What made Marvel think that pushing their politics was a good idea?
>>
comics have always pushed political agendas

Yeah, I agree that it's shitty for Marvel's CEO to be so public about his financial support of Trump.

Doesn't matter which side it goes. It's still retarded to purposefully alienate half of your potential customer base just because you think that your opinion somehow matters more simply because you write for a fucking comic.

Comics have always lean left, but alongside the political zeitgeist in the western world it got kicked up a couple of notches. To the point of being unbearable in certain issues.

Marvel being the prime offender. They are trying to court a different audience because of social sites like Tumblr and twitter makes it seem young kids and young adults, who are more to the left than Stalin, is a massive untapped market.

So they hire writers who push those ideals, and sometimes very hard.

That's my take on it. Anyone have a different view on the matter?
>>
>>88082725

If the comics are good a political agenda doesn't matter. I read and enjoy tons of stuff that expresses views contrary to my own but which I still enjoy. Same with all media.

Current Marvel is just shit in general. Being politically charged is incidental, not the cause.

>>88082644
It's all about public image. Marlel wants to be more known among the lowest common denominator so they opt for the easiest option: clickbait

This the only difference now is it's politics you're aware of/are fresh enough that you actually have an opinion on them. Nobody cares about commentary of events in the 70s, that shit was the 70s. Nobody cares about beating up Nazis because that's just history to us.
Also twitter doesn't help.

You people are the biggest fucking crybabies possible. Every single time someone says something that violates your safespace, you get so triggered that you complain about it for days on end. Every possible person has to agree with your agenda, and if anyone dares to say that LGBT people, Muslims, Hispanics and blacks deserve the same rights and dignity as everyone else, then you lose your shit.

Tell me, you precious fucking snowflake, would you prefer if Marvel pushed YOUR politics? If they jammed in your regressive, anti-intellectual, pro-authoritarian lunacy into comics, would you feel less threatened? Don't worry, sunshine, I'm sure someone will give you a hug at some time and tell you that your feelings are more important than education, democracy and enfranchisement.

After the 2012 election there was a lot of talk about the new demographics of America and the idea that millennials were more diverse and more liberal than their parents.

So a lot of companies decided it was simply good business to be more openly liberal, because advertisers are more interested in young people than old people.

Plus big companies like to suck up to whoever's in power.

Now it turns out the political power of the new, diverse America wasn't as great as people thought it was, they'll try to backtrack a bit. I think they'd be doing that even if the election had turned out differently. Open politics was basically a fad like pouches.

While you are correct, they fall in two categories:
- The political pushing exists as the point.
- The political commentary exists as a part of something bigger

Current marvel for the most part sits in the first one, while older marvel falls on both depending of how hacky the writer is being at the time period.
>>
>>88083733
Because the idea that it's only an -ism when pushed through a power structure and a black man doesn't have more power than a white woman in this scenario therefore he can't be sexist because she holds the power.

Israelis control most of the media in the US, including the comic book industry.

In the West, the Israelis use the media to push for multiculturalism and promote race mixing propaganda. However, in Israel, they do DNA tests on immigrants to prove they are Jewish enough to be granted citizenship, they've built a wall to keep illegals out, and it is even illegal for Jews to marry non-Jews.

It is not "politics". It is a genocidal agenda.

Comic creators are quite hermetic clique. Most of Marvel top writers and editors represent the same sicial group and worldview, so no wonder all they write is heavily slanted to the point of being comical because it's the usual people in bright spandex fighting for Important Social Issues by punching each other in the face.
There is no inflow of people with fresh ideas and different beliefs because the current clique function as gatekeepers, reinfoircing their orthodoxy with social media witchhunts.

One could go back to /pol/ and argue whether black Spider-Man is just a tool of (((globalists))) pursuing white genocide, but it's undeniable that Marvel lost the bond with a big part of its core audience whichbis slowly being reflected in sales.

It's not really some big conspiracy like /pol/ makes it out to be, but it's just a matter of survival.

Fast forward to this year, it's reached mainstream media, and is talked about by actual professors both in favor and against it, and then the elections.

You're retarded. All of you libtards are retarded. You see this >>88083015? This is based on a real problem, because surprise Black people were victims of racial violence and segregation in many parts of the US not just the south. Whenever comics mentioned the civil rights movement, Vietnam, etc, it made sense, these where real problems affecting real people. I can't say the same for comics where the number one issue is "OMG this white CIA heteronormative manbaby is mansplaining me" or WHEN pointless SJW issues take up the plot like in that female Thor comic where the female villain refused to fight because she doesnt fight women. WHAT?! How do you get to be a successful villain without having to fight some women? And don't get me started on this >>88083303. Does anybody get extremely annoyed when the villain makes more sense than the hero. The redneck is all like "these are our laws" and Captain Whatever is all like "So they are. And my black ass could care less." Redneck goes "Don't call us vigilantes when you are one." And the Captian Dindunuffin goes "So I am and I'll cross that bridge when I get to it eventually."

