Superman standing for justice, even back then.
Kinda puts into perspective because lex Luthor was racist against kryptonians .
Meanwhile captain america
to put in modern times--
Kids: "Superman, there are a bunch of rich, entitled college kids yelling 'from the river to the sea'--is that talk 'unamerican'?"
Superman: "Don't worry about them, they went to their mansions and summer homes for the summer and will be over this by August, if not already. They need their summer holiday to recharge their oppression when they return to Columbia, UPenn and NYU in the fall."
This person has completely failed to understand a 75 year old superman comic made for children.
Social satire and I will explain--"religion, race and national origin" and given the temper tantrums from the progressive left who are singling out, intimidating and assaulting those based on "religion (Jewish), race (Jewish) and national origin (Jewish) if that counts as "unamerican" talk.
Funny how it is turned on its head.
Then Superman replies that these rich, entitled and completely clueless protesters (who don't even know which river and which sea) are not a problem because they have vacation and even genocide cannot get in the way of July at the vineyard.
Basically giving a big fuck you to all those retard protestors.
I think its less the religion and the national origin so much as all the killing and stealing of people's homes, mostly based on the victims' religion and national origin.
And not sure why you assume they're rich. Most social activists and most college students I know are definitely not.
Also not sure saying fuck you and calling people retards is in the spirit of this comic. Maybe a more apt modern day comparison would be the MAGA crowd calling for Christian values and deportation of Muslims, Latin Americans, etc.
One thing we can agree on though is I do think it's funny how you turned both this comic and reality on their respective heads.
I have a dark sense of humor. And they are retards. Watch videos where they ask them "what are you protesting?"
What is even funnier is you bring up deportation! Sanctuary cities are now loving the whole deportation now that they had to be slightly troubled with the illegal migrants in their own backyard turning their streets into 3rd world shit holes-see AOC's district.
So the left is saying "get the hell out of here, you are ruining our cities!" Do you know who said that?--the Mayor of NYC! Months earlier it was sanctuary paradise!
That’s not what a dark sense of humor is lol

So, you support genocide? Gotcha.
If killing every Hamas terrorist is genocide, then no problem. You notice that not even the Egyptians and Jordanians want them.
And it is not even close to genocide. Read a book. The civilian casualties are such a small proportion compared to other battles and conflicts in urban areas, let alone genocide.
Do you even know which river and which sea they are talking about?
You throw around definitions, not knowing the meaning.
So, every Palestinian is a terrorist? Look, you use too many words to claim your support for genocide. I throw around nothing. I state observations. Keep up buttercup.
You did not receive much logical training when you got your Comparative Lesbian Studies degree with a minor in Oppression.
How is it a genocide? More civilians got killed in one night in Dresden then the entire Gaza conflict.
Just tell me how it is genocide. You think you know what it means, but you are clueless.
Civilians get killed in urban warfare. It happens. When they are used as shields, the bodies pile up more. Meanwhile the Hamas authority leadership is living in the 4 Seasons Hotel.
Where were you on the Dafar and Syria genocides?
If they are Hamas or directly support Hamas with material aid, they are fair game.
Let them have their 72 virgins because Hamas lets them live like shit now. And the women can come back as one of the 72 virgins. F them. They are not ready to join civilized society.
1500 years ago they were chopping off heads in the desert, that is what they are doing now and hopefully not in the future because they will not exist. They are terrorists.
You persist in spewing hatred and misinformation. Nothing more.
So if your old ass dies because shit goes down where you live in North Carolina then it's fine, right? Groovy.
How is it genocide? I am waiting for your response. Why weren't you concerned with the muslim on muslim genocide?
671,000 died in the Syrian civil war because Assad fucking them up.
377,000 deaths in Yemen due to the Saudis fucking them up.
20,000 or so Gaza residents died because Hamas used them as human shields.
That is not genocide.
Please answer the question. I am impervious to insults and it has no effect on me.
Nothing is going to happen in my area. Nothing. Everyone is armed. We are also the home of the 2nd Marine Division and to a lesser degree, the 82nd Airborne.

Says something moronic and claims it's "Satire" LMFAO
Modern day conservatives:
"SUPERMAN WENT WOKE!"
They are lined up behind Wish.com Lex Luther too
SUPER WOKE!!!
Modern day, political left, except for the jews
Um...can you define woke?
Sandy Cortez gave a speech on what is. You can find it on youtube
Only some brain-dead political leftist would think what superman was saying is woke.
So no then 😕
You can use reddit.I'm pretty sure you can use youtube.I told you where to find the definition of woke.
Maybe you can get your grandkids to show you how to use youtube.
And then there's Superman a few years before
Me when I order my 4th pint of Asahi
Wartime 🤷♂️
Did anyone ever ask Superman where he was during Pearl Harbor?
The true Hero With a Thousand Faces
You heard it straight from Superman. Being a bigot or a Nazi is unpatriotic.
Man, we really need this kind of energy today
This also could’ve been mf doom
Supes was an illegal alien, let’s not forget.
