I think you're proving [my interpretation of the] "unheard voice" argument. You're saying that that the rioting/violence is not what makes Jan 6/Bundy or their respective groups bad, it's their "unheard voice". I don't think MLK meant that violence is always okay, rather that we should think about the demands/motivation for the violence when assessing the groups that cause it.
- alistairSH 5y agoCorrect. Though I'm not convinced Bundy has an unheard voice. He's a rich white rancher. He doesn't want to pay for grazing rights on BLM land. The fact that he can be a giant gun-toting asshole, get media attention, and not get shot or tossed in jail shows me he has a voice. Or at least more of a voice than many other people. I consider him something wholly different than the Jan 6 mob.
