>The MLK quote is trotted out pretty often, but "a riot is the language of the unheard".

Trotted out by ignorant woke dummies. In his 1967 Stanford speech MLK also says: "Let me say as I've always said and I will always continue to say, that riots are socially destructive and self-defeating. I'm still convinced that nonviolence is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for freedom and justice."

Using MLK to defend or advocate violence is astonishingly ahistoric.

>I don't condone violence, but at the same time you have to acknowledge that modern American democracy was built on the foundation of political violence.

This is incoherent. You can't claim to not condone violence and in the same sentence say but actually it works.
