ID: 3 panel comic:
-
A surprised looking person pops in to existence on a floating rock surrounded by fire, next to the devil.
-
The person asks “wait a second-- why’d I end up in hell??”
-
The devil, now taking up the entire frame, replies: “because centrism enables fascism”
Context for readers: The direct action MLK Jr spoke of was political action and progressive legislative reform. The reason I bring this up is sometimes Tankies and Anarchists use his words to incite violence, which MLK Jr would strictly oppose.
Non-violent protest is an opening offer, not the endgame. It’s a promise not to be violent so long as there’s an honest dialoge.
Without the threat of eventual violence, they have no reason to listen at all.
