  • Some choice lyrics from “If you own the Washington Redskins you’re a cock” by Atom and His Package:

    And you’ll go “Wah wah wah, you’re so PC” And I will say “Wait” Remind me again how it came to be That being “the stupid American” is a desirable trait

    Wouldn’t it be offensive if we cheered: “Rah rah rah” for the Carolina Negroes With a beatbox cheer and big foam afros? Or if the Minnesota Vikings became the New York Kikes With dollar bills on their helmets cause that’s what they like You know?

    “Atom, what about the Saints, Angels, Padres too? Ain’t that the same thing for Christians that’s offending you?”

    When there’s a Jesus Christ mascot dog shooting crucifixes Nailed to a cross, dying to save the team You’ll be right, you’ll be right But until then You’re. Not. Right


  • No you nailed it. The meme is a poor metaphor because it implies that the system has ever been superman or that OP believes it to have been superman.

    Or that capitalism only behaves like Homelander when times are tough.

    For many people Capitalism has always treated them like Homelander. For many people they’ve never seen the Superman fascade.

    So this meme reads as though the creator only recently learned some world history, or has some privilege in life but is becoming aware of reality for others.

    You could also fix it by just having Homelander say “I’m you!”
