Actually tho part of the argument here is that it is anachronistic to take Kant up on these issues. But wrt BLM he actually did think about brutality against black people! (from: medwinpublishers.com/PhIJ/kants-rac…) The classics are classics because they still speak to our modern concerns.

@opinonhaver I honestly think the campaign they ran to oppose the ban negatively polarized a bunch of Members who otherwise didn't care much. A big part of the concern was the platform being used to influence US politics: organizing a phone bank through their platform is a blatant attempt.
this was honestly extremely funny in how it obviously and immediately backfired. some lobbyist got paid the better part of a million dollars to plan something that blew up in their face instantly.
