RE: Thought Bubble Thursdays #6 - Fates Worse Than Death
Actually, they've been doing a good job with Captain America as of late. They're changing the character as a reflection of the times. For a time, Falcon took up the SHIELD while Steve Rogers was aged to his proper age (probably as a depiction of, as you said, antiquated notions). But, Steve Rogers' youth has since been restored, and he's been through the wringer because of recent events.
I guess we'll see, but I wonder if even the notion of patriotism will become antiquated in the US as it has in Germany.
I'm pretty sure it would. I think the main factor working for that is time. Given enough of it, patriotism would surely wane, especially with polarizing views on pertinent topics.
Here's hoping!
Haha! Ever the contrarian :D
Am I? I thought we were agreeing! Ha!
Oh we are! Haha! I just meant you're a contrarian with regard to the popular opinion about patriotism haha!
Aha! Yes, we recognize the dangers of nationalism.
Why yes of course! Those who recognize the dangers of groupthink would agree!
