currently reading through the comic, and its really great, but im confused as to why the immortal and a bunch of other heroes are trying to stop rex’s control over the usa (and maybe the entire world? but thats not been totally clarified yet). Rex’s way of doing things really isnt very different to the way that government works all over the world already, and from the looks of things, he’s doing it better. The government is already an organisation that operates above the people it governs and controls their lives, and people already dont get much of a say in how that governing is done. We have elections, sure, but thats just representative and is just choosing whoever is the most powerful person in a given country, but we dont really have a lot of agency in exactly what that person does after they are elected. and as for killing a lot of heroes, any other government would have done the same thing if people tried to rise up against them. it just seems to me that if the goal of the resistance is just to go back to how it was before, all they are really doing it making things worse. I mean, immortal was literally abe linclon, he should know how this stuff works. All that being said, i havent fully finished the arc just yet, so maybe im wrong about a few things.
i mean, i dont wanna get overly political cos i dont wanna get banned, and im meant to just be talking about the story here, but earth is kinda already run mostly by genocidal maniacs. the various governments of the world, especially the most powerful ones, have killed millions and millions of people in the name of defense, and continue to do so to this day. im not saying rex’s way is the best way, im just saying its better than how it was before
Please don’t be so politically apathetic, if you think everything is so fucked don’t act like you have no power, use your power! Vote, participate in protests, support organizations working against the atrocities of those in power. Many governments have fallen to the power of the people, so never think you’re powerless
No it isn’t lol.
Bro, do you live under a fucking rock?
