    It's hilarious hearing the pro-slavery people cry foul when John Brown used violence against them. They used violence to get their way for years opposing abolitionists. Bullies will always be extreme hypocrites. As for the debate whether John Brown's actions were justified or not, you have to remember the reality of the situation in America. Violence and intimidation were already used by pro-slavery groups. As the video said, a pro-slavery US Congressman beat a US Senator with cane in the US Capitol building over his abolitionist remarks. If that was happening in the halls of power, imagine what was happening at street level? Violence was already present, it's just that John Brown was the first abolitionist to decide to use the same tactics to push his abolitionist agenda. Brown was right in that the pro-slavery crowd already had thrown down the gauntlet and were no longer innocent.

    Think about back In the 19th century when killing was more public. People would have duels and it wasn’t uncommon for people to live these duels because guns were pretty awful back then but it’s a part of our history.

    Augustus was so overrated. Most of his success can be attributed to JC greatness, Lepidus appathetic attitude to power and want to live to an old age, and Marc Antony's stupidity. Then you can attribute whatever is left of his accomplishments to Agrippa 😂

    I don't believe the Japanese would have surrendered without the use of the atomic bomb. With the brainwashing by their own govt. re: what would happen if captured, citizens were killing themselves. Not to mention kamakazi pilots. I think they would have fought to the bitter end, despite casualties on both sides. Not saying the A bomb was the answer, but it ended the war quickly.

    Funny aint it? How hes still demonized for pointing it out while in the present day US theres no longer a stance of hiding it. Hollywood just comes out and tells you theyre going to destroy society and the nuclear family. McCarthy had the gonads to actually say it back then and attempt to head off what we ended up with in our days now. He failed because the US has been destroyed by the same people McCarthy pointed to.
