Margaret Killjoy

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.

She did it to, quote, glorify God, and an angel kept her arm steady. I told this story to a Catholic anarchist friend of mine whose response was basically like, oh, those Irish and their angels. Mussolini turned his head at the last minute. She grazed his nose. She tried to fire again, but the gun jammed. And I've read that what he yelled at the time that he was shot was fancy a woman.

But that might have been later. He told the crowd, don't be afraid. This is a mere trifle. And then like later he went on this rant about how he's totally down to die violently as long as like a good glorious death. But if he's like killed by an old lady, he just can't handle it. Which is why I wish Violet had succeeded over everyone else. Alas. Yeah.

The crowd caught her and beat her, and she was whisked away by the cops and declared insane. People said that she was paranoid, and that was why she tried to kill him, because she was paranoid. I hate to break it to the people of back then, she was correct about this particular thing. She spent the rest of her life in various institutions.

She wrote letter after letter pleading to be set free, but those letters were never sent. Because, you know, women are crazy, right? That's my, that's a sarcastic remark.

People probably caught on to that. She told people that her mood controlled the weather. Okay, well, did it? If she'd killed Mussolini, she would have stopped like three million deaths. Maybe her moods, like I want to kill Mussolini, have a pretty major impact. Yeah, I mean, look, I can't prove that she's wrong. Yeah.

It reminds me of when I covered Joan of Arc on this show, where people are like, oh, feminist icon, except, you know, obviously she was just crazy with her visions from God. And it's just that people were conceiving of reality in different ways than we conceive of it now. And I think that people have a hard time wrapping their heads around that. She died in 1956 at the age of 79.

She did outlive Mussolini. No family members came to her funeral. History has vindicated her and there's now a plaque for her on her childhood home in Dublin that describes her accurately as a committed anti-fascist. And it was articles about this from like right-wing Irish people is how I learned about how she would run around and stab people and things like that.
