“Terrorist” is such a subjective term. The most common definition, “violence pursued in the name of a political goal” , can be used to describe any state in human history. Also he was fighting against literal slavery so I’d put him in the “hero” category
@@communisttrash8590 The slavers should be put in prison, not killed. Who was he and who are you to decide who gets to live and who gets to die? This way of thinking is no better than what the slavers themselves were thinking. Killing people is bad for any reason. Ever heard of "violence is never the answer"? I guess you're the kind of person who would gas prisoners huh. Attacking and killing anyone, no matter the intent, is still murder and should be punished. The road to hell is paved with good intentions afterall. Of course this guy had good intentions, the problem is he had an extremely poor execution.

Of course, in war killing is a must, it's different when you have to kill so you don't get killed, but I never said I liked war. Surprisingly, most of the Wehrmacht was comprised regular German citizens, forcefully conscripted. No different from the Allied soldiers. Yes, I know it's shocking but in war there's never a black and white, nothing is as simple as "shoot Germans cuz they evil and we are pure and always good". It was the officials who made these orders, but the vast majority of the soldiers who were fighting on the front were simple men, on both sides. They didn't deserve to die because of the agressive expansionism of the regime that lead them.

@@Illumirage slavery is bad in all cases, whether its in Africa or America. I was specifically talking about American slavery because that was relevant to the video.
"If I must mingle my blood with the blood of my sons and the millions in this slave country who's rights are disregarded by cruel and unjust enactments, let it be done" John Brown's final uttered statement at his sentencing.
@kucingcat8687 fighting for justice? You aren't the law, nor was john. Violence for a political ends is literal terrorism. So i guess you're a domestic terrorist.
Holy shit, the Hero's journey applied to a real life story of someones existence. I never thought I'd hear a story that so perfectly sounds like it could be an extension of Oedipus. He started with a heros heart, wanting his whole life to free slaves. His tragic flaw was a lack of knowledge, or of deeper thinking towards the results of his actions. He knew not what he did, but what he wanted to do. His Superego was so large it drowned out the voices of his ego and ID. That is to say his moral compass was so strong, he couldn't keep touch with the reality of the outcomes of his actions, and clearly cared little for his own well being, seeking only to do what felt right to him.
Because Kansas, I learned a lot about him in school and visit that mural in Topeka of John Brown and his awesome beard, he believed that as he went around freeing slaves they would join him till he could basically win a civil war on his own.
I would say he was an anti-hero. And if you line everything up: Insane, causing chaos and violence to "the bad guys", and even horiness, this guy was basically a 19th century Deadpool.
He did not seem insane to me at all, he seemed the sane man. Injustice all around him, unimaginable cruelty, your fellow man chained, their children chained. I would argue he is not an anti-hero at all, he's a rough around the edges hero. Bit rude, bit crude, but the fire of justice refusing to blaze out within him. His actions read not of insanity, but bravery and a refusal to live by anything but his principles. There is nothing super anti-hero about him.
@@TerranceDaBuddha No dude, a hero has heroic qualities. Having 13 babies with a 16 year old and calling your son a coward seconds before he dies is not a heroic quality. Don't make a John Brown personality cult. He did some based things and some shit things.
Somewhat disappointed that it wasn't Hadrian, whose birthday was on the day this video was uploaded, but this is pretty good. Edit: After watching the video, I can say that JB was perhaps the most based man in American history.
For the people concerned about him marrying such a young woman...people didn't live long back then and a woman marrying in her 30s, which is the norm now, would have been seen as very strange. I know someone will come along and say "that doesn't justify it" but you're using presentism and again ignoring the fact that people died young, and you tried to have as many kids as you could before it got more dangerous to your body to do so. Yeah it sucks, but people had to adapt. I in no way think that sort of thing should happen nowadays. Our healthcare is much better and we also know that a woman's pelvis isn't fully stable until your late teens early 20s.

@@cebonvieuxjack I could be wrong, but I think Republican Ideals started shifting slowly Between Ulysses S. Grant’s Presidency or right after his Presidency.
theres a small error here, Brown had stopped and even boarded the train. According to the conductors later testimony, they were held by Brown for several hours before he let them go and continue on their route.
This feels like a clear example where violent fighting against a democratically chosen policy is justified because of how unjust the system of slavery was.

