Margaret Killjoy

Yeah, exactly. She talked all the time about the necessity of mortifying the flesh, which is normally about like killing the urge to sin. But she seemed to want to kill. That was part of her way of understanding that particular doctrine. Around 1920, she attacked a young woman with a knife, cutting the woman's face and hands. And so she spent two years in an asylum.

And I don't know enough about that attack to know like if there's any motivation beyond something about how she wanted to like replicate the sacrifice of so-and-so in the Bible or whatever.

When she got out, she moved to a convent in Rome. I believe this was kind of a like, yeah, you're like super rich though. So you can go be in this convent. Her friends thought to themselves, she's probably going to kill somebody. Maybe the Pope. But they didn't try to stop her, which is really funny because they're probably all Irish Catholics. And they're just like, eh, whatever.

Then in 1924, when Giacomo was murdered, the guy murdered to death with a carpenter's file. Yeah. She was heartbroken because she was a Catholic socialist, right? And so she decided to like revenge that killing by shooting herself in the chest. The bullet bounced off her ribs and she survived.

And if you want to survive in the world that's coming, you need to buy literally everything that is advertised on this show. It is the only way to survive, I believe. It's not a guarantee. But here's ads. And we're back. Mussolini, at this point, God, I read a whole bunch of New York Times articles and other newspaper articles from this time, and they're all like, Mussolini's great.

We all like Mussolini because he's stopping the Bolsheviks, you know? Mussolini was being courted by the Western world. The King of England awarded him the Order of the Bath, which is not an order to take a bath, unfortunately, but instead, a knighthood. And Violet Gibson decided that the way to glorify God was to assassinate Mussolini.

So she showed up at one of his talks in 1926 with a revolver and a rock. The rock was to break his windshield if necessary, which later assassins would have been more successful if they had also brought a rock. The modern mind can't really understand her motive, I think, because her motive was primarily religious, but it was also political.
