I find the Lincoln question to be of great utility as an alternative test for NPC detection.
That anarchist video is full of distortions... crazy stuff.
I like Abraham Lincoln. He was a highly intelligent man who could captivate his audience with his anti-slavery, anti-war messages as well as freedom for everyone on Earth.
As a matter of fact there is a lost speech where Lincoln so mesmerized his audience the reporters forgot to take notes.
Lincoln was a tyrant. He ended Federalism and ushered in Statism and Empire.
Ask yourself why the Lincoln monument depicts him sitting with his arms on a stack of facses? I'll let you figure that one out.

You'll need to point them out in order for me to change my mind about Lincoln. You're saying there's "crazy stuff", point out those, or I cannot reevaluate my opinion.

Lincoln in his inaugural address said he would support the Crittenden Compromise which would have been the 13th amendment which would have permanently made slavery legal constitutionally, provided the South would not succeed. The SOUTH rejected this, because the civil war wasn't over slavery, it was over taxation.

He placed editors of newspapers that opposed him in jail. He was a tyrant.

Seriously? Skull and Bones? They are a criminal syndicate. Secret Societies are secret, because they are criminal organizations, without exception.
Skull & Bones is not secret anymore. Alphonzo Taft founded Skull & Bones in 1832 along with William Huntington Russell of China's optimum war fame. John Kerry is Skull and Bones class of 1966 and George Bush Skull & Bones class of 1968, G.H.W Bush class of 1948, Prescott Bush who funded Hitler is Skull & Bones class of 1917.

Lincoln was not a tyrant and I have studied him for 50 years. All he ever wanted was for all people to live a free life. Jefferson Davis was the warmongering slave owning tyrant.
Lincoln was a scammer. When he was running for political office, he'd set up a rag newspaper to print outrageous lies about his political opponent and influence the election (sound familiar?). After the election, the paper would fold. He was a shameless yellow journalist and propagandist - nothing was off-limits to further his political aims.
Geze, you Lincoln hagiographers have this tool called the intarwebs to verify or disprove everything that richwicks has said. What I mentioned above was gleaned from IIRC an old issue of American Heritage (before Forbes bought it).
Want to draw back the curtain? Spend a little time reading, among other things, the Unz Review (https://www.unz.com/). This guy has been scanning and archiving media articles encompassing the past 100+ years - these are original sources.
Something, something . . . a horse to water . . .

Let's take your claims about Lincoln being a tyrant one issue at a time.
The Corwin Amendment that Lincoln offered to the Southern Confederates would have permanently established the ability of States to determine their own domestic institutions. Utah would have been able to keep their multiple wives... the slave states would have been able to keep their slaves. So what? People are slaves today to the IRS.

The Secret Origins of Skull & Bones
The Russell Trust Association is the business name for the New Haven, Connecticut-based Skull and Bones society, incorporated in 1856.[1]
The Russell Trust was incorporated by William Huntington Russell as its president, and Daniel Coit Gilman as its first treasurer. Gilman later went on to become president of the University of California, Berkeley and Johns Hopkins University before leaving to become the first president of the Carnegie Foundation. Gilman also served as one of the first board members of the Russell Sage Foundation.
In 1943, by special act of the Connecticut state legislature, its trustees were granted an exemption from filing corporate reports with the Secretary of State, which is normally a requirement.

Realize we can all be propagandized.
What was the aim of the civil war? Do you think the North fought against the South to free a bunch of "niggers"? EVERYBODY was a racist back then, including Lincoln. Why did Lincoln offer to make slavery permanent provided the South didn't withdraw? Why were there border states that had slavery? Why wasn't the end of slavery declared BEFORE the war if that was the purpose of the war?
The war was over taxation from a predatory banking system.
The reason that so many things "don't make sense", is you're being fed a bunch of propaganda. History is SUPER complicated, when you're taking lies as truth. Everything is simple, it's about power and control. History is actually pretty easy to u...

What do you make of that?

Dear Sirs:
A Mr. John Sherman has written us from a town in Ohio, U.S.A., as to the profit that may be made in the National Banking business, under a recent act of your Congress; a copy of this act accompanies this letter.
Apparently this act has been drawn up on the plan formulated here by the British Bankers Association, and by that Association recommended to our American friends, as one that if enacted into law, would prove highly profitable to the banking fraternity throughout the world.
Mr. Sherman declares that there has never been such an opportunity for capitalists to accumulate money as that presented by this act. It gives the National Bank almost complete control of the National finance.
“The few who understand the system,” he says, “will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantages that ...
No study of Lincoln would be complete without reading one of Thomas DiLorenzo's books on the subject. His hatred of the man is a good balance to the 99% positive coverage in print.
Lincoln was clearly of high intellect but, IMO, a bit of a sociopath and a benefactor to the railroads and banks. It is very hard to catch him in a lie because he was so good at parsing words. Probably one of the most clever orators to ever take the stage in this country (Franklin may have been in the same league).
He absolutely did things that dictators do (ex. closing hundreds of newspapers and suspending habeas corpus for his enemies), but that didn't make him a dictator. He said he would have done anything - ANY.THING. - to preserve the union and he used slavery as a tool but held no moral high ground on the subject. Typical of sociopaths he felt his ends justified any means. At the same time I do not think he held aspirations of a lifetime presidency. For all of his flaws ...

When Andrew Jackson "Killed the Banks" what he killed was the Second National Bank ... America's National Bank which then gave private banking free run to destroy the "American System" AmericanSystemNow.com. Lincoln tried to revive the America's National Bank, and the "American System" but was usurped by London Bankers and the British Monarchy during America's Civil War ... then they killed him.

The civil wasn't about slavery, it was about taxation - but slavery was part of that since it underpinned many parts of the economy.
When slaves were freed, they were left jobless. Whites wouldn't hire them, and the plantations were basically destroyed - more than a million starved. We are all taught a load of propaganda about the era.
Lincoln really was a tyrant. It's a pity he wasn't murdered much earlier in his presidency. Slavery, for blacks was ended as a result of the Civil War, but it was unnecessary. The war happened because of economic predation on the South.
