Vol.2 #4 - Role of Thunder: Left-Wing Fury as Performance Politics
from Collective Action Comics · host Collective Action Comics
In the corporate-funded presentation of politics, the actions of a "destined" few among the "everyday" many are highlighted and made to seem necessary and inevitable. This is reinforced by an entertainment industry that delivers these narratives in flashy and convincing ways. This trope of the "heroes" being removed from or above the masses serves only those currently benefitting from our belief in it. Further, any "hero" speaking truth to those in power can be undercut in so many ways, and can never properly represent us. *We* are the only ones who can save the world.
