Lynchings of black people continued well into the 1900s. https://naacp.org/find-resources/history-explained/history-lynching-america https://naacp.org/find-resources/history-explained/history-l...
And in particular during the civil rights movement, there was extraordinary violence against black people for daring to do nothing more than speak.

The State helped - the FBI tried to convince MLK to kill himself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI%E2%80%93King_suicide_letter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI%E2%80%93King_suicide_lette...
> Socialism was extremely popular in academia during that period.
For about 5 minutes until McCarthy and friends started chucking people in prison. This is such common knowledge I'm honestly not sure what to link other than simply the wikipedia article on McCarthyism lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism
While it's not stoning, I consider arbitrary imprisonment also an unacceptable form of State violence and suppression of ideas.
So until the State or something as powerful as it starts literally imprisoning conservatives, or angry mobs start lynching them, I don't really care about the whining about "cancelling" and "deplatforming."
Go to a protest, the cops still buddy up with the Proud Boys. They still beat us for kneeling. Conservatives and their ideology are perfectly safe.
- hotdogscout 3y agoIf you look at any right leaning pundit online you'd see substantial instances of violence against the right. Look at Andy Ngo's Feed. 1924 preceded McCarthyism by 3 decades. I conceded that the stonings did happen against Black people and I didn't know.
