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

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 👍
NGL CSI was my shit growing up. Though I was never deluded into believing that accurately reflected reality to any extent. ACAB
