It kinda wasn't based because as far as I'm aware the only ones doing that were slavers coming into Kansas from Missouri to do a bit of murder. Border Ruffians et al.
Nah Jayhawkers and Brown reciprocated
Oh but if you mean acting out violent fantasies yeah that was the pro-slavers
As someone who grew up there people quite like John Brown (which they should)
Yep and we still hate Missouri for trying to force their disgusting beliefs upon us
i mean its the one state at the moment that have legalized weed states to its two sides and has cops actively trying to bust said people.
I was talking about slavery my guy. Pro-slavery Missourians murdered and intimidated anti-slavery Kansans, and voted illegally en masse in Kansas to try and force it to be a slave state.
Yes, in 2024 I have to drive to Missouri for my weed…what a hardship I face 🙄
The people of Kansas are historically based as fuck. Can't forget Eugene Debs running for president from jail. Missouri on the other hand has literally legalized murder of religious groups in its history
Is there a connection between Debs and Kansas?

A speech he gave in Girard, KS
He was in Georgia when running from behind bars.
I don’t blame people for getting the flyover states confused
Hit up world market for some good drinks and snacks after
Slave owners taunting John Brown: "Put your money where your mouth is."
John Brown: puts a broadsword where their slaver mouth is
There's this one mural of him you see everywhere, he does a t pose lol I think it might have some historical significance but as I kid I always thought it looked funny. Also Lawrence has a whole identity wrapped around being launch pad for the 'Free State', but I hear it's mainly just a bunch of drunk college kids and suburban sprawl now.
Haha yeah I was in Lawrence for ~8 years for school and there are a lot of drunk college kids (I was one), but it’s still the most left city in the entire state by far. Mostly hippy types but they’re better than the chuds!
This is probably the pic you’re thinking of:
Thats the one! Yeah Lawrence is crazy you can find some of the whitest most petite bougie crackers to commies tatted up to their ears, both born and raised from there. Sooooo many hippies, such contrast to the other cities and rural obviously, though homesteader types are sprinkled throughout the Northeast.
Yeah thankfully most of the bougie people are at least extremely progressive socially. It’s a very special place
