That's a MAJOR FUCKING THING to have to walk back. Either gross journalistic negligence or intentional abetting of fascism.

The media is complicit.

The true culprit confesses to framing the man and another woman, and tries to shoot Superman.

He learns that the 'accomplice' is due to being executed within the hour. There is no time to rescue her through the proper channels, so he bypasses them and goes directly to the top: the governor.

Party to his plea of innocence, Superman chooses to avoid investigating altogether. His power and status, to him, precludes him from these methods.

His approach is the most logically efficient. No evidence collection, just going to see for himself if the prisoner is truthful. As it happens, he is.

Here he shows a respect and trust of the basic tenets of our judicial system, as he understands them. His chosen course of action here is in accordance with law-enforcement, of the presumption of innocence until found guilty, maintaining the state's custody of the suspect.

1. Superman enters journalism, not law-enforcement. This shows how he plans to target societal problems: in a pragmatic way, with extra-judicial access to crime and injustice without the constraints of law.

First, he responds to a lynch mob about to murder a wrongfully incarcerated man.

For instance, the morality of the Kents involve compliance with social welfare laws. They take him to an orphanage. Unlike later versions, the Kents don't see him as a self-serving gift sent from the heavens and hide him, they act responsibly, and then later go through the legal fostering system.

First and foremost, Superman did not begin as the demigod he has become today: he was ALMOST-indestructible. He was not infinitely strong. His morality was derived from American middle-class values of his time. He did not question his identity, he saw and accepted his innate power over humans.

So I'm writing a book about the cryptid we have in my hometown, and in my researches I have discovered that a tcg company has not only included it in their polemon-esque monster battle game, but have it depicted in that 90s Ken Sugimori style: BEHOLD!

Love the experience you get when trying to jump back into current Superman comic continuity. These succinct little expository summaries to catch you up are 🤌

I REALLY don't think these values exist on a Left vs Right spectrum, more of an Up vs Down. Up being mature, cultivated, aware; down being juvenile, vapid, and self-absorbed. Re: literature, it's pretty vital to be 'woke' or on the path towards it to produce something worthwhile...

Oh, yeah. Totally.

That's an uninstall for me, though.

If there is a more nuanced approach to my criticism and finger-pointing at established Democrat politicians, I am NOT INTERESTED.

White Christian interests are overwhelmingly represented in both parties, and more than a small amount of distaste for DEI can be found in the blue chairs.
