If you actually read it instead of just looking for a facile 'own' to mine from it, you'd have noticed a lot of the points were contradictory to each other and that there are two or three points that directly apply to super hero comics and that speech in particular.
Guy in a thread where the topic is poptarts: "You just say everything you don't like is poptarts!"
I believe media like super hero comics can be used to examine difficult topics like facism. That does not make the entire medium Nazi propaganda. For example Capitan America's backstory is clearly an allegory for America hiring German scientists after the war.
I am specifically arguing that the character Captian America is not inherently fascist. You keep asserting he is without providing any examples. All while throwing in ridiculous strawman arguments.
If you believe all super hero comics are inherently fascist, I'm not sure this is a productive conversation.
I honestly hope you're fucking with me.
"Captain America is a perfect example of comics not being fascist propaganda because his story is about that time we sheltered nazi war criminals"
You're an idiot that dismisses things offhand and shuts your brain down. No shit this isn't a productive conversation. Super hero comics are the distilled essence of great man theory. So now you have received your shutdown signal.
You really don't know what the hell you're talking about here.
lol stfu
