“The great enemy of justice are those moderates who feign outrage at societal injustice, but whose outrage conveniently disappears when real change threatens their status. These moderates are more comfortable leaving unchallenged the assumed moral authority of certain institutions, traditions and practices that are the purveyors of injustice rather than confronting their own role in maintaining these institutions. The hard truth is that the comfort of the status quo is always preferable to pursuing the demands of justice.”

Despite what moderates (centrists, neoliberals, etc.)—who are more devoted to order than justice—might be saying, there should be no doubt that Martin Luther King, Jr. would be on the side of the student protesters who are standing up for Palestine 🇵🇸
ill never forget that one post someone made in the r/med school subreddit where it was a meme like "'minorities have it sooo easy, they'll get accepted to any med school because they're minorities' 'meanwhile, first year med school class: (that one pic of the row of identical looking white guys at a baseball game)'" and the mods locked that post for being racist dFGHDFHDG
