      at which point they will be considered martyrs for liberalism

      thing about martyrs is they're dead so they can't contradict you

      Once it's used in a capeshit tv show, of course, like the Tulsa bombing and the Watchmen show

        It was weird that both watchmen and lovecraft country had Tulsa massacre scenes.

          I never watched that tbh, but that does sound like something that lovecraft himself would put in his books. That they'd have to do it to shut down a old god summoning, I mean

            Lovecraft country was based on a fantasy/sci fi book about a black family in the 50s-60s written by a white dude.

            Black Wall Street was a trope because the idea sounds good to a “progressive” bourgeoisie
