How about this, we'll take away the $20 genocide guy, but in exchange we'll give you a $100 landlordcide guy
This is Ben Shapino levels of ahistorical. Like, I know we like to say time is a flat circle, but shit dude, these people would group Egyptian Pharaohs into liberal and conservative categories
Really, when you think about it, you can draw a straight line from Šuppiluliuma I to Barry Goldwater
What the fuck is this article.
I get that it's an OpEd but fuck me running. Someone was paid to write this. 7 paragraphs, half of which summarize the path to putting Harriet Tubman on the 20$ bill, one single line about how she should be claimed as a Republican figure because she liked Lincoln (because the party shift doesn't real), and two paragraphs about how the pistol she has is owned by a collector now. And somehow that passed their editorial board.
No fucking wonder people turn against the media. Imagine paying a WSJ subscription just to get this on your feed.
This article is dumb, but also she did live like 200 years ago and was a Christian. She wouldn't be "conservative" but our modern concept of the word, but she probably did hold opinions on issues that would get her kicked out of the average left wing reading group. That is probably the case for like everyone born two generations ago.
This article will make you feel better about subjugating the lower class, thus squelching the last flicker of human empathy in your dark and violent brain that was protesting against your relentless pursual of profit at the expense of mankind's future.
I swear to god one of the things I want to do most in this world is shake these assholes by the shoulder and scream into their faces "TIME IS FUCKING LINEAR YOU DIPSHIT, AND I AM GOING TO KEEP SHAKING YOU UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND THAT"
And then Taylor Swift's "Shake if Off" starts playing as I shake them until their spines break in three pieces and I spend whatever time left before getting spear-tackled by a cop yelling at their lifeless eyes.
they're letting 10 year olds write opinion pieces in the WSJ? nice
