Yeah, MLK Jr was pretty clear about his position when he said that communism and Christianity are fundamentally incompatible. He was a socialist, which is a different thing. But let's pretend that he said socialist instead of communist... Wouldn't that make you kinda curious to know the details of what socialism is then? Because everybody says that King was a great man and helped achieve racial equality, so his ideology must not be as evil as everybody says, right?

So if you're young and maybe not super aware of politics and civics and everything, and you see this tweet in response to a general "Happy MLK Jr Day" tweet from Elmo, you're gonna have questions and your Google results are gonna lead you to answers that reveal what a fucking clown show the John Birch society is.

It's petty, it's factually inaccurate, and if chases young people to your opposition's ideology. Plus picking on a literal Muppet is the kind of thing a lazy writer would write to show how villainous a character is. What a disaster of a tweet, and I'm thrilled to see it.

Being called a communist is a compliment tbh.
