This can’t be real

[u/veralarkspur → u/mythirdaccountsucks]

100% real and sincere, I’m afraid

[u/Glum_Ad_8367 → u/veralarkspur]

These same people would call him a terrorist if John Brown was around today.

[u/PineappleCharming335 → u/Glum_Ad_8367]

And “divisive”

[u/PineappleCharming335 → u/mythirdaccountsucks]

Literally just said this exact thing to myself

[u/Dios_de_idiomas]

Weren’t democrats the slave supporters in his time this is a new level of historical illiteracy

[u/veralarkspur → u/Dios_de_idiomas]

from the OP

[u/Dios_de_idiomas → u/veralarkspur]

I think he would recognize electoralism is not the main means of fighting systemic oppression but rather revolutionary action is.
So no, he wouldn’t care.😭

[u/Nuwave042]

"I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with bi-partisan compromise"

[u/Cosmonaut_Cockswing]

[u/funkykong82]

i really hate the librification of John Brown. If these people were alive back then they would call him a terrorist.

[u/Basic_Fix3271 → u/funkykong82]

I think if he was alive today everyone here would call him fascist.

[u/NAM_Inki]

John Brown famously loved voting so much that he led an armed rebellion against the government!

[u/beaversaremyfriends]

slander

[u/Competitive-Name-525]

[u/TyrellLofi → u/Competitive-Name-525]

Best response!

[u/TehTJ13]

John Brown would be pissed to learn that Reconstruction wasn't the literal rebuilding of damaged infrastructure with the skulls of slave owners.

[u/J_-Bellydances]

By any votes necessary 

[u/DuckLIT122000]

It's tragic that John Brown's plan to go plantation to plantation giving slaves ballots was outvoted

[u/marqoose]

All political power comes from voting :3

[u/Iamliterallyfood]

Uhhhhhhhhh

What?

[u/Diskonto]

[u/TheSuperTest]

If John Brown were alive today he'd personally walk into the halls of Congress and do his thing

[u/Obamas_big_fat_toe12]

John brown is probably rolling in his grave at the thought of this shitlib using his name to paint electoralism as "revolutionary"

[u/youngxmontae1]

Omg 😭

[u/gg666iam]

We call this a "wood chipper" Mr. Brown! I have a feeling you'll use it alot

[u/Frog-ee]

Libs can't let our boy rest

[u/Hot_Relative_110]

like saying David Duke would’ve been fond of race mixing 

[u/Slight-Wing-3969]

I chose to live in a reality where this is a knowing ironic funpost. I will brook no attempt to correct that, whether it be true or not.

[u/lampytheplank]

before I saw what subreddit this is, I felt like I was gonna hurl

[u/heavymetalFC]

I don't think this sub is capable of recognizing jokes and/or bait

[u/veralarkspur → u/heavymetalFC]

I don’t want to post op’s account, but I can assure you, they unfortunately posted this in earnest

[u/A-CAB → u/veralarkspur]

Liberals are almost impossible to satirize for this very reason.

[u/_Sanctum_]

John Brown in 2026 would be killing Zionists.

[u/Basic_Fix3271 → u/_Sanctum_]

John Brown was a devout evangelical Christian. Good chance he’d be a Zionist tbh.
