I am a man boiling with rage.

Yesterday, I went with my son to watch the new Superman movie. Superman! The ultimate superhero, a character created by two Jewish immigrants, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, in the 1930s. The character is supposed to represent hope, justice, and light.

The actor playing Superman? Jewish. The studios? Owned by Jews.

Even the character of Superman himself, symbolically and historically, is considered to have Jewish roots. A refugee sent from crisis and war to save a better world, created to empower the Jews who returned from the Holocaust.

And what did the pathetic progressives in Hollywood do? They trampled all over this. Instead of presenting a character who defends the weak and fights for justice, they turned it into a disgusting political caricature, where Israel (under a different name) is portrayed as a fascist state, a warmonger, and a close ally of the U.S., which supplies advanced weaponry to fight "poor and miserable farmers (the good Palestinians) with pitchforks and stones."

And Superman? He comes to save them from bloodthirsty Israel. This is literally a film of incitement against us.

I sat there, next to my son, watching how the film had one purpose: to brainwash the world. They took the ultimate childhood hero, who was supposed to represent absolute good, and turned him into a one-sided, distorted, superficial propaganda tool. They ruined my childhood, they ruined the experience for me, but not only for me, they ruined it for the next generation.

Because my son, with his innocent eyes, asks me: “Dad, why is Superman against Israel? Isn’t he Jewish?”

So let's talk about hypocrisy.

About how the progressive Jewish studio owners, who hate Israel, hide behind this movie, sitting in their luxurious homes in California, feeling safe in their ivory towers. Aside from having a bar mitzvah for their dog, they have no connection to Judaism and choose to disconnect from the homeland that was founded on the ruins of the people who behaved like them in Europe in the 1930s.

It will come back to them like a boomerang. No matter how much they decorate their houses for Christmas, they will pay the price because history always repeats itself.

They are turning Israelis into the "bad guys," the Palestinians into the "good guys," and missiles and terrorism into the "struggle of freedom fighters." This is their coffin nail as they align with the politically correct studios of Walt Disney.

So yes, I am offended. I am angry. I am disgusted. They are cowards.

And I will tell you here, clearly: The liberal Jews in America are the main contributors to anti-Semitism in the U.S. They, and the push for progressivism in America, the takeover of communication and financial power, and the use of tools to brainwash our children in order to spread your distorted nonsense.

Take your hands off Superman because those who believe in goodness, justice, family, and identity are we — you, your god, is money. Nothing more. You’re nothing but zeros! There is no greater enemy to an Israeli than the progressive American Jew.

"Jews control the media and financial systems and are responsible for antisemitism by brainwashing children" is an impressive density of antisemitic tropes.

They'll hit critical mass before they hit critical thinking.

Because my son, with his innocent eyes, asks me: “Dad, why is Superman against Israel? Isn’t he Jewish?”

See, that's interesting, because my son, when he was curious about this article asked: "Father, if someone actively encourages anti-semitic views, even if they are Jewish, by insinuating that Jews control the media and as such, should be putting pro-Israel propaganda into every bit of mass media they can, especially if they invoke irrelevant holocaust imagery to try and shock their viewers into falling into lockstep with their toxic and destructive viewpoint, doesn't that make them a fascist, trying to both stoke anti-semitism and also accusing anyone they disagree with of being an antisemite?"

He continued "And further, if your mind is so warped by pro-Israeli views that every single piece of media you watch conjures images of a "man behind the curtain" just claiming that that man is Palestinian, not Jewish, doesn't that mean you are far more of an anti-semite than your average progressive Jew, that Jews who cannot imagine ever getting along with gentiles are functionally just doing the nazi's work for them? And by frothing at the mouth with rage at imagined enemies behind every corner, and insisting that anyone capable of empathy isn't a "real Jew" is only going to make these problems worse, not better?"

To which I responded "Fuck, I don't know, probably, I'm trying to play pokemon, leave me alone."

