Proof that political messaging is sometimes in the eye of the beholder.

LINK

quote:

What many conservatives will quickly realize upon a closer inspection of Wakandan culture is that the character of T’Challa resembles the socio-political worldview of the alt-right.


TLDR: Black Panther is essentially this guy:



quote:

Firstly, Black Panther is anti-globalist. Black Panther’s moral coda is steeped in a strong nationalistic conviction that constantly places the wellbeing of his people’s history, culture, and identity over any external attempts at opening up the culture and economy of Wakanda, the fictional African country in the Marvel universe.

Wakanda is a hierarchal society that’s intentionally racially homogeneous, and its immigration policy is essentially isolationist. Other cultural influences are not permitted within Wakandan borders, as Black Panther believes them to be harmful to the wellbeing of his people.


quote:

Instead of diversity, T’Challa ensures that the border of Wakanda is impregnable & that its population remains nearly exclusively Wakandan. Instead of globalism, Wakanda is an isolationist country. The patriarchal monarchy of Wakanda thrives on the backs of traditional family units, with T’Challa himself being a straight male with a positive relationship with his father, who had been married to a woman.


Ok, I may actually go see this movie.

The idea of the histrionics that will ensue if places like 4chan turn Black Panther into a symbol of the "alt-right" is almost too funny to comprehend. The sky would be literally shaking from the screams.

It's only a matter of time before 4chan realizes how great a troll it would be to appropriate Black Panther as an Alt Right symbol.

LOL this is exactly what needs to happen. Turn Black Panther into an alt-right poster boy and watch how quickly the the media loses its fricking mind.

It's why him and Cap got along in the comics so well, mutual appreciation of each other's pride in their countries

Seems like a lot of people in this country should learn a lesson from him.

Pol already has said good things about this movie. They're shilling for it hardcore calling it /OurMovie/ and shareblue has already noticed and just began the counter attack.

It's not wrong. Azari, T'Chaka, and T'Challa have always been isolationist leaders.

The main reason is and was to prevent other nations from invading and poaching their primary resource, vibranium (the rarest and most versatile mineral on Earth in Marvel).

T'Challa is actually the LEAST isolationist of his line.

You would think the left would have chosen Blade as the movie they're hoping Black Panther to be.

I've been saying this a long time, I don't see any moral problem with any group adopting this model, be they black, white, asian, jew, muslim, etc. As long as they don't war on their neighbors, let them be.

I think the bad guy is an anti-colonialist/globalist revolutionary progressive who wants to overthrow the patriarchy and change Wakanda ideologically.

Hmmmm
