"Modern John Brown would be Pete Buttigieg" is like some type of perverse blasphemy I don't quite know how to digest. These tweets are genuine evil.
John Brown started my path towards being a Communist
I read what he did, how he so strongly understood the evil of slavery that he went out and did something about it, and that resonated with me
Of course, the people who would tell me, "Oh, he had the right idea, but he shouldn't have killed people" only strengthened my respect for him, because I knew they were just the same mealy-mouthed cowards who would said they stood against slavery but would do nothing to actually dismantle the system that permitted it
It is genuinely one of the most disrespectful things I've ever heard said about the man.

Truly perverted shit
John Brown didn't conditionally advocate for people in bondage if they were christian, this person is completely thoughtless.
John Brown was really religious-->really religious people hate non-believers (which isn't even generally true) but it's demonstrably untrue in Brown's case with even a cursory knowledge of his life
I posted this further up but John Ingersoll was the most famous atheist of the day and a friend of Brown and said this
Ah yes, of everyone in society to hate, it would be the communists for atheism and not the monstrous war machine that scours a million lives a decade and robs the global South of its resources every time its gaze falls upon a poor, barely defend brown country like the eye of Sauron. Yes, I'm sure he'd be an insufferable terminally online social media lib, rather than the one who shoots the insufferable terminally online social media lib.
"Finance imperialists are soulless and satanic, every church is just a temporarily embarrassed Jeffrey Epstein pagan temple" this is atheism, I am very smart!
This is what happens when literally the only thing you know about John Brown was he was against slavery
he's gonna be real shocked to learn the religious views of like half of all communist movements in the Americas
He's a radlib
Finding out a cucumber is a fruit would shock him
frankly that's shocking to me. i disagree.
botanically speaking pumpkins are a type of berry
you're fucking with me. i'm being fucked with.

africa is closer to maine than to florida
I feel like there should be a word for realizing the world is 3D is unique ways. I've expressed this feeling when moving furniture, when doing engineering designing, and a few others, and now with regards to geography. It's this mindblowing feeling that the 2D simplifications we often use and are so used to just remove so much possibility when you reach the edge of what's possible. Draw a line on a map and this seems ridiculous but imagine a sphere and it becomes readily apparent. Try to move a cabinet through a door without utilizing all 3 angles and it becomes apparent. Dimensional readjustment or something
Seems pretty dialectical actually in some way I can't put my finger on
there's more trees on earth than there are stars in the galaxy
sharks are older than the north star
honestly i'd think they'd have more wrinkles
Sharks are older than trees.
John Brown would be jerking it to Cuba
Lol not only did Marx and Brown coexisted in the same time period, but Brown has expressed his interest in socialism and anti capitalism. Does this loser think every slave Brown worked with was a devout Christian?
Lenin would have said “tighten the interest rates because the economy needs healthy bank reserves” if you ask me.
But we already had a modern attempt at John Brown :
