Nelson Mandela is a good historical figure to bring up in this context. Liberals love him for his rehabilitated image as a peace negotiator, but he didn’t go to prison for writing letters to the editor.
They love crowing on about Nelson Mandela in prison but always without a single murmur about what he was unjustly imprisoned for
I exposed one Redditor as a collaborator during the Apartheid in South Africa because I immediately went for the carotid artery with the "historical context"
Nelson Mandela was literally considered a terrorist by the US government until 2008
If they had any integrity they still would.
They repeatedly offered to release him from jail in exchange for denouncing socialism. He did no such thing. He also reached a point where he refused to condemn violent rebellion because the non-violence wasn’t getting the goods. What liberals unknowingly worship him for, in their civility fetishism, is his acts of public reconciliation with the colonizers. Would have been good to get that post-apartheid wealth redistribution instead but what’s done is done.
The lesson is, and always will be, to get the goods first.
