In Sept. 1848, Phineas P. Gage was packing rocks with explosives and got a tamping rod shot through his brain. Although he didn’t die, he lost his left eye, part of his frontal lobe, and his good standing in society.

Gage, a railroad construction foreman, previously a moral and religious man, known for temperance, according to legend, became an immoral drunkard who was shunned by friends and family.

Gage’s tragedy catalyzed the cerebral localization debate of functional specialization and his story has become a fixture in the curricula of neurology, psychology, and neuroscience.

The educated elitists who chose to exploit his story accused him posthumously of terrible behavior.

mistreatment of wife and children (though Gage actually had neither);^[63]
inappropriate sexual behavior, promiscuity, or impaired sexuality;^[64]
lack of forethought, concern for the future, or capacity for embarrassment;^[65]
parading his self-misery, and vainglory in showing his wounds;^[65]
“gambling” himself into “emotional and reputational … bankruptcy”;^[66]
irresponsibility, untrustworthiness,^[67] aggressiveness, violence;^[68]
vagrancy, begging,^[69] drifting,^[70] drinking;^[71]
lying,^[72] brawling,^[73] bullying;^[74]
psychopathy,^[75]^[66] inability to make ethical decisions;^[76]
“[loss of] all respect for social conventions”;^[76]
acting like an “idiot” ^[76] or a “lout”;^[57]
living as a “layabout” ^[77] or a “boorish mess”;^[78]
“[alienating] almost everyone who had ever cared about him”;^[79]
dying “due to a debauch”.^[80]

None of these behaviors are mentioned by anyone who had met Gage or even his family and none of them are known to be true.

Other than a short period of time during his recovery, he was not known to have had any mental or social issues. The people who used him, defamed him, had his body exhumed, and have his skull on display for their amusement, education, and self-edification.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton – Declaration of Sentiments

Full Text: Declaration of Sentiments

Earlier that same year, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, college-educated daughter of one of the wealthiest landowners in New York, wrote the Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments. This declaration accused Gage and hundreds of millions of other working-class men she’d never met of oppressing her and failing to meet her reasonable expectations.

He has not ever permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise.
He has compelled her to submit to laws, in the formation of which she had no voice.
He has withheld her from rights which are given to the most ignorant and degraded men—both natives and foreigners.
Having deprived her of this first right as a citizen, the elective franchise, thereby leaving her without representation in the halls of legislation, he has oppressed her on all sides.
He has made her, if married, in the eye of the law, civilly dead.
He has taken from her all right in property, even to the wages she earns.
He has made her morally an irresponsible being, as she can commit many crimes with impunity, provided they be done in the presence of her husband. In the covenant of marriage, she is compelled to promise obedience to her husband, he becoming, to all intents and purposes, her master—the law giving him power to deprive her of her liberty, and to administer chastisement.
He has so framed the laws of divorce, as to what shall be the proper causes of divorce, in case of separation, to whom the guardianship of the children shall be given; as to be wholly regardless of the happiness of the women—the law, in all cases, going upon a false supposition of the supremacy of a man, and giving all power into his hands.
After depriving her of all rights as a married woman, if single and the owner of property, he has taxed her to support a government which recognizes her only when her property can be made profitable to it.
He has monopolized nearly all the profitable employments, and from those she is permitted to follow, she receives but a scanty remuneration.
He closes against her all the avenues to wealth and distinction, which he considers most honorable to himself. As a teacher of theology, medicine, or law, she is not known.
He has denied her the facilities for obtaining a thorough education—all colleges being closed against her.
He allows her in church, as well as State, but a subordinate position, claiming Apostolic authority for her exclusion from the ministry, and, with some exceptions, from any public participation in the affairs of the Church.
He has created a false public sentiment by giving to the world a different code of morals for men and women, by which moral delinquencies which exclude women from society, are not only tolerated but deemed of little account in man.
He has usurped the prerogative of Jehovah himself, claiming it as his right to assign for her a sphere of action, when that belongs to her conscience and her God.
He has endeavored, in every way that he could, to destroy her confidence in her own powers, to lessen her self-respect, and to make her willing to lead a dependent and abject life.

There is no record of Phineas P. Gage ever being able to vote or doing any of these things Stanton, 68 wealthy Women, and 32 wealthy men accused him of.

Stanton, of course, is celebrated for her dedication to Women’s suffrage, at the expense of Black men, who’d just won the franchise following the US Civil War. One of the three manservants that waited on her as a child Peter Teabout was a slave owned by her father.

Karl Marx – Communist Manifesto

Full Text: Communist Manifesto

In the beginning of 1848, Karl Marx, over-educated, lazy rich kid who never did a day of work in his life, released the manual for overeducated lazy rich kids to explain why they should have never do a day of work in their lives.

Adopted as the philosophical underpinnings of the CPSU in the USSR, the Nazi Party in Germany, CCCP in China, NPRK in North Korea, SRV in Vietnam, PDK in Cambodia, Ba’ath Party in Iraq, the Arab Socialist Union in Libya, PSUV in Bolivia and Venezuela and the PCC in Cuba and the Minnesota Democratic Farm-Labor Party who killed George Floyd.

Every place Women and Marxist children get their utopian power fantasies fulfilled, chaos, death, and societal collapse are soon to follow.

Men first.
