People like John Brown are the reason change happens. People who sacrifice everything they have to make a change to society.

This reminded me of a story I was reading awhile back. Haven't read it for awhile, so not sure how it is these days, but it was a good read at the time. Basic premise- John Brown isekai. He does well... John Brown things when he finds out that slavery is present. https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/57505/his-soul-is-marching-on-to-another-world-or-the

Yeah, I was about to mention that as well. Such a refreshingly different isekai concept.

Two things I know are
1. there should be statues of John Brown all over the US (or one big one, visible from both coasts...you heard me) and
2. the track "John Brown" by Masters of Reality shreds if you're like me & into that high-desert rock (a la Kyuss or QotSA)

If they make a movie about this guy he needs to be played by Terry O'Quinn

They made a tv show about him with Ethan Hawke.

John Brown is a hero that children should learn about and grow up admiring, not the "non-violence" nonsense they are indoctrinated with instead. Non-violence in the face of genocide is 100% supporting genocide.
ImJustHereAtThisPoint
Yeah but the system fuggen hated John Brown despite him being the exact patriot they pretend to embody. Patriots stand up for their neighbors. "Patriots" do what they're told.

So MLK was just a moron or is it you? Hmmm no way to know 🤣. Say hi to the feds for me 👋

Obvious troll is obvious.

I mean, MLK was a great figure, but he fought against oppression, segregation, inequality, ect... not genocide. Peaceful protest can only do so much, hence why Nelson Mandela's resistance shifted from a non-violent to a violent one.

I just finished watching Good Lord Bird today and went and picked up John Brown’s biography at the library. Gonna do me a learning

"Patriotic Treason" is a great one if you are interested in more (and that's not the book you got haha)

I’m interested in revolutionaries

lol why did my comment get downvoted so fast? Was it offensive?
EMHPicardo
You said the most offensive word: library.

Racists are big mad.

Good Lord Bird was terrific! There is a TV series of it, but I've never seen it. I've never read a book solely about Brown, but he obviously features in general Civil War histories. I did just read the Battle Cry of Freedom, which was phenomenal.

Also, Midnight Rising by Tony Horwitz has been on my radar for years. I've read some other stuff by him, and now that I think of it, I'm ordering it tonight, lol.
EmployedEnglishMajor
Patriotic Treason, high high recommend.
DonoraSmogger
I'm there, thank you.
