    What if MLK did not support feminists? Would he now be considered scum, thus negating everything good he ever did?

    he literally addressed the national organization for women in 1966 and espoused their ideals.

    giving a pass to the people from history is problematic because the same ideals of progressiveness that we pride ourselves on today were present in the past and people knew that it existed; they simply weren’t as popular back then as they are now and anyone espousing them back then were treated like tankies of their own time.

    giving them a pass only helps to excuse regressivism and anti-progressive sentiment like both the republicans and democrats (respectively) practice today; this is a key reason why we have trump as president today and probably jd vance tomorrow.






  • reading your post reminded me of myself 25 years long ago; searching google, or articles, or forums with well done informations like yours and my comment was intended for someone like the old version of me tearing his hear out trying to get something like vmware to work, when someone could have just told me that the names of a lazier version that works just as well… so i’m paying it forward. lol
