You know I'm not the only person here who has objected to this topic right?

Why does that matter? Why did you need to ask this question for your own personal reassurance? Why?

At least I'm not making blatant troll topics designed to piss off people who aren't crazy

Who's getting pissed off?

OP is extreme and probably intended to do a bit of trolling, but it's also not an invalid criticism of the character.

Steve Rogers chooses to wear a political symbol as part of his costume. His entire identity promotes the values of the United States. It's perfectly within reason to bring up all the bad that's associated with that, and the comics themselves aren't above criticizing America either. Hell, Steve Rogers has, in the past, straight up given up the traditional costume for a time because he had lost his faith in what America stood for.

So you even want even fair civil discourse to be silenced. Seems anti democracy and pro facism kinda behavior. Did you not get the message?

There's Civil discourse and there's being inflammatory on purpose to start an argument.

I wouldnt be so offended if people didn't act like I was fundamentally wrong for protesting.

You silence my opinions by saying I'm "dumb" and "ignorant." You're being a hypocrite.

All of the opinions you've expressed in this topic are "you guys are bitter" and "I like america"

You'd probably come off as less ignorant if you were able to extrapolate your opinions beyond vague outrage at the sight of people who disagree with you, lol

This, we saw that during the "lockdowns" when he kept saying he was afraid the government would use nukes on us to enforce quarantine. A number of people tried explaining to him why that wouldn't happen and his response was to ignore everyone.

He doesn't want discussion or anything like that. He wants enablers.

Depends on what you protest, why, and what you actually advocate for. If you stand for oppression, subjugation, censorship, classism, bigotry, facism, etc.. and align yourself with people and / or groups of such values chances are you'll get a lot of hate and opposition, and for good reason. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you are "punching down" at people who have been wronged and / or are just standing up for themselves and want to be treated fairly chances are you are in and the wrong and should avoid doing things that led up to that in the future.

Also if you can't do what what is morally right or sometimes if it feels like it may not make a difference, it's best to not get involved and / or not choose a side at all. All of this should be common sense to anyone who is reasonable anyway.

Whether or not it's morally right to care about this country is an opinion, clearly one we have a difference in.

Yeah he stands for the best of what America could be, but he doesn't blindly and jingostically support EVERYTHING America does. He criticizes America any time it doesn't live up to its own principles and gets angry at the greed and capitalism that often defines the leadership of the country.

Notice how he is a literal superhero and has power, influence, and a platform to advocate for change yet he chooses righteous indignation instead of really doing something about it to evoke change in the story. I wonder why? Obviously it's a work of fiction, but why do you think Marvel did this?

Same reason Reed Richards can't cure cancer. And why none of the Golden Age heroes were ever able to stop Hitler. The comics can't go too far and trivialize real world issues

They sure can use being a victim of the holocaust as an origin story for evil characters, though.

he did try to use his power and influence to fight for American's freedom, and civil war happened.

This, entirely. His title could've been Rear-Admiral Stinkbug and he still would've been my favorite character in the MCU.

EDIT: Oh and there are also people treating either like they're real people and not a fictional character.