It's crazy how a properly zionist Superman is "absolute good" but then when he takes the other side, the complaint is that he's "one-sided". Like, if he's absolutely good and should therefore be oriented completely on your side, isn't that also one-sided?

Edit: Then he does World Jewry tropes but just for the progressive Jews this time.

[–] Ericthescruffy@hexbear.net 25 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Okay, so I'm kind of speaking in ignorance because despite my embarrassing enjoyment of cape shit I haven't yet seen the movie...but I am curious. I actually accept the author's premise that Superman does have Jewish roots, but as we all understand here: Judaism and Zionism should not be conflated.

So I can't help but wonder then: if the name of the countries in question were changed... Just what gave it away to this writer that they were talking about Israel?

If you recognize that they were talking about Israel and Palestine because it was a bunch of armed fascistic bloodthirsty well armed colonizers massacring farmers and women and children... How is that not straight up telling on yourself?

I, for one, salute James Gunn for making the bold move to make such a timely political statement in a superhero movie of all things, BUT especially a SUPERMAN movie. Superman would completely step in to stop a genocide, and it's such a fantastic way to point out the fact that this atrocity is literally supervillain levels of evil that, yes, a superhero WOULD fucking come to save those people. And you have to ask yourself, if you're siding with this abysmally evil country against Superman of all heroes, what does that make you? I have no doubt that Siegel and Shuster (Supes' creators) would themselves take a stand against Israel's actions, even though they were Jewish, they were front in center to the atrocities perpetrated by the Nazis that they'd no doubt draw the parallels immediately, and probably would be horrified at the things that are done in the name of Jewish people.

Also: I love, love, LOVE, seeing those sweet Zionist tears flow as each and every one of them has a meltdown watching Superman ...being, well, Superman and saving the fucking day from evil assholes.

Did Superman's creators ever talk about Isreal or zionism as it was happening? I don't know when they passed away.

What a disgusting kid by the way; he sees Superman preventing unarmed civilians from being massacred and rather than ask why the people who made the movie hate jews (which would still be incorrect), he asks why someone intent on preventing massacres of unarmed civilians hates jews (and let's not even talk about how he sees himself in the violent white colonizers and the Gazans in unarmed brown civilians). What an utterly lousy kid.

[–] SadArtemis@hexbear.net 39 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

I believe them, actually. This is the same country which has children singing and cheering about the ongoing genocide in explicit terms, the same country which has them and their war criminal, settler families making mocking videos portraying starvation, r*pe, the slaughter of babies, etc. They know what they are doing, while obviously culpability is different for children they absolutely are supporters and even participants even if they are also victims of being groomed to be monstrous racists and criminals in their own right.

And the truth is, Isntreal is not unique in this regard. The Nazis may have had the good sense to do things behind closed doors (somewhat?) but the history and ongoing reality of other settler states (and to my understanding at least to some extent with the Nazis) shows that the process of dehumanization- of teaching settlers to dehumanize their victims, to engage in the same crimes as the rest of society so as to create "bonds" (bonding over committing atrocities), is a foundational part of the structure of fascism, settlerism, and imperialism.

Look at the Anglo settler-states' histories, and it's not that far back- a few decades/half a century really- where entire families and communities would get together for a lynching, even take postcards. People would play carnival games where they would attempt to commit bodily harm against black people. Games like "cowboys and 'Indians'" are declining but absolutely part of this fabric, and the casual racism prevalent across schools in the west is part of this as well. Go further back in the history of the US (but still, not actually that far back) and you will find communities getting together to capture, torture, and brutally murder runaway slaves in public hangings, quarterings, maulings by dogs, etc. A rite of "manhood" in the imperial societies would be joining in the slaughter of various "colored" peoples, whether it be the "Indian wars" and countless little encroachments/massacres in the US and elsewhere, or joining the western regimes' colonial infrastructure. (And an expectation of colonial "womanhood" would be weaponizing it against "uppity" minorities and sometimes/oftentimes even inciting violence and countless atrocities). You can see how it was part of the culture of western Europe, how it was glorified and celebrated as the "manly and adult" thing to do, to go gun down Africans, Asians, other indigenous peoples with guns and artillery whose range was far beyond that of their victims, or with machine guns against in the most extreme circumstances, indigenous resistance armed with swords and spears- but once the Europeans experienced how it was to have the other side shoot back- and be white- the facade of "glory and valor" faced the reality of what it had been all along.