Superman then looks to his left
“What do you think you’re going to do with that baseball bat? Go ahead Billy, take your best shot before I throw you into the sun”
Yeah but, he didn't mean THOSE people or THOSE religions
Superman knows that every Ivan and Jing in American public school is one less commie for the Red Armies.
🫡
I would love to put this up as a poster in my classroom - how old school cool!
€Doomsday€
Superman never made any money Savin' the world from Solomon Grundy And sometimes I despair The world will never see another man like him
Back story: The kid with the bat was dropping N bombs all week!!
This is why Superman is one of the world’s best superheroes
:(
Unless he's a dirty Commie bastard
Lol but at the same time used gendered language in saying he and his, but otherwise great that they had this even back the
This would be called "woke" today. I always try to tell people that most of what they consider wokeness has been expressed in just about every medium for decades.
"Woke propaganda" of the 1950s lol
He had to throw in the boys and girls and ruin it all - ignoring all the other 999 genders.
Makes me wonder how long we would’ve gotten to real civil rights progress if we weren’t locked in an existential, moralistic war against the Communists. So much “see? We’re the good guys!” energy during that time. But that’s how human nature works, I guess. Always gonna be an Us V Them framing.
EDIT: What’s with the downvotes? Like the person who replied to me said, our propaganda war against the Soviets actually helped spur enough sentiment in the government and in the populace to make progressive societal changes. This is not exactly a hot take.
That moralistic war against the Communists played a role in speeding up civil rights, as had the moralistic war against the Nazis. The Soviet use of the plight of African-Americans in their propaganda pushed the US government to do something about it.
Exactly. Likewise women’s rights. USSR legalized abortion and made marital rape a crime in the 1920s. It was a bad look to say the least that Stalinist Russia had (at least on paper) more progressive views on gender equality. Please don’t get me wrong. In practice, Soviet policies were awful for everyone - and people were routinely abused and even murdered by the state. But there was no way we (the US) were going to allow The Commies to seem freer than us during the Cold War.
You're dealing with ideology instead of factual perspective on this platform. People are inserting their current views as applied to our present world versus the context of the submitted material from 74 years ago. You'll get preached at and downvoted. Just remember which party filibustered both civil rights bills. Remember which party the first black members of congress picked. You'll get responses about "the parties switched!" and other nonsense. Using that logic, the parties didn't switch until after the last civil rights act. For a cherry on top, recall what LBJ said about his fellow humans. Propaganda in public schools has a lot to do with the dumbing down of America.
Eh, you had me for a chunk of it. And I definitely agree about Redditors prioritizing ideology over history. There was no party switch, per se, because nothing is ever that simple. But it’s hard to argue that LBJ’s Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts didn’t cause exactly what he predicted (and lamented): the racist southern Democrats and Dixiecrats promptly fled the Democratic Party in massive droves in favor of the Republican Party, who already had plenty of racists. The national parties just weren’t well ideologically sorted.
The wipeout of the Dems in the 1966 midterms showed that it was well underway. Nixon noticed this, as well as he noticed he could peel off a chunk of George Wallace’s openly racist voters. Hello, Southern Strategy.
EDIT: Looks like I’m not making friends on either side of the divide today, lol
I hardly ever down vote someone for an honest opinion, so wasn't me. Debate these days consists of insults and hurt feelings instead of facts.
It's sad to see how low we as a society have gotten compared with back then
Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but just in case you're not: "back then" was pre-civil rights legislation: segregated schools, toilets, waiting rooms were common, as were lynchings, etc. Women were widely considered to be inferior beings, and I believe homosexuality was illegal. Also there was a barbarian (and closeted transvestite) running the FBI and leading a purge against Communists - generally people who thought that poor people, people of color, women, and non-cis folks deserved the same rights as white males.
I'm not being antagonistic, I just thought I should say something.
He's not speaking to a very diverse group of cartoon kids.
Yeah...that's...how this works. The comic was made during a period when rights of racial groups were changing
Because the religions being referred to were all Christian religions but different sects, and the races were all some form of caucasian but differed in point of origin. Either way, the statement still rings true as American, this is true American ideals. Superman is an immigrant and always was.
Most of society was segregated in 1950 so that actually makes sense why the group isn’t diverse
One of those is a choice though Superman, and you’re an alien that proves there are better creations than humans. If not you’re a demi-god which proves monotheism wrong
We made tremendous progress on racial division in this country until Barack ran for office and brought identity politics to the forefront. The country has been divided ever since.
”If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.”
Awww. A black man getting elected made you racist. I’m sure you lot totally would have not been racist otherwise
You're correct. He started it with inserting himself into a neighborhood watch scenario resulting in the Beer Summit, where he basically paraded a guy out for doing his job of making sure a house wasn't being robbed. Not to mention he murdered an estimated 1000 civilians, including Americans, by droning them by direct order. You can't deprogram people who are pleasantly brainwashed.
You get it. Many people out there just like to believe what feels good. The truth on this matter, unfortunately, is much more insidious. They’re being used for their vote to support addressing manufactured racial division. It’s sad.
Somebody send this to the democrats!
