One by one your historical institutions and cultural references will crumble and become weakened. Patriotism will be replaced with subversive obedience to foreign whims.
Soft, weaklings will of course support such initiatives. They'd never stand on the wall regardless.
CNN’s in-house media pundit Brian Stelter defended DC Comic’s polarizing decision to drop "the American way" from Superman’s slogan, saying "that kind of ethnonationalism" might not be right for the iconic comic-book character going forward.
Superman has stood for "truth, justice and the American way" for over 80 years but DC Comics recently announced the new motto would be "truth, justice … and a better tomorrow."
The change reflects a broader, more global vision for the world of Superman, DC’s chief creative officer and publisher Jim Lee said Saturday, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Stelter said the "American way" part of the phrase came during World War II when patriotism was prevalent.
"That was a logical move when, you know, there was this world war. I think now the message is, this is a global franchise, this is a franchise looking to the future, and that kind of ethnonationalism, you know, perhaps is not the right style going forward," Stelter said Tuesday on "New Day."
"I do think it’s partly about appealing to a global box office," Stelter added. But, hey, who can argue against a better tomorrow? What’s so bad about a better tomorrow?"