The legacy still continues as well, you can see it in the glorification of war in the US (and in truth, still across the west, but of course we brand it with slogans like "freedom and democracy" that have no connection to the reality of our actions and policies abroad). The most prevalent introduction to "middle-eastern," Arabic, and Islamic culture (though in truth the religion does not matter, if anything we particularly brutalize and overthrow secular societies and back those who slaughter ethnic and religious minorities) in the west in our modern times, is as the generic "terrorist" to be killed over and over again in FPSes like CoD or (insert western semi-realistic FPS series here that isn't set in WW2, or alternatively fighting "evil Russkies/generic east Europeans"). Or to be killed by the "war heroes" in our movies who show their heroism by going to foreign countries filmed in sepia tones, to label anyone resisting this foreign invasion as a "terrorist" and to kill, more and more. And the US celebrates this at most of its sporting events, it celebrates it in its schools, it celebrates it in its portrayal across mass media, etc, etc.

I could go on and on more and- well, yeah this drew a ramble out of me. But no, I believe it. This is a settler-society that is still in the "early" phases (ie. the "slaughter the Palestinians and all other traces of indigeneity until you've established a secure lebensraum and a overwhelmingly dominant volk demographic where you can start slaughtering native peoples and "manifesting" your destiny elsewhere and tone down society for better optics at home" phase). The kids know what they are doing, they've been taught all their lives thus far to celebrate it, to embrace it, because otherwise the system of sustaining and reproducing future generations of such a monstrous abberation of a society starts to break down in some degree, the "foundational mythos" starts to break down (you can see across the west attempts to whitewash and rehabilitate their bloodstained history, etc etc). Many of those kids could watch Palestinians (or the other generic brown hordes) be mowed down, unarmed, in their schools and hospitals and homes, whether from afar or up front in graphic detail and they've been taught this is good, this is "beautiful" (mind you as noted that I consider them victims as well as perpetrators with vastly diminished culpability as mentioned earlier). And even those they live amongst, they are taught to look down on them, to beat and bully them and to treat them as untermensch, because this is what settler society is (and that reality, that legacy but also the ongoing systemic and cultural racisms, if somewhat diluted with time or whitewashed over for polite company, holds true across the west)

The kid knew what they were seeing. Same as how most kids would probably connect the dots, if they saw movies and other media portraying the struggle from the other side, with Arabs, Asians, Africans, or whoever it might be being portrayed defending their homeland and being inspired to pick up arms and fight for their countries against marauding "generic white invaders in the military fatigues typical of US/NATO (but also the west in general)." Kids are smarter than most people assume (or more precisely in this case and many- it takes years of indoctrination which has to cover all the bases, for them to "learn" all the liberal, imperial, chauvinist hypocrisy, willful ignorance, and lack of self-awareness).

The format just feels old and stale, like I’ve seen this kind of post a million times with the similar wording. Just a persecution complex fanfic “I took my kid to the movie, and it was woke. After the movie, my kid looks at me with big blue eyes and says to me “daddy, the woke made me uncomfortable.”

Honestly that's the most likely case (admittedly I don't seriously think the kid said this); if the kid has media literacy enough to understand the Barovians are supposed to be Israeli, he's smart enough to know it's the creators who would hate Israel (if they even do), not a fictional character.

A lot of stuff wrong but Superman was raised in rural Kansas. I'm pretty sure Ma and Pa Kent weren't Jewish.

[–] Ericthescruffy@hexbear.net 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not in the literal sense, but the author is correct that the character has symbolic roots stemming from his creators. Just consider Superman's powers and his origin story as an infant sent, metaphorically speaking, down river as an infant wrapped in blankets to a far away land by his birth parents to avoid certain death.
