This is so wrong it's insane.
Suffrage movements took decades of work on average to whole centuries in others, only countries with new charters after WW2 generally having it granted initially.
Civil Rights started in the 1800s and saw black congressmen and leaders with a back and forth of conservatives battling to take back rights as they were granted.
Heck if the civil war was about treatment of blacks then you already have a timeline of almost 100 years till the 1960s civil rights movement.
Labor movements historically lasted for decades and had people arguing for and against labor rights back and forth constantly depending on who was seen as evil because people are fickle and just want to not think about things.
Women were literally the starting point of prohibition as they blamed drugs and alcohol on spousal abuse and carried that misconception for long after it eased.
And innovations in storage, refrigeration and greenhouse crop growing has made availability of produce a viable option so that yes! People that want to sell and make money off of it can!
Everything in this world changes incrementally even the fucking weather that is getting worse hasn't just gone full day after tomorrow on us cause it's just not how reality works.
I'm in staunch support of doing what is needed to keep moving forward but it's never just one solution of violence or passiveness or even one movement at a time. Everything is constantly happening always.
Give peace a chance.
Give violence a chance too.
They are all just tools to be used and not a solution.
Take a breath and let's get moving but it's not always forward. And maybe read a history book before negating the work of thousands of people over centuries.
