  • It’s funny to think of Superman as a “model immigrant” in terms of his being a foreigner to the US. He’s one of the good ones for being raised in Middle America and adopting US customs. Which reminds me that one of the more interesting Superman stories is called Red Son, it’s an alternate history where baby Kal El lands in Soviet Ukraine instead of Kansas and is raised by communists. The US and Chile are the last capitalist holdouts on that universe, lmao









  • Not exactly related (although it’s possible the feds will recruit them or they’ll do it of their own accord), but how far could any socialist (even a demsoc) take their agenda with the NYPD threatening them? They’re better funded than many armies and they’re full of chuds, I can’t imagine how easy it would be for them to kill the mayor or allow a shooter to get him or his family. I almost feel like he’ll need his own security guards, which seems unrealistic given the magnitude of the force against him.

    I remember wondering about this during the George Floyd protests in 2020 because some mayors, who may have been somewhat sympathetic otherwise, seemed trapped by very threatening looking pigs who were always flanking them during speeches or appearances. Seems like a huge problem to deal when it comes to making this country even slightly better at a local level, lmao
