    Why go with the inferior product?

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

        It means I signed up for the original Kbin during the original reddit migration but then the developer got overwhelmed and the site was unuseable.

        Then I signed up for the next one, supposedly run by a team to avoid such a meltdown. Then the head maintainer just took everything down and vanished.

        So now I am on mbin, which is yet another fork of kbin.

      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.

      Actual fact: Americans don’t learn about John Brown because John Brown, as 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.

        John Brown is a very well known figure in the US, and widely taught about.

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

    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.

    Me: “John Brown? May I introduce Nat Turner. Mister Turner? I’d like you to meet John Brown.”
