    Oh hey, it’s someone using one of the very few decent white American historical figures to redwash liberalism. Reminds me of that “Eugene V Deb’s ghost” account on Lemmy.

      Seriously, it’s an insult to John Brown. The man had some of the fewest illusions about the institutions he fought for his time.

        Had they lived back then they would have called John Brown a terrorist and shamed him for not vooooting out slavery.

    Yeah, I was getting into an argument with some liberal on another account and they said something about how the genocide started after Trump too.

    They are really desperate to whitewash Biden’s legacy.

    so wait, it became genocide while Biden was in office and weeks before Trump was inaugurated?

    Have they forgotten Trump’s ceasefire? It was brief and mostly nominal, but liberals love symbolic gestures, and by their logic it ought to make him a second Martin Luther King.