@jshowa o Social change no matter how well intended has no chance at success if it's not backed by the people after all. That's why it's usually a slow progress or a violent one.
@@dickwellington8578 no, slavery wasn't a "mark upon American virtues", the fact of the matter is the founding fathers prolly only view white men as the only ones that deserves liberty and equality, since they themselves were rascist slaveowners. Yes, the U.S was founded upon an evil ideology, that is, a racist white supremacist one. And for Americans, you guys must acknowledge this dark past and current reality, as a part of being humble, and so that you'll strive to correct what your forefathers got wrong

@@insertnamehere1258 yeah it was. Killing someone is worse than slavery.
Holy shit, the Hero's journey applied to a real life story of someones existence. I never thought I'd hear a story that so perfectly sounds like it could be an extension of
Oedipus. He started with a heros heart, wanting his whole life to free slaves. His tragic flaw was a lack of knowledge, or of deeper thinking towards the results of his actions. He knew not what he did, but what he wanted to do. His Superego was so large it drowned out the voices of his ego and ID. That is to say his moral compass was so strong, he couldn't keep touch with the reality of the outcomes of his actions, and clearly cared little for his own well being, seeking only to do what felt right to him.
And he is remembered, respected and loved as a Martyr.
@@365handle by unhinged antifa domestic terrorists and hard drug users in Portland
Because Kansas, I learned a lot about him in school and visit that mural in Topeka of John Brown and his awesome beard, he believed that as he went around freeing slaves they would join him till he could basically win a civil war on his own.
The worst thing he ever did was die before killing more slavers.
Yes, in Africa
@Illumirage well if he was fighting slavery in Africa we’d call him a African hero, not a American one
I would say he was an anti-hero. And if you line everything up: Insane, causing chaos and violence to "the bad guys", and even horiness, this guy was basically a 19th century Deadpool.
No he just was a hero
@@TerranceDaBuddha an anti-hero is a hero but they still bad things to achieve good. A chaotic good, if you will.
He did not seem insane to me at all, he seemed the sane man. Injustice all around him, unimaginable cruelty, your fellow man chained, their children chained.
I would argue he is not an anti-hero at all, he's a rough around the edges hero. Bit rude, bit crude, but the fire of justice refusing to blaze out within him. His actions read not of insanity, but bravery and a refusal to live by anything but his principles.
There is nothing super anti-hero about him.
@@TerranceDaBuddha No dude, a hero has heroic qualities. Having 13 babies with a 16 year old and calling your son a coward seconds before he dies is not a heroic quality. Don't make a John Brown personality cult. He did some based things and some shit things.

Pacifism is only effective when the situation is non violent. Slavery was war. John Browns raid was defensive.
Somewhat disappointed that it wasn't Hadrian, whose birthday was on the day this video was uploaded, but this is pretty good.
Edit: After watching the video, I can say that JB was perhaps the most based man in American history.
Agreed.
John Browns Body Lies Molden in the Grave
For the people concerned about him marrying such a young woman...people didn't live long back then and a woman marrying in her 30s, which is the norm now, would have been seen as very strange. I know someone will come along and say "that doesn't justify it" but you're using presentism and again ignoring the fact that people died young, and you tried to have as many kids as you could before it got more dangerous to your body to do so. Yeah it sucks, but people had to adapt. I in no way think that sort of thing should happen nowadays. Our healthcare is much better and we also know that a woman's pelvis isn't fully stable until your late teens early 20s.
Ok ped doe
At first I though JB was crazy. But now I know better.
No vigilantism is illegal. The guy was a domestic terrorist.

@@alexanderishere6205 I'm not for terrorism, so. If you're angry with a country declare war on that country and fight them face to face. Terrorism = cowardice.
Two types of terrorism is bad
1: Dogmatic ones
2: Forcing people to your way of life without it being the will of a revolution or the people
But as far as John Brown, fighting to free people to exist. I consider a flat out hero!
in October 1859, one abolitionist decided to single handily takedown by force. Who would be crazy enough to attempt such a thing? Ah it's our good friend john brown
- oversimplified
He was a hero and he was also right, much blood was shed for our freedom in the land of the free shortly after his death

theres a small error here, Brown had stopped and even boarded the train. According to the conductors later testimony, they were held by Brown for several hours before he let them go and continue on their route.
This feels like a clear example where violent fighting against a democratically chosen policy is justified because of how unjust the system of slavery was.

@@firemonkey0291 Sure but against the concept of the dehumanising humiliating evils of chattel slavery? I think that is more justified.
