Because I don't think we're talking about Kahless II anymore!

    Except that the post wasn't about fascists hitting fascists.

    The drawn character isn't a fascist, it's a representation of ideals. Don't dirty them with your hatred.

    The propaganda supersoldier that fights against all the enemies of the USA isn't fascist? The guy that exists only and specifically through military bioengineering, isn't fascist?

    Says more about you than about me.

    Yeah man, sure, it's all propaganda. People working together, being kind to each other, protecting the weak and other nonsense like that is just military supersoldier fascism.

    Don't support any idealized figure because it's just political propaganda. Nothing good is ever real, eh? Nihil much there, bub?

    Huh? The basis of captain america is that a weakling becomes an amazing perfect supersoldier thanks to weird immoral experiments, but the evil nazis prevent the experiment to continue (oh no, no more supersoldier army to conquer the world!), and so then he goes and punches Hitler in the face.

    It actually was fascist enough to crash down when people started not liking fascism and seeing that the comics was refusing to make captain america be involved in the politics of back then. But I guess that deciding to stand by and watch when witnessing oppression is not fascist, it must be about freedom of speech or whatnot.

    The basis is that a brave weakling wants power out of the ordinary to fight out of the ordinary villains. That the origin of the power matters less than what's being done with it. And that even an out of the ordinary man is just one man among many.

    No one can lead where people won't follow.
