Comment by BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee on My treats are not propaganda!

wait why is captain america up there? its wrong to fight nazis? is that what you’re saying?

Propaganda does not inherently mean something is wrong. Capitan America was created as propaganda to encourage the US to join WWII.

Captain America’s creation as an explicitly anti-Nazi figure was a deliberately political undertaking: Simon and Kirby were stridently opposed to the actions of Nazi Germany and supporters of U.S. intervention in World War II, with Simon conceiving of the character specifically in response to the American non-interventionism movement. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_America

More recently, the character has certainly been used as propaganda for American nationalism in meme culture

thanks for the info 👍

He masks the fact that you (Americans) are the Nazis. It masks the fact that all soldiers are the enemy of free people. It enforces American exceptionalism. Fuck Marvel, Disney, all Super Heroes and Yankee media.

What are you talking about man? Of course all Super Hero stories are propaganda, but Nazi propaganda??? Do you even know what that word means?

That sounds like Nazi propaganda to you? I don’t care if you want to shit all over corporate media, I’d probably even agree with you, but this take just isn’t it

Yes. That sounds exactly like nazi propaganda.

Do you even know what that word means?

So fucking sick of people who do exactly zero reading on a topic spouting off with ‘common sense’ and think their incredulity is the same thing as having a single thought knocking around your head.

Like it’s so fucking hard to imagine that “Super Humans” which exactly translates to German as “Ubermench” could have nazi ideology baked in to the very foundation.

So fucking sick of people reading a book and suddenly thinking they’re right about everything. Have you considered the book you’re reading may be incorrect, or that there’s more involved with superheros than “Buff white guy = Nazi,” especially with a character that was created specifically to oppose fascism?

So just the fact that a character is super strong automatically makes him a Nazi?

Booster Gold is a buff white superhero. Is he a Nazi? Such bullshit.

or that there’s more involved with superheros than “Buff white guy = Nazi

You as a person are exactly as fucking stupid as this strawman

What a relief to find out the person replying to every comment of mine is a fucking moron that can’t even follow a few simple sentences in a forum comment while shitting on the idea of reading books.

Where exactly does a Captain America comic argue for creating more super soldiers? You think the characters backstory overrules everything he says or does? You said I’ve done “zero reading” but you didn’t even respond to the comic panel I posted, you’re not interested in a conversation, you just want to preach at me

What the fuck are you even talking about. Completely incoherent.

You posted a speech and asked if it sounded like nazi propaganda. Now you want me to care about your cartoon lore? Are you here to have an adult conversation or do you want to play with dolls?

You said I’ve done “zero reading” but you didn’t even respond to the comic panel I posted

Read the fucking link I gave you and you’ll find the response you asked for. Why do you think I bothered linking it to you? Do you need everything spoonfed? It’s like a page and a half. Fucking Christ.

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.
