Addendum 'machete-wielding' Timor-Leste militant shown above can also be interpreted in terms of the #OtheringCaricatureSlaveryNat caricature, which as the #OrgUSMIJimCrowMuseumOfRacistMemorabilia explains "The Nat caricature portrays African and African American males as angry, crazed, revengeful brutes with a bloodthirsty hatred for white people. Like many anti-black caricatures, the Nat portrayal was popularized during American slavery.... 'Nat was the rebel who rivaled Sambo in the universality and continuity of his literary image. Revengeful, bloodthirsty, cunning, treacherous, and savage, Nat was the ravager of white women who defied all the rules of plantation society. Subdued and punished only when overcome by superior numbers of firepower, Nat retaliated when attacked by whites, led guerrilla activities of maroons against isolated plantations, killed overseers and planters, or burned plantation buildings when he was abused...

@DominiqueAshker [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : No wonder so many real women ask where have all the real men gone. If you let the weakest take over society, you soon won’t have a society. Go woke and you’ll send a society more then broke. What women want weak men ? What agenda’s want weak men ? #woke #biden #globalists #msm… [URL redacted] [URL redacted]

Supplementary #MagazineUKFilmStoriesAJBlack "Perhaps a reason why comic-book heroism took hold across the 2010s was not just about how Marvel married traditional comic-book movie structures with must-see episodic television, but also our own growing awareness that the structures said heroes have long protected are decaying in western society. Captain America learns that HYDRA has corrupted SHIELD, that bastions of American freedom have been infiltrated by fascist extremists. Thanos seeks ultimate population control as a means of balancing resources. So many of these films speak not just to disrupters with arch plans but how they expose the frailty of government or democratic systems in their disruption, sometimes even working within them. This also could explain the 'lone hero' trope that has taken hold in recent years to a more intense degree. McClane, John Matrix, John Rambo were all lone heroes, but as an audience, you never doubted they would prevail. They existed within a cathartic, controlled and safe geopolitical sandbox either during the end of the Cold War or the unipolar security of the United States. After 9/11, it all started to change. Jason Bourne realised his own government, with its mass surveillance, was an Orwellian nightmare. James Bond returned to a complex world where CIA agents worked with brokers to help dictators as part of a scheme to control the supply of a natural resource (as we saw in Quantum Of Solace as an example). And Ethan Hunt steadily became, even within his own storytelling, 'a living manifestation of destiny' as one character describes him" (28 November 2024). https://filmstories.co.uk/features/what-exactly-is-the-modern-cinematic-hero-fighting-for/ #PleaAWorldOfSimpleStableFixedOperations #BrandMarvel #BrandMarvelCinematicUniverseMCUCaptainAmerica #BrandMarvelHydra [Wikipedia] #BrandMarvelSHIELD [Wikipedia]. #BrandMarvelCinematicUniverseMCUThanos #FictionalCharacterJohnMcClane of #1988_DieHard etc. #FictionalCharacterJohnRambo #FictionalCharacterJohnMatrix of #1985_Commando #TheoryPsychologyPsychologicalPurgationCatharsis [Wikipedia] #PhenomnIdeologicallyMotivatedViolentExtremismIMVE #PoliticsCommunismColdWar #2001_September11Attacks911 #2016_JasonBourne #IRLAuthorGeorgeOrwell #FictionalCharacter007JamesBond #OrgUSFedCIA #2008_QuantumOfSolace #FictionalCharacterEthanHunt
