Bingo. The right needs to stop trying to use King as some kind of a gotcha. King was a communist-sponsored agitator, and he only said what he did because during his time, the demoralization of the American public wasn't as thorough as it is today, so he couldn't get away with the shit BLM gets away with now. He only called for nonviolence because if they tried to pull BLM back in the 60s, he'd be hanging from the nearest tree, pronto. If he was alive today, he'd be out there cheering BLM's reign of terror, and organizing friendly DAs to drop all charges.
Also, you can't "gotcha" the left, they don't care, they'll happily call King a house nigger if it suits them.
Ghandi also used "non-violence" in a cynical way, knowing it's the best way for the weak to garner support against the powerful. He would have been more than happy to nuke England if he could've.
Knowing that just makes playing Civ that much more fun.
There were thousands of civil rights workers independent of King. King leaned Left, towards Communism, and so the press loved him and watered him and covered him rapturously.
