John Brown killed 50 gorillion people after eating up all the grain in Kansas with his big spoon stalin-comical-spoon JB-shining-aggro

This guy is semi-notable on Twitter. He's best known for being kicked off a somewhat successful podcast for being a creep.

History should not happen, actually. Everything should remain as it is, and any movement to liberate the oppressed people of the world must do so purely by begging at the feet of their oppressors.

And don’t beg too loudly! We wouldn’t want to disturb the people eating brunch

Unlimited death and destruction on slavers and settlers, the only fault with Nat and John Brown (RIP heroes) is they didn't finish the job

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 43 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Go back in time and give John Brown some plasma rifles and Tactical Dreadnought armor

Hi John. This is a baneblade. It's what we call a "tank" and the main gun on it shoots bolts of pure heat and light that can carve craters on the moon. Conventiently, you need about twenty guys to crew this thing. Let's start going over the operation manual.

I wouldn't celebrate Independence Day. It only came after a bloody war and created the most genocidal state in history.

Blaming revolutionaries for reactionaries' responses to their actions inevitably ignores the fact that the reactionaries were already doing and would continue to do the horrible acts in question. 200 people being lynched barely qualifies as an average Tuesday under chattel slavery, but anti-cracker-aktion here acts like it was an unexpected event that could only happen if the slaves dared to demand their freedom at gunpoint.

The Nazis would also regularly engage in mass killing of civilians in reprisal for resistance actions in the area. Most people seem to have the good sense not to condemn anti-Fascist militancy though

god i want John Brown to stop a moulderin' for five minutes and march on this guy's skull until it's kind of like a squished melon JB-shining-aggro melon-musk

I mean to be fair it's not great to celebrate October 7 since it kicked off a horrible phase of an ongoing genocide that has left tens of thousands killed and millions homeless and destitute. October 7 was necessary, a strategic masterstroke that asserted the primacy of the Palestinian Question on the global stage, a moment of pure joy when they got past that fence, but celebrated wholesale in regards to all that's happened since? Eh mixed feelings. Hard to celebrate amidst the genocide. In 100 years though? Fuck yeah bring out the paraglider cosplays.

[–] da_gay_pussy_eatah@hexbear.net 33 points 9 months ago

Celebrate the resistance, mourn the genocide. When are people liberated without also suffering tremendously?

[–] SadArtemis@hexbear.net 28 points 9 months ago (1 children)

While it's not great, I think we all have to agree October 7th was one of the most heroic undertakings in all of history. Isntreal has responded as they always have, but before the Palestinians had simply been dying in a slow, ignored fashion- intentional genocide by a thousand cuts. And with the Abrhams accords, that triumph of evil- of genocide, of Nazism and Manifest Destiny- was just within sight.

The genocide was always happening, and was always going to happen- the Palestinians understood they were "dead" already (just like the Warsaw uprising, Spartacus' rebellion, or- as an example of success- the Haitian revolution, when one considers the sheer human turnover- ie. death- of the plantation economy), October 7th brought them new life.

I'd not celebrate October 7th for the reasons you described (but if Palestinians wish to do so, more power to them). But the triumph of humanity, even in and in spite of the most direst of circumstances, is always a beautiful thing to behold.

What's more amazing was it was nic cage themed. I may have been a very ungracious winner bc they were shilling their pod hard

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 15 points 9 months ago

Cool, so does that mean Hitler is bad because look at all the white people he got killed?

Does that mean Christopher Columbus and the savagery of Europeans in history are bad because they got modern white people in trouble? I can’t be too proud of being anti-italian-action thanks to the crimes Columbus and Moussilini did. Thanks chuds. Next time you want to “help” us white people, do that by sparing us your “help”.

the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice
