      I once went researching the history of The Diary of Anne Frank and found a surprisingly "modern-feeling" controversy about the 1959 film adaptation The ADL "tried to cancel" Austrian actress Gusti Huber, who'd portrayed Mrs Frank on Broadway and reprised the role in the film

      Because she did, in fact, have close ties to members of the Nazi regime and had gladly appeared in Nazi propaganda films in the 30s and 40s, before whitewashing her past and reinventing herself as an anti-Nazi resister after the war

      They had a petition and they picketed the shoot and everything Ultimately didn't come to much, the movie was still a huge hit and now it's like one paragraph on Huber's Wikipedia page

      You could argue it's not a big deal - Huber never killed anyone herself, everyone is long dead now, the movie "stands on its own", etc But I dunno, I'm still fucking pissed that some Nazi actress played Anne Frank's mom

      More importantly, I'm not gonna go back in time and tell the actual Holocaust survivors who were there in 1958 they were wrong to be upset, that you've got to separate art from the artist, that these cultural issues are downstream of real politics What kind of an asshole would

      Jfc You try to invoke MLK to make your point and turn him into this caricature of a class-forster, like he'd scoff at "cultural issues" mattering But at the same time he was radicalizing re: economic issues he was ALSO radicalizing on "cultural issues"

      There's nothing radical about anything you've said about culture or any of this. You're mouthing modern day mainstream Democratic party liberalism

      It's a fools errand, but I don't see the MLK increasingly aware of the economic basis of racism and of racism among liberals and moderates as a guy who would support the author of the crime bill and call it anti-racism.

      MLK famously never endorsed any political candidate and never affiliated with the Democratic Party But he damn well ANTI-endorsed Barry Goldwater in 1964 In fact he put everything else on hold prior to that election for a massive GotV drive for LBJ

      And I think it's fair to say that LBJ, especially LBJ in 1964, was worse on pretty much every measure than Joe Biden in 2020, while Goldwater was significantly LESS bad than Donald Trump

      MLK even said that in his view Goldwater wasn't personally a racist, a test DJT surely fails, but believed that the reactionary political tendency Goldwater represented would destroy the hope for all near term progresspic.twitter.com/ghY1eviL51

          This is the same argument that people like Bernie Sanders made for why Trump and Trumpism were so dangerous, that people like you mock as "shilling for the corporate Dems" Which is fine, I guess, just don't lie or speak out of ignorance about who MLK would've sided with

          This is what's so fucking stupid about this discourse "Electing Joe Biden over Donald Trump is not sufficient!" Yeah no shit And electing LBJ over Goldwater was obviously not sufficient MLK said so very forcefully Doesn't mean it wasn't worth doing, like it's a BAD THING
