According to the Left: Batman is a Fascist
IWB ^ | Mark Angelides

Posted on 09/30/2017 9:07:49 AM PDT by davikkm

It sounds like a joke headline, or maybe something cropped from the basement of some keyboard warrior, but this is actually published as a real life article on the University of Alberta Website with the headline: “Frank Miller’s Batman is a fascist and you really shouldn’t cheer for him.” If you like to laugh at general idiocy and see the impacts of indoctrination over education, I highly recommend it. But there is something far more sinister behind the ideas the writer puts across.

Super Heroes are a very American phenomenon. They were created (for mainstream consumption) in the U.S, they grew into their many forms (genres) in the U.S, and in many ways they represent to us the things that do, in fact, Make America Great. And to socialists, the idea of a vigilante who does what the state is unwilling to do is a terrifying thought.

So according to the liberal party line, the Cat in the Hat is a racist and now Batman is a fascist. Gee whiz!

Well, duh. Are Snowflakes so stupid and incapable of seeing reality now that they don’t get it that Frank Miller did intentionally make Batman into the Dark Knight to be the fascist who knows how to get out of control crime under control? The reader is supposed to be torn between their desire to end crime at any cost and what the actual cost would be.

But even in 1986 when Miller changed Batman forever, I was totally OK with crushing overwhelming urban crime by any means necessary. Now, I add Snowflake protesters and Antifa goons to the list of people that need the Dark Knight to take them down.

>>outdated ideals of gender and concepts of sexuality that are baffling in modern reflection.

So IOW the author is a psychotic dumbass.

 
psy·cho·sis
sīˈkōsəs/
noun
  1. a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external reality.

"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
 
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
 
The first stage being "demoralization".
 
It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.
 
Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion.  Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science.  Members of parliament, representatives of business circles. 
 
Most of these people were divided roughly into two groups:  those who would tow the Soviet foreign policy, they would be promoted to positions of power through media and public manipulation;  [and] those who refuse the Soviet influence in their own country would be character assassinated OR executed physically, come Revolution.  "

XX + XX = FAIL

XY + XY = FAIL

XX + XY = Human

So, according to the Left, we should all eagerly surrender happily and willingly to any thug or villain who wishes to steal, kidnap or torture innocent people.

It has always been said, Leftists have never met a Tyrant they haven’t loved.

Fascism: a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

Don’t go watch the movie folks or you will lose your right to have a public opinion, The government will control all aspects of your businesses, you will lose your constitutional rights- and you will be forced to accept promote, and live a nationalistic pride or face the consequences such as North Koreans or Chinese people do

Whatever else happens, avoid this movie at all costs- it’s far too dangerous to see-

Of course they do. It's one of their competitors, as brutish and cruel as they are. And so, as such, they rightfully despise it as an enemy, and fear it as an enemy far more than they do most of the limp-wristed halfhearted conservatives and capitalists much farther down on their list of those they'll get around to eliminating as soon as they can.

My suspicion: the reason they hated the Nazi SS so much a half-century-plus back and black-caped vigilante Batman now was because they made the use of force by those in black outfits look good, and the blackshirt goons of the pismire collectivists today look way too much like easy targets.

Batman is also a guaranteed money maker for Hollywood so it doesn’t matter if he’s a facist or even if his “fictional anscestors” were slave owners.

For these college students and most 12-year-old kids...a fascist is a father who has grounded you for failing to take out the garbage...refuses to up your allowance to $10 a week...and hands you a curfew directive to be in the house by 10PM.

Beyond that, you’d have to take them to North Korea for a weekend and give them a full taste of Mr Kim-time to grasp fascism.

I would bet you a nice dinner the general answer to that is "no." Like "racist" or "racism" etc. it is just another negative term the left uses to try to discredit their enemies and put them on the defensive.

They'll take a position X on something, then call anyone who opposes them racist, sexist, homophobe, bigot, fascist. Anything and everything to make it personal - your basic ad-hominem attack. Then the person opposing the libtard is usually forced to defend themselves, their beliefs, their associations, etc. Meanwhile the original position on X goes basically unchallenged and is left out there to more or less become part of the background status quo. It is a very subtle way of slowly adjusting peoples fundamental viewpoints.

Consider, back in the Reagan era, at the height of the cold war against the evil empire... Would anyone have associated themselves with socialism, globalism, progressivism, etc.? Ok, sure, there were a few avowed communists. Today, after 30+ years of slow social engineering, democrats proudly tout their socialist views and openly embrace globalism, open borders, etc.

We're frogs in hot water, time to recognize it.

To the left anyone outside of their progressive worldview is a facist, racist.

I have stopped paying attention to their idiotic pronouncements except for purely entertainment purposes...

But but but.  We won the Cold War... uhh... didn't we? 

The bright side of the Clintonestas quacking about Russia Russia Russia - is they've helped neutralize their ability to make that argument, and COMMUNISM is back on the radar.

 

 

>>We're frogs in hot water, time to recognize it.

The theme of collective fascism, btw, is heavily ingrained in the metaphorical symbolism of the ALIEN mythology. 

Not everybody has been asleep since the Sulaco left East Berlin and headed into the Heart of Darkness.

I thought Batman fought crime to honor and remember his slain parents?

Democrats ABORT their kids, so that’s probably what’s ticking them off. Today.

It’ll be something else, tomorrow. *SHRUG*
