“Listen to me– all of you out there! You were told by this man– your hero– that America is the greatest country in the world! He told you that Americans were the greatest people– that America could be refined like silver, could have the impurities hammered out of it, and shine more brightly! He went on about how precious America was – how you needed to make sure it remained great! And he told you anything was justified to preserve that great treasure, that pearl of great price that is America!
“Well, I say America is nothing! Without its ideals– its commitment to the freedom of all men, America is a piece of trash! A nation is nothing! A flag is a piece of cloth! I fought Adolf Hitler not because America was great, but because it was fragile! I knew that liberty could be snuffed out here as in Nazi Germany! As a people, we were no different than them! When I returned, I saw that you nearly did turn American into nothing! And the only reason you’re not less then nothing– is that it’s still possible for you to bring freedom back to America!”
Wow. This was undoubtedly aimed at Ronald Reagan, but it’s like he was talking about Trump and Republicans. Note that he’s calling out the use of fear of “the other” and blind nationalism.
This is the Captain America the world actually needs right now
I wonder how it feels for Nick Spencer, who likes to think his writing is so very topical, that a comic from over twenty years ago has a more relevant and important take on Steve Rogers than anything he’s written about the character in his entire time working at Marvel
Griffin: can we - every time we do an episode, can we say one nice thing about each other?
Travis: *laughs*
Justin: just something sweet.
Griffin: like, Justin, your ceviche is the best ceviche I’ve had, and Travis-
Justin: I’ve never made that.
Griffin: -the muscles in your hands are like really big.
Travis: thank you.
Justin: [softly] I’ve never made ceviche for you. I don’t know why you would say things like that.
Griffin: you have made ceviche for me before; it was really good.
Justin: I have not. I have not made ceviche for you.
Griffin: you made me ceviche shrimp once!
Justin: I did not make you ceviche shimp once but thank you.
Griffin: you made - I fuckin’ ate cevi - if they… were those just raw shrimp I was eating out of your refrigerator?!
Justin: did I tell you guys about the text that I got from Dad?
#ok yes griffin absolutely edited out a bunch of them ribbing on him for eating raw shrimp #but we also need to address that griffin stole shrimp from his brothers fridge and considered it ‘made for him’
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
