Greta Is Our MLK. That’s Not Necessarily a Good Thing.

"As with King, Thunberg acolytes have attributed these critiques to jealousy, bigotry, vested interests, and even proto-fascism. Yet many harsh critics of Dr. King—Ella Baker, Malcolm X, Gloria Richardson, James Forman and others—were just as dedicated to social justice as he was, and took similar risks in their activism."

Ella Baker and the Limits of Charismatic Masculinity

"At every opportunity Baker reiterated the radical idea that educated elites were not the natural leaders of Black people. Critically reflecting on her work with the NAACP, she observed, "The Leadership was all from the professional class, basically. I think these are the factors that have kept it from moving to a more militant position."

Beyond MLK

When Ella Baker left to help found SNCC in 1960, she warned the students about the phenomenon of the “charismatic leader…It usually means the media made him, and the media may undo him…such a person gets to the point of believing that he is the movement.”

Today, "The Axis of Evil" psyops (still drilled into the Euro-American psych) has been coupled, if not superseded, with the manufacturing of fear. Add to this orchestrated fear, the "Humanitarian Intervention" and "Responsibility to Protect" doctrines. The crème de le crème of imperial rhetoric. Such doctrines, created by American "think-tanks", for the elite, by the elite, are of critical use for a declining and morally bankrupt empire. An empire that brilliantly attempts to convince and portray, utilizing the language within these doctrines, that the atrocities they manufacture, call for, and carry out, are somehow honourable and admirable – as opposed to what they actually are – crimes against humanity.
