It is not how the US handled the Civil Rights Movement: MLK was called a terrorist. Neither is it how the apartheid was taken on in South Africa. Or any major social improvement: strikes, demonstrations and struggles were necessary. Playing the passivity card is, at least, dragging down the struggle.

Strikes, demonstrations, etc. are useful tools. Blacklists and firing people for political opinions are not, they often cause more harm than help.
