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.

They won’t.

It’s like MLK said - the white liberal will always prefer “a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice.”

That’s the whole reason they didn’t bat an eyelid when Neo-Nazis and KKK-boys were marching under open police protection back in 2016 but collectively lost their shit when antifa showed up to physically confront them.

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!

Nah, I don’t really think I want to play a Nazi simulator. Besides, there’s already something akin to that out there. It’s Call Of Duty.

Oh, it’s going to stick to you and every other liberal. And we’ll be here to make sure you never forget it.

where you play the bad guys

So we get to play as HP Lovecraft?

How is your genocide coming along?

You mean, apart from liberals?

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.

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?

You’re talking about a fascist, not an “extreme conservative.” And you cannot persuade them “toward center” because there is no such thing as a political “center.” Never has been.

Throwing a spanner in their brain washing is actually a lot easier than people think… but only if you understand their socio-economic conditions. There’s a lot of contradictions bubbling under the surface of right-wing ideology - the trick is to exploit those.
