As opposed to that quote about “the horrifying ordeal of being known,” do y’all ever feel so positively UNKNOWN and UNSEEN that it frightens you? Like there’s a self that you feel on the inside, and you believe to be “you,” but it seems like nobody else sees that version of you? And they’re interacting with someone that isn’t you but a projection of their experience of you? What’s more, perhaps nobody will ever know your true essence and you will die without ever being fully realized????? I’m only two beers in honestly

I feel like there’s a reason why MLK is practically the face of 1960s protest: nonviolence can be more easily forced into subordination. Nonviolent protest does not threaten conservatives’ OR liberals’ platforms, and allows both to keep the angry masses under their thumb. Versus a Malcolm X, a Black Panther Party, etc. that will *demand* their needs and their rights through whatever means necessary.
