            Fun fact, John Brown had chronic back pain from carrying around the weight of his massive balls.

            Actual fact: Americans don't learn about John Brown because John Brown's existence highlights a lot of ugly truths about American history, the American people at the time, and how corrupted the core of the American experiment really is.

              Why go with the inferior product?

              John Brown: This is the original Canadian design of the FN FAL. Weep at perfection.

                    Harpers Ferry, WV is one of the most important National Parks in the entire country because of the history it contains. Highly recommend every American make the trek at some point in their lives.

                      Behind the Bastards did an episode on John Brown for the Christmas anti-Bastard episode a few years ago, definitely worth a listen.

                        i grew up in Virginia and we had an entire year in our standards of learning dedicated to learning about Nat Turner and John Brown. we might not anymore after that parents' rights group in loudoun county brought the phrase "critical race theory" to the national table

                                Nat Turner was a John Henry mother fucker. Need to give him a god damn mini gun.

                                Self evident truths go "braaaaaaaat"!

                                  You can watch the show or read the book The Good Lord Bird for a fictionalization of his life, on my list of to-watch and to-read for sure. Anyone have any critical reviews on those as to accuracy?

                                      Fun fact, John Brown had chronic back pain from carrying around the weight of his massive balls.

                                        I live in a fairly blue state which tends to lean into highlighting the atrocities of the south during the Civil War (and all other eras to be frank) and I never learned about John brown until after high school

                                          Actual fact: many Americans do learn about John brown in school, some of us even learned about Nat Turner. It's downright common to learn about the Bloody Kansas affair as it was a major inciting incident of our civil war.

                                          I wouldn't be surprised though if I only learned so much about this because I grew up in a northern state that was one of the primary hotbeds of militant abolitionism (Ohio). We were home to Brown, Grant, and Sherman. We also learned that the fugitive slave act was an act of outright southern aggression on our right to free our fellow humans from their barbarous cruelty. Unfortunately ths state's filled with dipshits flying the slavers' rag these days talking about a heritage that certainly wasn't ours.
