That’s liberalism.
Just your average friendly neighbourhood radical.

That’s liberalism.
Considering the microscopic ideological differences between liberals and their slightly-closer-to-overt-fascism liberal cousins called “conservatives” I’d have to say… this is absolutely much ado about nothing.
It’s not fun in 2024 because, thanks to the internet, we now have mountains of evidence at our fingertips to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt what they really are and always have been - ie, what the leftists have been trying to tell us since forever.
I generally agree with your post, but I’d say one correction is in order here.
Remember Stan Lee was in the military when it was
antifascistpretending to be antifascist in order to wage war on colonialist rivals.
The US military has never been antifascist.
gives an escape to readers to fantasize about themselves as the hero?
Your “escapist” fantasy is to be rich, dress up in tacticool BDSM-gear and be allowed to beat up working class people?
Yes, comic books are propaganda, and the super-creep variety has always had the smell of Objectivism to it.
It’s certainly worked on you.
and Batman is a fascist by then.
I’d say that Batman is fundamentally fascist. He wages war on the working class so that crime can be preserved as an activity reserved for the class Bruce Wayne represents - the capitalist one.
Are people ready to admit that characters like Tony Stark and Bruce Wayne has always served to propagandize the idea of “genius millionaire/billlionaire” capitalists despite the fact that no such thing has ever existed in reality?
And that this propaganda is partly the reason why parasitic fraudster racketeers like Musk, Gates and Bezos gets to get away with their gargantuan crimes against humanity?
No?
Oh, so it turns out that “genius billionaires” only exist in comic books?
Nobody could have seen that one coming!
Shrapnel-creating explosives is used for open ground. In closed-in terrain, blast explosives is always going to be more effective. That’s why the infamous “potato masher” grenade of the Germans was blast-only - it’s far more effective at killing people inside trenches and bunkers. The US used the WW1-vintage Mk.3 grenade for that same purpose up until very recently.
It can happen, but not at the rate you see in movies. Explosions in real life is far, far more brutal than they are in the movies. Blast waves can liqefy bone - something the writers of zombie media never seem to understand.
Voting is the #1 cause of unwanted presidencies, too.
It’s almost like the game is rigged, I tell ya.
I would love to be given a few minutes worth of grace to edit some minor spelling and/or grammar mistakes once I’ve hit the “post” button.
Snubbed by Tesla
Ah, so there is something Tesla can do that will actually have a positive effect in the world.
If you bought a Tesla you are not “progressive” in any way whatsoever.
It’s amazing to me just how hassle-free it is to use Lemmy as opposed to reddit.
Rddit just feels like it’s actively trying to get you to leave it.
There was official support for Windows 7?
His name wouldn’t happen to be Patrick Batemen, would it?
Political Memes is socialist?
I literally blocked it because it’s just liberals pretending to be socialist.
I thought the halo ce was generally very well received.
So was a whole bunch of other FPS tripe that glorified USian militarism.
Fixed that for you.
