    This is literally the point of The Boys. What if normal greedy people held the power, what would that look like if they were superpowered.

    Didn’t USA come up with both characters? One in the 1930s and one now? More of a sign of the times I say.

      Yeah. The Boys is literally a hot take on current America. And it’s awesome. People that think this meme is clever have never seen the show. It’s basically the entire point of the show.

      That’s rich coming from a fucking terrorist himself. Dude blew up civilians too. Guess he knows what he’s talking about.

          Ya, the whole ’ oppressor’ v ’ oppressed’ narrative has caused some younger people to lose their understanding and morality. Mother fuckers are cheering for bin Laden and the Houthis right now, let alone Hamas. It’s completely fucked up. Those are the bad guys, there’s no way to argue otherwise reasonably.

            No, kids think terrorism is based because you boomers keep calling good people terrorists.

            PS: Israel and Hamas are on the same side. They both want a war. Every anti-Israel person is anti-Hamas, and every pro-Israel person is pro-Hamas. If Israel gave equal rights to Palestinians, nobody would give Hamas good press anymore. No new recruits. People would leave. Hamas’ existence is a choice Israel continues to make every day.

              So bin Laden, the Houthis and Hamas are good people?

              That’s who these people are cheering for. The Houthi flag is the call of the good guys?

              That you think Hamas wouldn’t exist if Israel provided equal rights, shows you are not familiar with the players involved here. Their charter says clearly otherwise, so do their actions. So does the entire history of the region. The goal is the removal of the Jewish people, same as it’s been for centuries. They’re not shy about sharing that either. You should listen to them.

                You boomers have really bad reading comprehension.
