Why does the United States of America keep children at its southern border? Why did Ronald Reagan give millions of dollars a day to fascists in El Salvador? Why does the Black Widow want a fake ID? It's all for Tony Stark. For the current count of children held at the US border: https://healthdata.gov/widgets/ehpz-xc9n Erratum: The Trump administration assassinated Qasem Soleimani on Jan. 3rd, 2020, not 2021 as was stated in the episode. I'm a doofus who likes to type dates wrong and then read them that way on the air.

Tony Stark knows you better than you know yourself. In this age of sensors, cameras, and speculative markets, everything we do is catalogued and sold to the highest bidder. Unlike the Earth in this issue, our privacy isn't being invaded. We're giving it up willingly.

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. ---------- Email: [email protected] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/collectiveactioncomics Twitter: https://twitter.com/CAComixPod

In the corporate-funded presentation of politics, the actions of a "destined" few among the "everyday" many are highlighted and made to seem necessary and inevitable. This is reinforced by an entertainment industry that delivers these narratives in flashy and convincing ways. This trope of the "heroes" being removed from or above the masses serves only those currently benefitting from our belief in it. Further, any "hero" speaking truth to those in power can be undercut in so many ways, and can never properly represent us. *We* are the only ones who can save the world.
