      "Modern John Brown would be Pete Buttigieg" is like some type of perverse blasphemy I don't quite know how to digest. These tweets are genuine evil.

        John Brown started my path towards being a Communist

        I read what he did, how he so strongly understood the evil of slavery that he went out and did something about it, and that resonated with me

        Of course, the people who would tell me, "Oh, he had the right idea, but he shouldn't have killed people" only strengthened my respect for him, because I knew they were just the same mealy-mouthed cowards who would said they stood against slavery but would do nothing to actually dismantle the system that permitted it

        It is genuinely one of the most disrespectful things I've ever heard said about the man.

      John Brown didn't conditionally advocate for people in bondage if they were christian, this person is completely thoughtless.

      John Brown was really religious-->really religious people hate non-believers (which isn't even generally true) but it's demonstrably untrue in Brown's case with even a cursory knowledge of his life

        I posted this further up but John Ingersoll was the most famous atheist of the day and a friend of Brown and said this

        But the real pioneer in America was old John Brown. Moved not by prejudice, not by love of his blood, or his color, but by an infinite love of Liberty, of Right, of justice, almost single- handed, he attacked the monster, with thirty million people against him. His head was wrong. He miscalculated his forces; but his heart was right. He struck the sublimest blow of the age for freedom. It was said of him that he stepped from the gallows to the throne of God. It was said that he had made the scaffold to Liberty what Christ had made the cross to Christianity.

      Ah yes, of everyone in society to hate, it would be the communists for atheism and not the monstrous war machine that scours a million lives a decade and robs the global South of its resources every time its gaze falls upon a poor, barely defend brown country like the eye of Sauron. Yes, I'm sure he'd be an insufferable terminally online social media lib, rather than the one who shoots the insufferable terminally online social media lib.

      communists are atheists

      "Finance imperialists are soulless and satanic, every church is just a temporarily embarrassed Jeffrey Epstein pagan temple" this is atheism, I am very smart!

      This is what happens when literally the only thing you know about John Brown was he was against slavery

                  I feel like there should be a word for realizing the world is 3D is unique ways. I've expressed this feeling when moving furniture, when doing engineering designing, and a few others, and now with regards to geography. It's this mindblowing feeling that the 2D simplifications we often use and are so used to just remove so much possibility when you reach the edge of what's possible. Draw a line on a map and this seems ridiculous but imagine a sphere and it becomes readily apparent. Try to move a cabinet through a door without utilizing all 3 angles and it becomes apparent. Dimensional readjustment or something

                  Seems pretty dialectical actually in some way I can't put my finger on

      Lol not only did Marx and Brown coexisted in the same time period, but Brown has expressed his interest in socialism and anti capitalism. Does this loser think every slave Brown worked with was a devout Christian?

      Lenin would have said “tighten the interest rates because the economy needs healthy bank reserves” if you ask me.
