also this quote from an actual principled anti-slavery person:

I am quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.

Charlie kirk has been one of the most prominent stochastic terrorism promoters on the US for the last years, it's very ironic he got whacked by a product of that. I personally believe in accountability in rhetoric, if your rhetoric has intent to damage other people, you better be ready for the heat. This wasn't a guy saying edgy shit to his friend, this guy had a platform that reached hundreds of millions of people, the heinous stuff he advocated for wasn't said in a vacuum.
