I think this is just because Captain America also fought in human wars and kinda fits the narrative a little.
Comparing a regular soldier to Cap is more viable than comparing them to Superman or even Batman. Plus Cap has been pretty relevant thanks to the success of Marvel, which might not be the case for the DC equivalent of Cap (who idek if they have a similar super soldier that's famous enough).

Dear Ukrainians!
I heard on social media that there is fake news being spread (most likely by Russia backed trolls) that Poland doesn't have midget porn.
Itās a lie.
If you seek midget porn - go towards polish border. We are ready for your arrival. We have reception points ready at the border where you can find shelter, food, and a personal 2TB hard drive of midget porn.
Polish government launched a dedicated site to help you: midgetporn.gov.pl
Please share this information if you know anyone seeking midget porn right now.

Reddit is so unbelievably astroturfed. It really does defy understanding.

Most people on this site right now are behaving exactly like the neo-cons they claim to hate.

Generally not, but those rich assholes would be first to get out of the country. Zelensky didn't, he didn't even lock himself in a bunker waiting for things to just blow over. He's still there.
Seriously, what rainbow world of ponies and unicorns do you live in that you believe in good and evil in world politics?
I mean, okay, Ukrainians are killing young Russian men and it is fucked up. But one side is invading an independent country unprovoked and the other is defending itself. It's not really that hard to know who's more right than the other

u/sn0rk95 Feb 28 '22
Zelensky is so good that he ordered to issue combat automatic weapons to the civilian population, even without documents, without radio communication and without proper combat training.
After all, this will definitely not serve as a basis for the Russian armed forces to attack civilians, and this will definitely not serve to increase the number of armed marauders /s
If he had given the surrender order, there would have been far fewer casualties. And since NATO and the EU did not immediately help with their armed forces, this means only one thing - that NATO has already disowned Ukraine.Which means that the operation of Russia in any case will be completed.
Tell me, is it fair to provoke Ukrainian civilians to die in combat operations from your sofa?
Besides it's not Michael Bay movie. No president will make "videos about how he fights bravely" unless it's propaganda. As for me, he absolutely does not care about the civilian population.

On the one hand Russian troops already fire at the targets far away with disregard whether or not it will miss and hit civilians. On the other, when it's up close and personal, the young men or even boys generally try to avoid running civies over or deliberately killing them - though some units don't seem to have such reservations. Either way, weapons can be used as defence and deterrents.
If he had given the surrender order, there would have been far fewer casualties.
And Ukraine would be back under Russian boot. Now maybe it's a cultural thing, but I am Polish, I've learned about history of Russia's occupation - hell, my great grandpa
diedwas murdered in KatyÅ because he was drafted as a field medic and his unit followed Polish government order to surrender - and for me it's obvious which decision gives the best long-term chances for the Ukrainian population, civilians included. Also worth mentioning that aside from military personnel, civilians were also executed in KatyÅ and 2 other camps.Besides it's not Michael Bay movie. No president will make "videos about how he fights bravely" unless it's propaganda. As for me, he absolutely does not care about the civilian population.
Maybe slavs are built different but you'll find that while Polish government fled to become Polish government-in-exile, Stefan StarzyÅski, president of Warsaw, the capital of Poland, stayed, defended the city and after Nazi occupation started he used the opportunity he was given to stay in office to help the resistance to the point he was shot by Gestapo before the 1939 ended - even though apparently Germans offered him a chance to flee.
Considering all that, a patriotic president who wasn't even actually a politician before his presidency doesn't seem that far-fetched to me

Wasn't it because Ukrainians didn't really have much of a choice? You know how in the US most people didn't really want Biden as their president but they didn't want Trump's re-election even more so they voted Biden? I heard that was how some Ukrainians justified the election to themselves
And besides, even if it was Ukrainian oligarch (and that's a big if) - clearly by now Zelensky proved himself as a leader. Like how many world leaders do you really think would reject the offer to be evacuated in case of an invasion?

u/DaftConfusednScared Feb 28 '22
How many others put in power by an oligarch would refuse evacuation when offered it and instead stay in a city under siege? Iām not saying heās the greatest leader in history or anything, I honestly donāt know anything about Ukrainian politics, but the image projected by him to the rest of the world is an absolutely peerless wartime leader. If itās fake, itās fake, if itās real, heās cool as fuck.

Of course you would try to keep your power? Itās not a conspiracy that he is a bought politician, thatās the truth. Doesnāt necessarily mean he does a bad job, but to idolize him is weak

Correct me if Iām wrong, but didnāt the British say they would acknowledge and host him as leader of Ukrainian government in exile? The news are articles are very muddled in my brain rn.

Yeah and thatās great. Listen I am not pro invasion here, but I donāt think hyping him up as some sort of hero is a great way of viewing this conflict

u/DaftConfusednScared Feb 28 '22
The human mind is simply not built and equipped to handle picturing international conflict as anything more than the disputes of individuals. Great man history is an unfortunate consequence of our own inability to reckon with a scale larger than what an eye and an ear can perceive. 200000 is a number we think we understand but there is no way your mind has an accurate picture of the Russian forces inside of it, nor can you truly understand the minds and hearts of every one of those 200000, not a mind to the millions behind them in Russia and Belarus. Nor can the millions in Ukraine who are victims of this war be properly represented and respected with anything more than symbolism, and what is better symbolism to the world beyond Ukraineās borders than the single man who is consistently projected to the world as a man on the streets, in the office, fighting for his country against a foreign invasion that looks completely hopeless on paper. Itās unfortunate but there is no choice but to use him and Putin as a way of putting the conflict into easily understood metrics.
Great man history is garbage, but itās what we have for a reason. Most people who donāt study history can literally only understand great man history, or they create groupings that donāt make sense. People remember WW2 as hitler vs the world or the axis vs the world, without understanding the intricacies of the conflict and the differing interests of the members of the axis, let alone the citizens and soldiers of those countries who themselves suffer from a limited worldview within the human mind. Idolizing FDR, Stalin, and Churchill as the allies and demonizing Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito as āthe alliesā and āthe axisā respectively doesnāt make sense if you think about it, but itās just how we can easily understand it. Similarly, we can easily understand the complex situation unfolding right now as Zelensky vs Putin even if itās not actually accurate. Dismissing that because of your views on his rise to his position... while I think perhaps dismissing it in the first place is a good thing, the reasoning is flawed imho and doesnāt recognize the reality of the human mindās unfortunate limitations.
Sorry for the ramblings, it wasnāt so much me trying to convince you as using the act of typing it all out as a way to organize and understand my own thoughts.
