The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So now portions of MAGAWorld are turning on Superman as an immigrant who embodies WOKE values of “truth, justice snd the American way.”

Helping the underdog? Damned commie rat bastard.

Don’t be a bully? I’ll bet he’s a sissy homo.

In fact, Superman was birthed by Jewish writers during the Nazi era as a way to counter the Nazi propaganda that was flooding into our country.

Superman, more than any comic hero, helped win Ww2.

German propaganda even placed a column in an S.S state organ , “Das Schwarz Korps denouncing Superman and his horrible influence on American children:

"The clever creator of
"Superman' is a Colorado
beetle who works in dark. Incomprehensl- ble ways. He appeals to the ideals
of American children under the cry,
"Strength. courage. justice.'
Instead of taking wise advantage of the opportunity really to further serious virtues. he sows hate, dis-
sension, Injustice,laziness
and
crime in your hearts. Jerry
'Seal- Ing Wax' (Siegallack) stinks. It Is pitiful that American children
who must live In this atmosphere of the
west don't even recognize
the polson they dally swallow."


The piece was rumored to have been written by Josef Goebbels himself and his words have been echoed in recent days by prominent voices in America’s right wing echosphere:

Kellyanne Conway: "We don't go to the movie theater to be lectured to and to have somebody throw their ideology on to us."

Jesse Watters: "You know what it says on his cape? MS-13."

Said the co-authors of Superman: The Definitive History:

Superman has faced attacks like this before. For nearly 90 years, he’s been a symbol of decency and righteousness—and for just as long, that has caused backlash and pushback. “I’m sorry to break this to Fox, but he was an immigrant since 1938,” says Edward Gross, coauthor of Superman: The Definitive History. “Now that word has become a third rail,” adds Robert Greenberger, the other author of the book. “And Fox just leapt on it because it was red meat to them.”

Nazis have been attacking Superman for over eighty years.

Fuck these Nazis.
