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.

However, you're a moron and wrong since Europe at the time already considered slavery barbaric and disgusting, hence the gradual abolition of such practice. Europe has gone through a century of enlightenment thought and influence, and was seeing a reaffirmation of these ideas with the spread of anarchism and socialism.

      Freedom is something america is built upon. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion. Slavery was a mark upon Americas virtues, John Brown attempting to create true freedom amongst Americans is American as fuck.

Yes, the U.S was founded upon an evil ideology, that is, a racist white supremacist one.

    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.

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.

      I wonder if you'd say the same about the antifascist partisans during world war two.
      Or what's your opinion of the Greek rebels in the Greek rebellion?
      Here's the thing, legality doesn't mean moral.
      Opposing a genocidal, enslaving regime by any means necessary and sacrificing yourself in the process is heroic.
