#hate-monger

Do you have any thoughts on the character of the Hate-Monger? I presume that him being Hitler in a KKK costume is linking the bigotry of Nazis to those who opposed civil rights?

Yeah, the Hate-Monger is not a particularly subtle symbol; Jack Kirby had Something To Say about racial hatred in all its forms, and as a "premature anti-fascist" (and WWII vet) himself, clearly shared in the view advanced by the advocates of the Double V campaign that Jim Crow was American fascism full stop.

The Hate-Monger (fyi, the original Hate-Monger is technically a clone/memory upload of Adolf Hitler created by Arnim Zola in yet another example of how HYDRA is 100% Nazi) is also an example of Jack Kirby's continual interest in the theme of hatred and mass hysteria and how demogogues can manipulate the masses.

We see this theme returned to again and again in Jack Kirby's Fourth World, with Dr. Bedlam's Paranoid Pill from Mister Miracle #3, or (as @elanabrooklyn has pointed out) Glorious Godfrey in The Forever People #3.

Fantastic Four (1961) #21 — Stan Lee, Jack Kirby

"The editors predict this is the most unusual, thought-provoking tale you will read this season! We believe you will agree!"

"Destined to become a Fantastic Four classic!"

Why does Trump have any support? Fear.

I believe that the vast majority of voters in America are sane. That belief has had me wondering why Donald Trump is supported by people who otherwise would pass a sanity test. By any rational measure, Trump is a lying, cheating, lazy, corrupt, ignorant, irreligious psychopath and traitor. His 40,000+ lies have been documented and refuted.  He denies losing the last election despite 60+ lawsuits,…

as somebody who isn’t a fan of tommy, i think there definitely is nuance to the discussion of the hate taylor/shannon/abby/ana/marisol got vs the hate tommy is getting, and it isn’t as simple as saying it’s the same because it really isn’t.

the hate tommy is getting is strange. there are people talking about killing his character with a gun, calling him a pedophile and a groomer, and wishing harm upon him in ways that reflect hate crimes perpetrated against real queer people today.

and as a fandom that is compromised of a majority queer people, i don’t think is something hard to understand.

WHAT WILL YOU TELL YOUR CHILDREN?

'what academics thought of him' get that stick out of your ass, as if writing a bs paper is more valuable than literally 95% of jobs XDD

you know what's really sad?

you don't even know just how much you don't know.

you think that you and I are on even ground and that I just have an inflated sense of self worth and that we are intellectual equals or that we are, in some way, capable of the same logical processing power and deductive reasoning, you just didn't finish school and I did...

but we aren't.

and the saddest part is that you really never will know what it's like to understand things on the same level as I do, nor will you ever attempt to do such a thing.

you're sort of like a newborn puppy trying to contemplate the existence of a mirror.

you're capable of seeing the world around you, but you will not know why or how it works, and everything that happens to you will be outside of your control or comprehension.

and that's tragic.

and I feel sorry for you.

because that must be a terrifying and confusing way to live.

and fear mostly leads to fury and lashing out at anyone you can reach, because you cannot influence anything else, and you just don't understand why.

this is the only way you can assert yourself and make you feel in control, and the worst part is... you don't even know how easily we can see through you.

and you are still, ultimately, powerless.

you're just, you know. also embarrassing yourself.

“The only thing that we're not doing is we're not shooting [immigrants] who come across the border, because of course, the Biden administration would charge us with murder.” -Greg Abbott, Texas governor

Hey, so in case y'all aren't aware, the governor of Texas is defying the Supreme Court's order to take out razor wire on the border that severely endangers the lives of people trying to cross, under the grounds that Texas is protecting itself from invasion. Abbott is threatening to pit the Texas national guard against Federal troops. It's probably a bluff, but praying for Republicans to be rational rarely works. Extremists are literally calling for succession from the United States.

I don't think it'll come to fighting, but the fact Abbott is so openly defying federal orders and blatantly threatening militant action is pretty terrifying. Especially if he's just allowed to do this, which would set a very dangerous precedent for what states can get away with.

Reed just wasn't sure, and right then he was too dead to interrogate.

Every time Red Skull shows up, something within Steve changes. He goes from comedic, heroic and brave to just straight up righteously pissed off!

So basically, next to this being a way for Tory's to force people to join the military if they win because the military ads aren't doing shit to get people to want to join, this is also a way to screw over anyone not in the elite class. Because let's be real: kids of rich assholes like Rishi??? They wont be affected by this, their parents will avoid that because their parents only seek to punish the non-elite class people. Hell despite saying the royals will be included, we know Charles or William can just find a way to be exempt from the law like royals always end up doing. Meaning they'll be able to continue living their rich life's 18 and beyond, able to get any jobs they want or continue in education if they want, never having to worry about shit, meanwhile non-elite class 18 year olds are basically being told fuck their education, fuck their jobs, fuck any obligations they have going on, the government seeks to punish them and force them to do shit that in the long run, will impact anything they had going on negatively. Like Rishi and co are not stupid. There is no great way to fit a year in the military around university or a way to keep a job and to suggest ones who are carers should just leave caring for loved ones to whatever scheme the government makes up for them while they gone is just cruel. And there is literally no way to slip in a weekend of unpaid labor once a month for a year while in Uni without overwhelming the students who are already busy with degrees and jobs and other stuff at the weekend. This shit among so much other shit is literally why tory's have to be voted out, because if they aren't, they will do this shit and fuck over younger generations more then they already have in the past 14 years.
