    Cultural Marxism alive and well in the world of the comic book.

    http://takimag.com/article/thor_losers_jim_goad/print#axzz3Mbfi90zE
    Last week was a trifecta for Cultural Marxism in the comic-book world. Archie Andrews was shot to death trying to protect a gay senator, Captain America became black, and the Mighty Thor had a sex change.
    What they’re doing goes far beyond mere “cultural appropriation.” This is cultural pillaging.

    I struggle to get worked up about "cultural pillaging" when the culture concerned is Captain America and the Mighty Thor. Pillage away, comrades!

    Essentially when people use the term 'Cultural Marxism' they are conjuring the image of a shadowy bunch of lefties who are hell bent on the destruction of western civilisation as it currently is. It's a continuation on the reds-under-the-bed paranoia of the Cold War era. Mass-murdering degenerate Anders Breivik spoke at considerable length about this Marxist conspiracy theory.

    Thor in female form, bad.

    Thor in frog form, okay.

    :rolleyes:

    And as for Captain America now being black, it's the fecking Falcon. One of Captain Americas oldest friends. It was hardly unexpected.

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    The woman isnt really Thor, it is someone deemed worthy by mjommjmjmj (the hammer), batman was replaced by robin too but that was ok.

    The green lantern changed race ages ago, or are replacements for superheroes only allowed to be the same gender and race of the first?

    And clearly this Superman person, a liberal do-gooder, has other agendas. if he's such a "good guy" why does he hide behind an alias, a secret identity, if you will? People don't do that unless they've got something to hide.

    In the about takimag.com page it says:
    Ideology is a false god, a secular religion that seeks vainly to create a paradise on Earth. Our only ideology is to be against the junk culture foisted upon us and mirages of a new world order.

    This dude was complaining about what's happening to comic book characters and probably puts it down to 'ideology'. It's as if he believes that comic book characters themselves are natural, value free, constructs.

    Which would be bullshit.

    It seems to me that this Just-Us League is all about exclusion! What don't they want us to know?

    I think the whole point is that artists don't have creative freedom and have to toe the line with publishers in this new world of equality and progressiveness.

    The creative teams on Thor and Captain America proposed the plotlines.

    While they don't have complete freedom due to the characters being licensed properties, in this instance they had the freedom to go ahead with the story.

    If you'd ever picked up a comic book, or looked at their history, you'd know that comic books have pretty much never, ever been an accurate social barometer. I mean, when you have covers like this:

    216_4_014.jpg

    This:

    97_4_0000058.jpg

    Or, indeed, this:

    863_4_08.jpg

    The whole notion of taking them in any way seriously starts to fade. They really, truly are pretty silly when you get down to it. Whatever about social mores and progressiveness, you're still considering the adventures of a huge man in little red pants who shoots lasers out of his face. Bonus points for Rex being equipped with an SMG for whatever reason.

    Wheres the evidence of artists (and presumably writers) having to "toe the line" here?

    Yes, yes everybody knows that Ditko has a stupid and irrstional hard-on for Ayn Rand. Said obsession has ruined many an otherwise good and solid character.

    I think this deserves to be here.

    Socialist Workers Party take the recent Terrorist Attack in France.

    http://www.swp.ie/content/statement-terror-attack-france

    Spends more time giving out about NATO, the right, and Western imperialism than the nut jobs and their ideology that killed 17 innocent people.

    Then on Charlie Hedbo, well they published hateful racist material (was it hateful and racsit only when they mocked Islam, or was mocking Catholics and Jews was OK?).
    In this context, cartoons such as those published by Charlie Hedbo do nothing to advance the cause of freedom of speech. Rather, they amount to hate speech. Muslims are an oppressed and ostracized community in the Western world. They are an easy target for Western media. While we condemn these attacks they do not validate the racism of Charlie Hedbo’s Islamophobic cartoons. - See more at: http://www.swp.ie/content/statement-terror-attack-france#sthash.YU2njx4g.dpuf

    Guess they deserved it.

    Then of course of we have this gem from Facebook.(Stolen from the politics forum)

    https://www.facebook.com/SWPIreland
    The French killings are a tragedy. No journalist should be murdered. The Western ruling class bear some responsibility for this - as long as they are bombing thousands to death, maiming children and murdering civilians in the Middle East, as long as they continue to support the rotten Apartheid state of Israel, as long as they continue to scapegoat minorities to distract people from their greed - as long as all these outrages continue desperate people will commit acts of stupid cruelty in return. No victimisation of Muslims in response.

    Islamic nut jobs kill innocent people, blame the West, Capitalism and Israel...
