Superheroes and the worship of power. Middle Nation Podcast (E:10)
Manage episode 337488011 series 3381895
SHOW LESSPopular media is, more than anything else, propaganda. It reveals the true values and beliefs not only of a society, but of those who manage that society. Popular media in the United States, particularly the superhero genre of movies, reveals a culture that worships unaccountable private power, and disregards the masses. It is useful for us to critique and analyze what these societies communicate about their real values through what they celebrate and promote, rather than simply believing what they proclaim about themselves. These are, fundamentally, uncivilised and brutal cultures unworthy of emulation, and unqualified to judge or lecture more advanced civilisations, like the Muslims.
