Oh look... American Exceptionalism and American Innocence all rolled up into one ubermensch-style Objectivist "super hero" character.
History teaches us what US "ideals" truly are and always have been - and all the "soft power" the US can conjure won't be able to paint over it ever again.
"Objectivism is when an antifascist nazi-killer says that a nation which fails to embody ideals of equality is trash."
If objectivism was how you describe it I'd be an objectivist.
Steve Rogers has never blindly supported the American government.
Right... because we can't actually have these "supers" actually do anything about that, can we? After all... America is untouchable. It's just too exceptional, right?
Didn't that happen while Cap was saving a billionaire parasite oil tycoon? Yeah... I can just feel Cap's "antifascist" cred rising as we speak. I guess this is the true face of those (supposed) "ideals" Cap was going on about, right?
Just for interest's sake... did you happen to see Cap offing any fascists in Nicaragua in the 80s? Or does Cap mysteriously forget to show up when the fascists are bankrolled by the CIA?
To be fair, that was the whole point of Civil War.
