Vol. 2 #12 - Capital Under the Cowl: Disguising History for Work and War Collective Action Comics

    • Society & Culture

Sometimes, you have to break a few omelettes to get to the eggs inside.

"Conventional wisdom" is a curious thing, and, in the United States, it's been deliberately constructed, shaped, and molded over the last 70+ years.

Patriotic imagery and severely lacking history curricula have joined forces to warp the perception of the US, leaving its citizens believing it to be a historical force for good. Obviously, this isn't the truth.

But, hey, you certainly wouldn't know it from this issue.
And, yes. It's the one with Captain America doing that thing you've heard about.
