He really literally is Woke, though. In the way reactionaries mean it, too.

He's a working class socialist refugee journalist who fights corrupt billionaires, sociopath AIs, and genocidal tyrants. He's educated, open minded, egalitarian, and forgiving. He's a (French style) libertarian internationalist, a diplomat, and proletarian hero. The model progressive liberal.

Literally has the power to crush or make slaves of any human he feels like, instead does the very opposite and tries to save weak and puny humans from those who would do it.

That's literally the opposite of the kind of personality that's attracted to things like Fascism.

Superman never made any money saving the world from Solomon Grundy. And sometimes I despair the world will never see another man like him.

No such thing as woke buddy, even liberals don't use that word. He's simply benevolent

I thought woke came from black culture as a way to describe knowing about the history of oppression that is left out of mainstream education.

You know, things like the Tulsa massacre, the MOVE bombing, the Tuskegee medical experiments, and so on.

As in, "don't sleep through life believing the fantasy painted by your oppressors... wake up! get woke!"

If you think punching Nazis is woke, what do you think that makes you?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago

Woke. We should reclaim that word, given it came from a good place to begin with.

Thank someone who calls you woke, it'll probably piss them off, or at a minimum cause confusion.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Correct. Thinking that makes me correct.

Objectively so, even! Also a moral duty!

That's what Captain America taught me

Buying War Bonds is my moral duty, got it!

You know, I used to think a place like Arkham City couldn't possibly exist because it's fiction, but I've learned since that comically evil IRL supervillains can and do spring up out of nowhere from time to time.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Honestly, between Batman and iron man, aside from the obvious gadgets that don't exist, it's more believable than any other "superhero" story out there. A rich guy dresses up in a costume and beats up "criminals" (the poors) for fun and entertainment, rather than use their vast wealth to fund programs that would actually help society.

Add in a bit of masochism, and that's basically America in a nutshell.

Beat people when they have no option other than to rob, or steal, just to survive.

First PBS, now Superman. Maybe it’s time to realize they just grew up to be shitty people.🤷‍♂️

Surprisingly Santa hasn't been woken yet.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

he travels the entire world in two (maybe 3? idk if any country has christmas outside of 24th/25th) nights, of course it's going to be impossible to wake him from his torpor the rest of the year!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

Just walked in from the movie. LOL, I was thinking conservatives will fucking hate it.

SPOILERHate is stirred up against our boy. Because he's an alien. Supes is taken by ICE agents to Lex's concentration camp and tortured. Because he's an alien. When he gets out he goes directly back to beating on ICE agents. It's fucking great!

Superman has always been woke.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I feel that was more before, like seen in the second image. The current version feels more commercialized and less "political" than before.

These are the same people that called Mrs. Rachel antisemitic.

It's like Invasion of The Body Snatchers: "It blinked! WWWWWOOOOAAAAAAAAKE!!"
