I submit to you an alternative version. (The Dickinson one, I think, is a stretch in both images. Both would probably be better with a different choice. Part of this is because of his more minor role, part is because we just don't have anywhere near as many of his writings to pick from.)

Immanuel Kant. A murderer at your door. He asks if his quarry is inside your home. The modern mind offers a benevolent lie. Kant rejects that offer, pointing to a sacred, unconditional, and absolute duty: you will tell the truth, regardless of the consequences.

Making a prediction:
History will march on. Cthulhu will continue to swim left. This is not a turning point.
It's the same sort of emotional stimulus that gets us to react again and again and again. We get angry. We throw a fit. Nothing changes, except that we are made worse by our outburst, and the system is fed by it.
I have a simple request for those unconvinced but who are willing to give this perspective seriousness: Mark this moment. Mark how strong it feels. Keep a record of it somewhere. Make a tangible, physical reminder. Attach that reminder to how strongly nearly everyone on the right is reacting. Look back at it in the future and reflect. Think about how much changed because of that anger. Consider whether it was productive or useless in retrospect. You're reacting now. Fine. But make yourself reflect later. If I'm wrong, things will look good for your emotism. If I'm correct, it will be obvious later that nothing productive resulted from it. All I'm asking is that you make yourself reflect on this later. I will do the same, and hope that I'm currently in error.

Angela Davis learned she was a descendant of Puritans who came over on the Mayflower, men who fought in the Revolutionary War — and others who owned slaves.
“I can’t believe this,” she said when Henry Louis Gates Jr., host of PBS television’s “Finding Your Roots,” revealed that she is a descendant of William Brewster, a Puritan leader who landed at Plymouth Rock in 1620 and signed the Mayflower Compact.

My last word on Charlie Kirk. It's highly probable that all his moves towards the truth were pure cynical calculation on his part in an attempt to keep the oppressed zoomer/gen alpha White males on the reservation. It's possible but unlikely that had a…
I'm not sure this is right. The left doesn't need to think he was one of us to hate him. They also hate normie cons. These are people who called John McCain "Hitler." Lol
It’s common for people on Isle Royale to leave signs out that say, “Wake me up for the lights!”
The Bostonians: So Good at Swindling That They Put the Jews Out of Business
Boston's pre-rebellion smugglers were so incredibly skilled at tricking, cheating, and lying under oath that they could out-compete even the most Jewish of merchants:

Boston's pre-rebellion smugglers were so incredibly skilled at tricking, cheating, and lying under oath that they could out-compete even the most Jewish of merchants:
This, the Voice of Honesty would have said was favorable & reasonable; but so lost to all Sense of Honor was this Set of Men, that the smuggling Trade went on as usual, untill at last, with other Coincidents, it brought on the present Rebellion. This Business was so notable a School to teach the Art of tricking & foreswearing, that it became proverbial, “that no Jew could get his Bread in Boston,” whereas in most of the other Provinces there were Numbers of those trading Israelites, & in some of them Synagogues of most elegant Structure. But, here, Circumcision availed nothing. The Uncircumcision was all in all; & it was much to be wondered at, that there were no more Apostates from Judaism, since ye. Religion of an Israelite centers in the Acquisition of Gain, in all its Forms. There were two Jews who had settled in Trade for a short Time in Boston, but they were at last obliged to vail to the superior Sagacity of their Neighbours, & turned out Bankrupts.
