This is the best comic book quote, but also the most misappropriated.

Why was Clint dressed as Cap anyway?

>Best

But also its issue is in its vagueness.
Yeah it's the universal American truth of "Don't let yourself be bullied into complacency." but every fuckadoodle who's ever been called an idiot on the internet thinks he's a dogged individualist with oppressed ideals so Cap is speaking to them. I mean technically he is but they always manage to be such pretenious cunts.

This one is more relevant.

Where is Captain America on the political compass?

>But also its issue is in its vagueness.
I disagree since it's not for a mass of people, instead it's just Spider-man

The best comic quote is "Cowboys never quit"

human rights activist

Right where he belongs.

In AMERICA!

>believes vigilante violence shouldn't have any regulations put on it
Hyper libertarian.
I'd say slightly right because he grew up in the 1940's but since it's marvel he's very socially liberal

No I think he's slightly right still. He just doesn't have time for fucking nonsense or divisiveness because of the whole war veteran thing.

You mean like traditionally? He was a new deal Democrat. Also when Cable made his socialist island utopian city Cap called it the perfect realization of the American Dream.

I prefer this because it corrects a time that Cap somehow was too fucking stupid to speak of his ideals coherently to someone clearly less intelligent than your average 15 year old.

Right I remember that, wasn't he infiltrated as a worker but loved it?

IIRC it was because of the sense of community, and Cap being from the 40s was basically on the tail end of the great depression and angst over urbanization, and the romanticism movement. It makes sense he'd have Pepperidge Farm tier nostalgia

>Best quote
That is a lot of wasted breath. Sound and fury signifying nothing. Words upon of words of sheer nothing.
It can be summed in two sentences.
>Fuck democacy
>Be a radical terrorist of whatever religion you believe in

>>conviction = moral authority
By cap's logic suicide bombers are justified. So no.

>most misappropriated
You see that in this very thread

Make some edits and this would be better.

Like

"this nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what DOOM believes, no matter the odds or consequences"

Yeah he went undercover to spy, Cable knew about it but didn't throw him out because he thought he could convince him how great it was. He liked how everyone got to do what they wanted in life free from the burdens of labor thanks to Cables technology. He painted a sweet mural too.

This a better and more succinct version of it so no.

>only pseudo intellectuals on Sup Forums think Cap telling Spider-man to stand up for what he believes in also supports of acts of evil.

To be fair Cables shit worked because he had literal post scarcity super technology

Anyway the govt ruined all that eventually didn't it?

Fury tried to shut them down but Cable just kept convincing everyone that it was a really good idea. Then I think the Shi'ar blew it up?

But he's right though even if literally everyone thought something was correct does not actually factually make it so. Like hypothetically if everyone started to believe in one religion or everyone turned Aethist that would in way affect the truth of either belief, nor should those people's belief compel you to side with them.

Though granted most people (myself included) probably forgot that he specifies this principle for America based on its founding beliefs so maybe it's different.

That's why it's misappropriated.

This is the most quotable speech

Is that an edit? The font doesn't match up and I can't imagine Cap saying "dumb bitch" among other things.

Came to post this. More iconic,

>But also its issue is in its vagueness.
That's the point. Cap's political stances were intentionally vague, beyond basic shit like "don't be racist/homophobic/misogynist/Nazi" so anyone can pretend he stands for their views. He speaks in platitudes so as not to offend anyone.

Doesn't stop Nazis from pretending he stands for their views.

But the righties are racist, homophonic and Nazis, so he clearly can't be a rightie.

I don't know why people keep saying this ironically when you have all these prominent right wingers having their little white supremacist rallies and marches. This whole time they've been working off plausible deniability but every time someone like Richard Spencer opens his mouth they throw that all away.

Fuck off, pinko

Because maybe Spencer doesn't speak for them?

It's bad.
The idea one should not let others bully you into obedience or that public consensus makes sense. But the statement as it reads can basically be used to justify anything at all.

...

The statement is bully them back/first which is about as "blind leading the blind" as you can get.

SPBP

what you gon be
a general, a doctor
maybe an emcee

That's why it's the most misappropriated.

When you have a good thousand people who show up to back him, can you blame others for thinking he does?

New Deal Democrat I think is the canon.

A better question is... where does Stark fall on the political compass? And make no mistake, CW was perfectly in-character.

is it really even a "comic book quote" when in the context of the conversation, he is literally quoting Ben Franklin?

>Ben Franklin

Mark Twain
my bad

>look up Mark Twain quotes to see if you're right
>"If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of star dust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world's list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvellous fight in the world, in all the ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?"

Interesting fella.
