And like Lawrence of Arabia, she's crazy as shit. But people use this to invalidate and claim that her action wasn't political or thought out. And that's what I want to argue against. But I can't argue against her being crazy as shit. And I'm going to tell you why. But... She grew up rich as hell.

I am going to make the case that she did it because she was a politically committed Catholic socialist who wanted to do right by God and people by killing a man who went on to be responsible for millions of deaths, who was also crazy. She was always esoteric. She was raised Protestant, right? Her mother became a Christian scientist, and so she herself experimented with Christian science.

The craziest thing she did, which is left out of the leftist accounts of her story, but it's included in the right-wing accounts of her story that are, like, demonizing her. But they're verifiable.
