Fuck The Government of Israel.

Fixed that for you.

Conservative values represent upholding the status quo

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 antifascist pretending 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!

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.

You know, in some ways, I appreciate Musk. He has gone out of his way to demonstrate, for all to see, how billionaire parasites get to fail upward no matter how irredeemably incompetent and vile they happen to be.

Scumwads like gates and Bezos hides it all behind walls of pr propaganda, but not Musk.

I wonder what a cyberguillotine would look like.
