John Brown is the person liberals think Lincoln was.
For any comrades who have any slight brainworms about thinking Lincoln was good, please read “Black Reconstruction in America” by W.E.B. Du Bois
Sure he was better than what followed, but that’s no high bar. He was still working to destroy radical reconstruction and went laughably soft on traitorous states.
He also had a weird fixation with shipping off all these new free people to some Caribbean island because he didn’t want to deal with them.
And his party platform was to gradually eliminate slavery by settling western states as free. You know, by genociding the people that lived there.
Another example of liberals making their heroes out to be greater than they were while pretending the radicals that made far more of an effort never existed. FDR gets the same treatment as Lincoln, as well as JFK and LBJ.

He would’ve loved post WWII
You can also add in how Grant and Lincoln were well known Indian killers
Amen.
How is Henry Kissinger still alive but this hero deceased.
Oh wait.
I would sooner take my gun and help drive you out of the country.
:narrator:
And then he did…
He is the one and only American hero
Damn all but two murdered by the state, directly or indirectly
Death to America
Shit good point, only white American hero?
Debbs

I just sorta realized that the US Civil War was within living memory still when Kissinger was born and that this exchange with John Brown is still closer to Kissinger’s birth than his death was. Like imagine some kid born today would have a similar distance to Vietnam that he did with the US Civil War.

Reminds me of how Billy the Kid felt more belonging when he was with Mexicans and Native Americans
