I had to google ecofeminism and deep ecology. Big fan of deep ecology

I had to look up the strategic hamlet program in Vietnam. I tried and failed to find a memoir about it

Some grassroots organizations were against MLK-style tactics, which would incite racial violence to get attention of federal government and then left black residents of those towns to deal with it

Middle class organizers were nonviolent because they wanted the sympathy of the middle class for legislative change; more militant groups had more experience with poverty and racial violence

Freedom riders wanted their actions to incite violence by racists so that the federal government would be forced to step in

It makes a lot of sense that BBC was banned from reporting on militant groups that helped gain India independence. Heaven forbid they give people ideas

I never realized that WWII was used as a distraction to win Indian independence. All their resources were being funneled elsewhere

If nonviolent protests lead to protestors being killed anyway, might as well violently protest

Government offered Nelson Mandela release if he would endorse pacifism, but he said “Non-violence is not a moral principle but a strategy. And there is no moral goodness in using an ineffective weapon”

Liberals have erased radical actions from the history of social movements and historical leaders (or demonized those who use radical actions; MLK Jr vs Malcolm X)
