights and security for others. Civil rights is a huge one, labor rights is another. The number of folks who don't know that unionizing used to mean getting beaten to fuck by cops and Pinkertons...

        I mean, does ANY school ever cover, say, the Battle of Blair Mountain? The only reason why people know about the Tulsa Massacre is because of Watchmen and Lovecraft Country, some folks only know about the early union movement because of Newsies...

        it's whole people who are actively not taught history so they end up becoming "good American citizens" bro... these people are MEANT not to know the atrocities this country has committed, so THEY will continue to believe it's something to be proud of... this country blows

        what they don't teach you about selma is that the police showed up with dogs and fire hoses and then mlk made a speech at them and they all became civil rights
