I have a Flag Smashers shirt… go figure, they speak to me.
I was putting it on a couple days ago and I paused and thought about it, and suddenly realized the immensity of the propaganda - the great Captain America destroying the evil socialists who think resources should be shared by everyone, and that nationalism is a barrier to truly having ‘one human family’.
Blew my mind it took me this long. Also made me wonder if they were dug up from long ago comics when America was openly and blatantly monitoring and persecuting socialists and communists (specifically picturing the scenarios and time illustrated in Oppenheimer). Haven’t had a chance to dig in to that part yet, but I will right now!
I didn’t know those were a comic thing. The Flag Smashers were so bad and stupid I buried them in my memory. I saw them less as a political group and more as delusional extremists mad their economic situation went in the toilet because people who were dead suddenly weren’t. Killed children over “borders bad”. Boy do I hate that part of the show.
