So, short version is “yes, with a but”

Didn’t Alan Moore end up going off to write his own comics, with blackjack and hookers, because he never managed to reconcile the constrictions of the big publishers with his own political views?

And you missed the point of asking what Captain America did to ensure someone like Richard Nixon couldn’t get elected again. Or Superman with Lex Luthor.

Of course there are other examples of progressive comics, but the mainstay superheroes aren’t seen leading revolutions or improving political systems. They’re working against change.

Superheroes fighting false information online would be nice. Or forcing public healthcare through government. Etc etc.

At their core, however, the classic superheroes work to maintain the status quo and support the existing power structures of when they’re written.

At no point did Superman or Captain America stop American forces from invading a foreign country for example, or overthrow a medical insurance company.

The popular DC / Marvel ones certainly do

Chill out, dickwad

I thought it was just funny that the term “walkable” for some people invokes the idea of using bikes

Wouldn’t that make it a bikeable city?

I live in Europe, not about to break out the bike to go less than a couple of km

Walkable city means taking a bike. Got it.

People, on a large scale, will never do that. That’s not in human nature, and thinking everyone will willingly stop driving and buying meat is just the least productive kind of dreaming.

Those​ in charge will never change either, unless forced.

Well, more meat-like substances. They’re meat adjacent, just within a normal human budget.

Not sure what’s going on with the back wheel, but I do want to read this Manga now …

Thank you for your service o7

Just stick Highway to the Dangerzone on repeat and you’ll feel better in no time!

Seriously though, I watched Threads while living in Sheffield. I still have nightmares about it from time to time
