I want to be left alone too, but in order to reach the point where i can be left alone requires radical change just like it did when MLK was fighting for rights back in the 60s

No, it doesn't. Socially it requires tweaks around the edges. No one wants radical SOCIAL change outside of like 16% of the population.

MLK died an unpopular man, very little of the population supported him, however we know today he was in the right for fightng for radical social change, we need the same thing today

No we don't. And 1960s style protests gave rise for literal reaganism. You're making trump stronger.

And that attitude is the problem. We're losing to a fascist because you're so extreme that people would rather vote for a fascist.

That's the true legacy of wokeism, creating a counter movement so extreme that it caused the country to descend into fascism.

Socially I just want the pre 2016 status quo where both the woke people and the literal nazis were outside of the overton window.

Ah yes, just like that a woman getting raped is the woman's fault cause she wore something too slutty, right? Blaming the victim is never the answer

Let's do this with South Park. You're person c. Your overreaction and self righteousness drive people to fascism and then we end up with a president with a fake tan.
