    If “order” contains mass graves full of Palestinian toddlers, I’m going to suggest that decent people want no part of it.

      situations where arguments must be made from ‘law and order’ are inexorably undivorceable from a Hitlerian school of statecraft. outright saying ‘there is no argument against your cause, but you’re not respecting me and you’re making me look weak, so I’ll stamp you out.’

    Following on from change in rhetoric here (UK) at the start of the protests. ‘Violent protests’ are not a right and also all protests are violent, regardless of whether any actual violence occurs.

    Climbing on a statue? Violence. Blocking a road? Violence. Hanging flags? Violence. Completely unspecified and in evidenced claims that someone, somewhere was made to feel ‘unsafe’? Violence.

    "First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er 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 can’t agree with your methods of direct action;” who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.”
