also, i Do Not Understand how someone can look at the events of the finale and decide that silver is the person that deserves the most sympathy and attention 

#like. the dude sold his best friend into slavery#let him believe the love of his life was dead when he damn well knew better#and then had the nerve to claim that *he* was the one who deserved to be trusted#he betrayed his wife and everything she believed in#he condemned millions of innocent people to death and slavery#this is?? not a guy i feel sorry for??#as billy said: ‘you chose. live with it’#js critical via @bean-about-townn

This. He brought whatever sorrow he felt on himself. He did it to himself and in the process he condemned millions if not billions to lives of misery. Not just black people either – no. Think about the changes in laws about queer people James Flint would have insisted upon had they won their war. Think about the difference that could have made. The magnitude of Silver’s crimes cannot be overstated and I’m so very very furious at him for them
