also this quote from an actual principled anti-slavery person:
I am quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.
- John Brown
Charlie kirk has been one of the most prominent stochastic terrorism promoters on the US for the last years, it’s very ironic he got whacked by a product of that. I personally believe in accountability in rhetoric, if your rhetoric has intent to damage other people, you better be ready for the heat. This wasn’t a guy saying edgy shit to his friend, this guy had a platform that reached hundreds of millions of people, the heinous stuff he advocated for wasn’t said in a vacuum.
