A homeless man was also found hanging earlier that morning in Mississippi, a couple hours north. Corey Zukatis.

Fuuuuuuck this country. I'm so ready to go John Brown.
Don't make the same mistakes he did. Cultivate a revolutionary culture among the people before you attack their enslavers and be sure not to stay in the armory any longer than necessary.
You should read the John Brown Isekai... basically him dropped into a medieval slave economy, and learning from those mistakes, but still being very much not a modern leftist and true to his historical real self. The tactics are almost ours at first, and the early organising and primitive democracy is something we'd do in smaller groups and early days of revolutions, but it diverges all too soon. Still good though, a revolution story is a revolution story, and a bourgeois revolution is better than feudalism and literal chattel slavery.
Yep, read it. Good stuff!
Yeah, it really is good! I'm definitely not fully up to date on it, been a while since I checked the website, and it did get significantly less exciting when it went from "John Brown, of all people, leading guerrillas in the mountains" to "prototypal American democracy in former feudal cities". But it's still good, and tbh I don't think I'd enjoy it as much if he was too out of character and portrayed as an honest to god Maoist... as fun as those types of revolution stories are.
mississippi goddamn
