The North was far to kind to the South. If only the bourgeoisie weren't in control of reconstruction.

Killing slave owners and anyone that stood for it is good actually
Truths that
doesn't want you to know.Nice to see Chapo staying true to its roots

Death to America
I know john brown faces is on the right, but who is he on the left ? Asking from a comrade
Nat Turner, who lead a slave revolt in Virginia in 1831.
amenIf I had a time machine, I would introduce John Brown to the inventions of John Browning
why the hell would you use that image to try to argue 'actually the union was bad' when it is literally the caning of Charles Sumner - an abolitionist - on the floor of the senate lol. Dude who did it was literally fined and got re-elected later that same year despite beating a senator nearly to death with a cane in front of the entire chamber - who unsurprisingly wrung their hands the entire time and barely intervened.

Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but Brooks had two other senators with him, one of them armed with a firearm, who threatened and blocked anyone who attempted to intervene
The other 96 senators could've taken them (there were probably less than 96)
Every single southern slave owner should have been put to death
Not only did they enslave millions of people, they started a brutal war to preserve that enslavement, that's genuine radical evil, and it should have been dealt with thru extreme prejudice
And since it wasn't dealt with, the US is now crawling with fascists
By firing squad
Bullets cost money and can’t be reused. Just use a heavy stick (see above).
Should have worked them to death building homes for former slaves but I'm sure they were useless laborers having never actually worked a day in their life.
Every confederate flag today is a testament to that failure to eradicate the source of the evil
Being forced to pay reparations instead of be payed reparations would have been a good start
There were more slavery sympathizers than owners IIRC. They should have also been put to death. Or at the very least, experience the same conditions as former slaves until they produce enough product for reparations.
Everything is genocide now.
Anything that upsets me is genocide. Foreign country makes decision that I don't like... genocide. McDonalds employee fucked up my order...genocide. Stubbed my toe on the coffee table...genocide. Having an uncomfortable thought...you wouldn't believe it, but also genocide.
Leaves me wondering, how do they rhetorically escalate from here when the need to actually convey a sense of moral depravity and social harm? Seems the ceiling has been reached.
This gives white supremacists far too much credit. It's more like everyone at the bottom is white, but the last two test as 10% sub-Saharan African on ancestry.com. White genocide is inevitable when you also apply the one-drop rule to disqualify people from being white, which they do, because it's virtually impossible to have successive generations keep avoiding people who are at least 0.000000001% not white. Eventually, every European outside of people living in isolated villages located at the heart of the Alps would have at least some form of non-European ancestry.
Mmm... White genocide never felt so good.
The north literally allowed the south to regain its power and keep its leaders. It was the proto-west Germany. If the north was as savage as the south fantasizes, it would’ve killed every general and politician, put John Brown on Mount Rushmore, and arrested every confederate soldier and forced them into servitude for freed slaves as per the 13th amendment.

Ain't the dude doing the beating in this image the southerner?
Yea everybody always talks about how cool it is when Senators fought on the floor but Sumner was an abolitionist who gave a speech about the evils of slavery and then that douche was mad so the next day he came up behind him and beat him with a cane while he couldn't get up from his desk.
He suffered severe brain damage and never recovered his full faculties.
No more half measures Sherman
The Civil War was literally
just an excusea good reason for the north to genocide southerners.There I fixed it for you.
it's also
They make it sound more based than it was, although there were some pretty awesome moments. It's too bad every last slaver wasn't executed and their property redistributed to the freed slaves and landless whites. If only John Brown was president during reconstruction, that's basically the only way we would have gotten the good ending
It's crazy to me that most depictions of John Brown are negative; and liberals are too scared to make a movie depicting him as a valiant hero because they're worried about what their fellow reactionaries will think.
Reactionaries though when the Nat Turner movie comes out be like 'stahp! He was brutal! He killed civvies!', but when a movie comes out romanticizing the troops in wars that saw massive civilian casualties like Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, etc. be like 'For the Imperium! Cogax Lex Nostra or whatever latin stuff idk!'
The guy beating the other one with the cane is the fucking slaver ffs!

I've always said it reconstruction could have been done easily and without losing northern support through war weariness if they had just recruited the freed slaves as the soldiers enacting martial law against former confederates. For one thing the freed slaves almost certainly would already know all the confederate sympathisers names and addresses
The north was not free of bigotry. The reason why reconstruction failed was also because northerners didn't really want to see freed slaves gain political power.
Like, they didn't want them as slaves because that was a threat to free labor, but they also didn't want them succeeding too much in the marketplace either. They really just wanted them to be free, and be out of sight, out of mind.
Having freedmen "rule" over southerners would be a step too far
A lot of Northerners didn't oppose slavery from a moralistic standpoint.
He'll Lincoln was, by definition, a white supremacist. He thought black people could never be equal to white people he just didn't think that meant they should be enslaved.
Also the emancipation proclamation was more about cutting the Souths economy off at the knees than it was about justice.
Genocidong the south is good, actually.
Unlimited death to slavers
i fuckin wish they did
sherman shouldn't have stopped at the sea
it was pretty damn wild they just had a senator brawl where they old geezers were killing each other with clubs
The context aside, American politics would be a lot more bearable if Bernie Sanders would just pull a gun out and unloads it after his retirement speech. Like a taller Danny DeVito
Mainly it was one guy -- incidentally a slaver -- doing the almost-killing. It was over an insinuated personal insult by the victim that he made during a speech in favor of abolition.
"This is what I think of your 'tHe PeN iS mIgHtIeR tHaN tHe SwOrD'! Have at thee!"
