Weird, isn't it, like there's some vast wellspring of support a political party could have tapped into by doing literally fucking anything but defending the status quo.

    It's almost like the uniting factor of the people is class. I feel like there was a historical figure once, who was assassinated for trying to pivot from race to class because the government saw the danger of a united population.

    Every other cause is a distraction from that one.

    I assumed they were talking about MLK.

    Yes. Is it surprising to you that the US government would be involved in the assassination of a Civil Rights and socialist leader or have ties to white supremacy?

    If so, I can recommend quite a lot of further reading about... Most of US history.
