  • The one I hate the most is the Falcon/Winter Soldier series. Halfway through the series a black man that was tortured and experimented on by the US government tells Falcon this about becoming the captain america:

    “No self-respecting black man would ever wear these symbols”

    And he is fucking right, but you know what is the resolution to his storyline?? Falcon inaugurates a statue with a 3 paragraph text explaining his story in a museum dedicated to the Oeiginal captain america. Literally a footnote on the history of the “great myth” of Captain America.

    Its so ironic and infuriating bc that is exactly how Americans treat any of their past horrendous crimes. Its just a footnote on their history at best.

    Native americans genocide? That was long time ago…

    Slavery? Oh but the civil war…

    Two fucking nukes on civilians? Not war crime because WWII or some shit

    Concentration camps for japanese? Philippines genocide? Colonization on the Pacific? Apartheid? Imperialist agressions? Wiping out whole nations? Chemical weapons? Persecution of black movements? Radiation poisoning of native people on the pacific? Torture centers? Police brutallity? Keeping the whole world under surveillance?

    That’s bad, sure, but fuck China because Mao killed some feudal lords I guess 🥰#blm


  • This. I feel like these kind of videos by propagandists are superficial videos that do not really criticize the US and actually gets to the core of why these coups happen - a.k.a imperialism - because this would mean to oppose it in any meaningful way you would have to be a socialist.

    Instead they serve the purpose to dismiss any criticism that he may be a US propagandist bc he “criticizes” the US
