    Did you even read your own link?

    “Disagreement is treason” – fascism devalues intellectual discourse and critical reasoning as barriers to action, as well as out of fear that such analysis will expose the contradictions embodied in a syncretistic faith

    I posted an exact panel from the source material showing you the character standing against one of the principles of fascism, and you still called it Nazi propaganda? Maybe you should start using your brain instead of calling everything you don’t like Nazi propaganda.

      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.

        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”

          If you believe all super hero comics are inherently fascist, I’m not sure this is a productive conversation.

          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.