In the process they played themselves like the fools they are. The only thing the American left has right now is the pretty big possibility that Trump will do the same thing he's always done - fuck shit up. If he turns out to be an actually good president (jobs, recovery bla bla bla), they/we are fucked.

I remember they are trying Desalination Plants but they'll need a lot more of them and regardless Farmers will feel the punch since the only reason they can even farm is leeching water from the River.

Kinda hoping they do pull the succession. Since so many business would flee the state it would be a laugh riot.

Also they are calling themselves the New California Republic which is again funny given how warlike the NCR is in the Fallout Universe.

That's because the threat is enough. If the other side tells you they're gonna filibuster the bill you're not gonna put it to a vote because when it fails it will make you look weak, your ratings will drop and with them the votes you'll need in the next election.

Mockingbird was under the effects of a virus that was rapidly killing her and causing all sorts of weird things including raising the dead. Other strange issues outside of then included trying to drown herself to speed up thought process and leaving a partner tied up. And she even intentionally avoided taking an antidote in favor of just letting the virus try to exist and burn out in her body.

A key factor to human survival is the fact that we can adapt and eat a variety of foods as opposed to one specific type of food. Also we'll see how that all pans out. My town has about 2000 residents, but my town does not owe it's prosperity or progress to any one company

I don't understand how you could read what i posted and write something like this. The whole point is that it isn't JUST 7 million, it's gonna be a lot more if he keeps on doing things like that. And since he's doing 10 year deals it's gonna fuck with whoever comes after him as well.

That seems like a normal slur. Comparing people to animals is common, and doubles up because cockroach and turkroach sound similar.

By the way, if bailing out wall street is what had to be done so the country doesn't collapse then so be it. But he should've put them in fucking prison.

He can do that 1000 times and it still wouldn't be a fraction of the previous bailouts.

Not Democrat, but certainly a lefty thing. I guess it makes up for the fact that Democrats have been sounding like Cold War warhawks when talking about Russia.

Minorities can oppress majorities.

In fact, it's possible for someone to belong to an oppressed minority and oppress the majority at the same time. That's what a lot of terrorism basically is.

What's happened lately is that there's this binary idea of power relationships that reduces history to simple hero/villain narratives, so you get writers and creators who really think they can't possibly be "punching down" if they attack straight white men. They're just unaware of their cultural power.
>>
>>88086275
Except Dems didn't really turn out. Turn out in general was worse than in the last 3 elections. So in an election where they nominated Clinton, a candidate with negative approval ratings, an election which they handled so badly that they lost to a reality show star with the vocabulary of a child, they managed to actually win seats.
>>
>>88086376
If terrorism is oppression then farting in a crowded elevator is oppression too.
>>
>>88086431
>Implying it isn't
Anything that can be used to gain advantage over another is oppression. Without oppressing others, you simply leave yourself open to oppression by others.
>>
>>88086318
The problem the Democrats have is that to win the House and Senate they need to run some people in more culturally conservative states and districts. That's how they built their House majorities through 2010, a mix of liberals in liberal districts and other Democrats who distanced themselves from Nancy Pelosi big-city Democrats.

Most of those Democrats in conservative states and districts were wiped out in 2010 and 2014 but they thought they would at least hold the presidency. Now they know that to gain power they'll have to do a bit better with cultural conservatives.

A lot of that means just token shout-outs to their cultural concerns, like how Obama claimed to be against gay marriage until gay marriage became more popular, or how Bill Clinton used to talk about legal immigration being good but illegal immigration being bad.

The problem is the Democratic base feels very strongly about social issues and guns. Cultural issues are probably more important to most people than pocketbook issues.
>>
>>88086431
If you threaten to kill everybody in the elevator unless they give you what you want, and you're the only one in the elevator with a weapon, then yes, you're the powerful oppressor.
>>
the fact that election day isn't a national holiday tells you all you need to know about america, the people who live there and the politicians they vote for
>>
>>88086538
The word oppression is usually used when talking about larger-scale shit, not muggings.
>>
>>88086593
Terrorism is larger-scale shit, at least when multiple people are doing it for the same cause. The point is to make the majority live in fear so they'll have no choice but to give you what you want. That's oppression even when done by people who belong to an oppressed group themselves.
>>
>>88086521
>That's how they built their House majorities through 2010, a mix of liberals in liberal districts and other Democrats who distanced themselves from Nancy Pelosi big-city Democrats.

The problem with those dems is that they're gonna fuck the bills that the party wants to pass. Look at Obamacare, it got fucked by Blue Dogs and after they were done protecting insurance companies the thing that passed turned out to be a shitty bill that did help some people (a lot of people) but that is in the end a shitty bill.
The smart play would be to go grass roots without giving up on certain cornerstones of the party platform. Like, gun control can go. It's a loser issue.
>>
>>88086642
That's not systematic oppression.
>>
>>88086521
>Cultural issues are probably more important to most people than pocketbook issues.

Maybe if you're a SJW.

Most people are too busy having actual problems to give a shit about identity politic shoutouts.

Especially when it's shit like "I love gays! And also Muslims! I'm going to import a few million of them, who would love nothing more than to see every homosexual brutally murdered! Stronger together this amirite!?"
