Is Cole Thomas Allen a quieter version of John Brown? Is there a current Christian (or even more broadly "religious") movement that will, as he wrote, not turn the other cheek because they themselves are not oppressed but are called to fight for those who are?

This is good! It is a page out of the old playbook that the Southern Poverty Law Center used in the late 80s/90s to undo the Klan. Own them! Literally.

In 2023, our team created an interactive guide to rights the Supreme Court has established — and could take away. Most rights are based in statute, but rights to same-sex marriage, search warrants and Miranda warnings are based on judicial rulings that the Supreme Court can overturn. ⤵️
