when people say "you have to do it like MLK did", there's a lot of history getting washed out in that BS platitude but a big one is how different the media environment was and how that impacts tactics. the 60s have

Meine Urgroßtante hat mit 90 noch Bücher unter dem Sofakissen versteckt, damit sie nicht beim Lesen erwischt wurde.
In meiner Jugend war zum Glück schon der Fernseher der Böse. Heute sind es Handys.
Dabei vergessen die meisten, dass das Medium alleine nicht alles ist. Der Inhalt ist mMn wichtiger.

This has become an area of academic research, that people often mistake the profound discomfort of visible poverty with risk of violent danger

Media hysteria around “rising crime” works because it touches on something real: a palpable increase in visible human suffering. What matters is how we alleviate that suffering.

"let's take this to my place" with a quote to a new thread would be a nice etiquette if we could normalize it
