Things done changed on this side
you think John Brown is cool? Well, one time during Bleeding Kansas, in retaliation for some slavers killing some abolitionists, John Brown and his crew pulled up to the slaver’s house, dragged the offenders out of their homes, and hacked them to pieces with swords.
Still think he’s cool now?
of course
So much for the tolerant left

Wow, no. Now I think he is amazing.
You have upvoted problematic content warning yada yada
My take: The difference is this is a statement from freed black man and former slave basically saying a white guy was cooler than them, so redditors like it.
Without knowing anything else, he sounds like a great fellow.
“During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred and the most unscrupulous campaigns of lies and slander. After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a certain extent for the “consolation” of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it.”
Mandela and MLK Jr are the ones where this is the most obvious. Completely sanitised for high school history class consumption.
Mexican history with Emiliano Zapata.
well, yeah, it was “kill all slave owners” that pissed spez of. my man wants to own slaves so it felt like a personal attack.

They nuked the sub because they were getting rid of the donald too in an attempt to appear enlightened tech centrists.
the_donald had a moderator tantrum and there hadn’t been any posts for several months, they had moved to donald.win
banning the_donald was cover for banning CTH
I know why they did it, the John Brown thing is just an incredibly funny scenario
you see, it’s only bad when commies do it
I just know in my heart that John Brown would have supported Ukraine. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦
Learning that on my banjo, rn. It’s slow work, I’ll be honest.
