"There are good slavemasters and bad slaves so I agree with both sides. How about we try a humanitarian pause where all the slaves are freed 4 hours a day?" - John Brown
"I, John Brown am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. careful manipulation of interest rates" -- Modern John Brown apparently
Slavery is none other than the most barbarous, unprovoked and unjustifiable war of one portion of its citizens against another portion, the only conditions of which are perpetual imprisonment and hopeless servitude, or absolute extermination. I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land can never be purged away but with blood.
Wait, I’m losing my twitter stan, let me start over.
I, John Brown, remain baffled that anyone who isn’t a slaver or a slave can look at this conflict and feel so strongly that one side’s cause is so just and the other’s so wicked that it demands everyone take the same, extremely strong position.
I remain baffled that anyone who isn’t a white supremacist or a black supremacist can look at this conflict and feel so strongly that one side’s cause is so just and the other side’s so wicked that it demands everyone take the same, extremely strong position. Anyone who would take an extreme stance like “gather a militia of men and go on a righteous but perhaps doomed struggle for freedom and equality” against one side is crazy!
Maybe the account is run by a big Ethan Hawke fan and typically sanctimonious lib troll. Ethan Hawke played John Brown in the October-November 2020 miniseries The Good Lord Bird. The account was made in December, 2020.
In any case - they aren't even trying that hard. In a recent tweet - they quote themself.
This remains a problem
It's unfortunate that so many leftists are just dumb as fucking bricks.
Like, if guys like this are such hot shit why don't they tell me their fancy alternative opinion that's nuanced yet useful against my political enemies
John Brown actually knew an Athiest well. John Ingersoll. I wonder what sort of view The Great Agnostic had of his acquaintance?
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.
It strikes me as obvious satire. The person is saying that it's obvious if third parties with no skin in the game can clearly see that one side, like Israel, is wrong because of their brutal oppression and killing then it should be self-evident that side is the bad guy. It's worded in such a silly way as to indicate it's nature as well.
EDIT: Well, I don't have a twitter account so I can't see any of the replies where they defend their shitty ideas so I stand corrected.
