    Default Comic Book Villains Now Conservative Constitutionalists

    Marvel comics just launched its new Captain America series where the villains are people who are trying to prevent illegals from entering the United States.

    Never seen such ridiculous propaganda.



    The 'villian' was shown to be in a sinister mask saying "by invading this sovereign land, you defy the laws of god, nature, and the united states constitution"

    After WW2 Comics have always leaned pretty left, like the rest of media has.
    sometimes more than others.

    Not a fan of comics?
    This 'ridiculous propaganda' has been imbedded in comics for generations.
    Probably the best known (and most powerful) example is that of the Superman vs the KKK.

    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    They used to be against Nazis and the KKK now they are against normal people with normal political opinions. Outrageous.

    Is lynching the only identifiable factor differentiating a 'normal' idea from an 'abnormal' one?

    So you believe stopping illegal immigrants entering your country is as bad as being a KKK member or a nazi?

    Also I have to say, ---putting on my marvel comic nerd hat and adjusting my pocket protector---

    "the Sons of the Serpent" Cap is pitted against here is not a new group.
    By it's costumes they clearly are part of the long time villains organization called the "Serpent Society" lead by a cult leader type guy with a dark mystically powered "Serpent Crown".
    a-hem
    and not only that but...
    I suspect it's a plan by the Serpent Society to weaken Capt' America's rep and isolate him from support, recruit new members and so further the Serpent Society's goals of world domination.... not "protecting the boarder" or "U.S sovereignty".

    soo uh yep.

    Nope.
    But I set my standards higher than 'at least these ideas aren't as bad as Nazi ones'.

    Having border controls is not nazism.

    I'll start buying these comics once one comes out showing them deporting all of the criminals and their offspring, and treating them like they would treat other criminals. And whichever character achieves this, I will refer to as "my hero".
    “You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock
