The amount of people who tell me to have patience and that progress is slow while they stand by and let actual regression happen in front of them as some sort of inevitable concession in our acceptance is nuts
In all seriousness I think one of the most important things activists can take from MLK Jr's actions is that if you want positive change you have to be an asshole.
Wanting to change things is always going to upset someone, lots of someones, and you can't avoid it. So you just press on.
