Was reminded how Epstien not killing himself was/is so accepted yet it’s still a conspiracy theory. Is there any similar ones you guys believe to be completely true ?

Do you really think making a martyr out of MLK is a strategy the US gov wouldn't have anticipated had they murdered him/let him be murdered?

Dude would not be what he is today had he not been murdered.

    But as a martyr the government can paint him as being only about racism, not about economics.

    Also he was assassinated 4 years after the passage of the Civil Rights Act, so to say he wouldnt remembered without being killed is a gross exaggeration. It may have boosted his legacy, but there is not doubt he would still be an important figure in American history.

    Have you ever listened to MLK speak or read anything he's written? Dude would absolutely be what he is today if he had not been murdered.

    No I was raised in Antarctica.

    Not a chance. There is no shortage of motivational speakers in this world.
