“I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a ‘thing-oriented’ society to a ‘person-oriented’ society. When machines and computers, profit motives, and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.” — Martin Luther King
As we pause to celebrate the ninety-forth anniversary of the birth of Martin Luther King Jr. perhaps we should ponder and contemplate what Martin Luther King, Jr. would say about current events, the war in Ukraine, COVID lockdowns, and the insane income and wealth gaps that currently exist.
We know that King railed against the war in Southeast Asia and was planning a Poor People’s Campaign with massive demonstrations and live-ins in Washington, DC. His goal was to raise awareness about the entrenched socio-economic inequities in America and to force the government to change its priorities and policies when he was shot-down in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 4, 1968.
What would King’s positions be on these issues and topics in 2023? As an older man, what would King’s approach be to addressing and attempting to solve the existential issues of the day? If we look at what he said then, can we extrapolate what his positions might be today on the issues of war, greed, avarice, poverty, and in this modern era transhumanism? Would he be censored, de-platformed, and silenced like so many others? Would he be silenced by a bullet or an injection supposedly to mitigate a virus?
Unlike the ’60s when there was: free speech, the right to peacefully assemble, protest and dissent, today’s authoritarian environment would offer major challenges to a man of conscience and action like Martin Luther King, Jr. In all probability, he would be cut-off from mainstream media access, denied a platform to speak to denounce the government’s actions overseas and here at home. If he were on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter, he would, in all likelihood, be suspended and or deplatformed!
