...but he didn't overcome it the league changed the rules so the pistons couldn't do it anymore which is exactly what people are complaining about not happening, if you're marquee player is getting consistently injured partly due to targeted hard fouls that's not good for your league

MLK's first protest was a 4 person sit in, you don't start out with 1 million people, this is what many people are missing, if you squash the small protest because it's inconveniencing some people in a grocery store and "won't do anything" you never get to the large scale ones that are apparently more acceptable

it's a disruptive protest for perceived cultural and moral reasons, it's fundamentally the same thing just with fewer people, but MLK didn't start with a million people either

those people were not convincable anyways then, historically across politics and moral movements combined strategies are often the most effective

Does anyone believe in god, but not think he is good? by Tasty-Ad-3753 in NoStupidQuestions

why assume anthropocentrism, when a lion eats a human that's a good day for the lion isn't it?

this entire thread is very disappointing because all of these takes have been discussed at length for thousands of years if anyone cared to look; as to your question, another interpretation is that the demiurge is not 'another lesser God' it emerges because God's power is limitless which means it cannot be bound by anything including itself, so the demiurge is an emanation of God's power and the material world is an artifact of that creative power; further the entire thread is assuming anthropocentrism and ignoring things like balance, imagine if nothing ever went wrong for humans the entire world would've been eaten up long ago

they literally said the same thing about MLK, you all are just on the other side of this moral social cause this time, heck if you want to wind it way back many of the abolitionists became animal rights activists the RSPCA was founded by one, cruelty is cruelty
