Just commented about this on reddit, but at the conclusion of the attack by the Sons of Liberty at the DMV, as the celebration is happening there is a quick scene of a famous German Tavern called "The Red Lion". This might add to the whole German nazi theory.
Had the same “Oooooohhh, I see where we’re going, here” moment this week. I’m expecting some serious Homelanderesque meltdowns on the internet in the coming months.
Yes, I expect a lot of “Why’d this show about a government-hired masked vigilante/assassin who wears a ‘dove of peace’ on his chest and weapons, has a pet bald eagle, comes from a family of white supremacists, and is going through a deep identity crisis oriented around toxic masculinity, suddenly feel like it could get all political? I was just here for the superheroics! How dare they!”
Well, it turns out I was right. I'm not sure why you assumed that I have an "anti-white male woke worldview." However, I'm definitely against eliminating people of color from society, and I also observed that this alternative society, as presented in the show, looked very different from my observed world and the world of Peacemaker as established in the DCU-Prime.
Congrats on being correct...I haven't seen the episode yet, I live in a country of brown people doing missionary work, so not available yet....
why do i think you are woke?..this statement actually
" It’s easy to see parallels in American history from the masked robes of the KKK to the face masks of the ICE agents who are currently invading our cities. '
Antifa is white men and masked.....the vast majority of Palestine protesters were masked,
spiderman is masked, batman is masked of course i could go on..but you get my point...
but you choose to jump to white supremacy....which have about 50 hillbilly members currently in the USA....
If you see duly appointed law enforcement officers, enforcing laws the a democratic
congressed passed, and signed by a democratically elected President , who are forced to wear masked so their family is not assassinated, or housed burned...or shot at work by crazy left wing nut job, which just happened 4 days ago ...as invaders doing evil deeds then you are woke.......
so both things can be true....I enjoyed your article, it was really insightful and well written, but from a woke point of view......but if you do not want your readers to
think you are woke, then don't make blatantly woke statement
It is not a crime to be woke, the world needs both conservative and woke people like yourself to be balanced....
but i will leave you with this......
"to they own self be true, and i life unexamined is not worth living...
you might want to reflect on your true feelings and own them
As an American I can assure you that white supremacy is one of the major operating veins of our country’s ideology. It’s why I jumped, correctly, to the theory that I did. Gunn was utilizing imagery that has deep roots in my country’s history.
I have no interest in debating the politics of ICE, but I would encourage you to consider the following:
1. Not everything the state does is legal.
2. Not everything that is legal is right.
As the child of an immigrant and someone who just days ago watched as ICE agents physically assaulted his own neighbor, a legal Mexican immigrant, with no justification other than the color of his skin, I speak from personal experience of the terror these masked officers are inflicting on my community and family.
I don’t know what “woke” means, it has been co-opted to mean just about anything. But if it means that I’m someone who writes about racial inequity throughout American history with accuracy and honesty, especially as it pertains to a show that is explicitly about the rise and institutionalization of white supremacy in America… then fine. I’m happy for people to walk away from my writing thinking I’m “woke.”
well... first just because i think you are woke doesn't mean I cannot appreciate your insights...but if you would rather me not give my opinions ...I can stop,..I thought you might be interested in free exchange of opinions..let me know if I'm mistaken...I came upon this page by chance, so
i can leave, just let me know
anyone in america is a child/decedent of an immigrant, and white supremacy mostly exist in the minds of the woke, kinda like worrying about the Goths and vandals...the bogey man just isn't a thing anymore....
is there a few nut jobs on the right...sure....but in a country of 300 hundred million they are a small rounding error in number....I have never met one, never talked to one....more of a shibboleth
I will take your word about your neighbor, and yeah that is unfortunate
and that is regrettable.....full stop...I agree with you a state can do evil things, and do illegal things....but there are far more evil things than enforcing immigration laws.....I would argue those laws are just and fair....
you would not....that is why will have elections, so you can vote in people to change those laws... not a perfect system, just better than any other system
but tell my how would you enforce the law and remove 7-10 million illegal immigrants?.....That is not a trick question..one I think about myself...I
do not like mask government agents either...but I just don't see anymore plausible way to deport illegal aliens.....
finally every story needs a hero and a villain....circa 2025 the only group that the woke can use is white males, and jews .......as they are on bottom of the hierarchy of oppressed groups......
Referring to masked ICE agents as parallel to masked vigilante supervillains who believe they are heroes is absolutely appropriate and a comparison the former have earned. The irony of a Tyler Durden advocating for the separation of fiction and reality is almost too obvious to remark upon.
Excellent analysis! Thank you Dan and the Decoding TV team. Can’t wait to watch the rest of the season with you guys

Good catch!

Interesting take, but I'm reminded if all you have is a hammer the world looks like nail....
if all you have is anti white male woke worldview, then of course the alternative universe has to be flawed , and crawling with white supremacist...
There are other possibilities....his dad had emotional growth and changed his world view?
in this universe racism is not a big deal?
but you might be right..we will see

Cool except for comparing them to ICE AGENTS…which many are brown and black…leave the real world stuff out of a fictional tv show🙄
Referring to masked ICE agents as parallel to masked vigilante supervillains who believe they are heroes is absolutely appropriate and a comparison the former have earned. The irony of a Tyler Durden advocating for the separation of fiction and reality is almost too obvious to remark upon.
