"I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: 'I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action'; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom." -- Martin Luther King Jr.
Methods of Direct Action was the name of my punk band in high school.
Joking aside, anyone who thinks actions to change an unfair system is the problem, is obviously a fascist in disguise.
He wasn't wrong. Racists didn't put Trump in the White House. Apathetic centrists and moderates did. And no, it's not just about him. Buy it's the one of the more salient example of modern moderates allowing horrible shit.
