You realize he’s hypocritical of himself. He’s fighting for rights period while allegedly assaulting women. He fought for the rights of the ones who look like him, not everyone

I’m saying the more inclusive name would fit the story better. What I’m about to say may sound bad so if you’re confused I’ll explain better. I hate it’s MLK day because he wasn’t the only major leader for civil rights and definitely not the last one killed for it. I respect him, the movement, and everything he accomplished. So for me I think it should be more of a civil rights labeled day and not just him

I agree it also comes back to how these movements and events are told. They’re told in a manner that often centralizes individuals while ignoring the greater collective effort and the vast diversity of people and opinions.

There is solid evidence saying that you’re wrong, immigration has overall been net positive towards the economy, and job growth outpaces immigration significantly

So him being a “communist” is straight up false. At that time communists actually sympathized with the African American movement and supported it. But they (African American) would put out these posters with their table and invite people to talk about why the communists support them and how they aren’t communists.

He was an adulterer and also present and complicit in a rape case, so MLK is likewise problematic. Not taking away from his achievements, but doing a great good does not absolve you of your sins.

He hated undocumented immigrants. Which I disagree but the reason for this was because it made legal immigrants and the general Hispanic population look bad, and it also negatively affects and lengthens the legal pathway for people trying to obtain citizenship. I don’t fully agree with him at all, my parents are undocumented but he didn’t hate them for a bigoted reason.

How can you say increasing GDP only benefits the rich but reducing GDP per capita hurts the poor? Clearly you understand that GDP is not a good measure for how wealthy the working class is, so why does dividing it by population suddenly make it valid?

Because the rich always hoard the benefits and push off the consequences onto others. Of course it’s not 100% accurate, the rich do have some negative effects from economic downturn and the poor get some benefits from economic upturn, but look at 2008. A few banks utterly pillaged the American and global economy, and used the bailout money to give themselves fat bonuses for “weathering the storm” they caused, while laying off millions. Since 2020, the US GDP is up like 8 trillion dollars, but

I bet you nor I have felt any real benefits from it. Meanwhile 6 years ago, the richest man was Bezos and he was worth ~$175 billion, and now it’s Musk and he’s worth over $800 billion supposedly. GDP is up ~33% since then (21 trillion to 29 trillion), but the richest man’s wealth has ballooned 400%. They do reap an outsize portion of the benefits from growth and shield themselves from loss

I’m agreeing with you that GDP is a bad measure of how economically healthy the working class is. That’s why I think it’s reductive to say immigrants reducing GDP per capita is a reasonable argument against immigration.

That’s my point. I love trans people and I love my guns to protect myself as a single girl living alone. This is why politics has been hard to me. I either give trans their rights and I lose my part of my rights to help protect myself. Or I let myself have guns but leave a vulnerable part of the population unprotected. And yes guns should be more restricted for the schools but the schools should be funded more to also help protect students. But why can’t we take 5b of out the 800b dollar fund
