Should there be a new political spectrum for mutants?

[tuck frump]

I thin Colossus actually hit Pixie on panel once. Anyway it was very convenient for Cyclops to rebel against the USA on behalf of a group he was the uncontested leader of and which was essentially comprised of traumatized children. Where do we put use of child soldiers on the political compass?

Was there another political group being the victim of death squads and giant robots sponsored by the government?

Emo kids In the early 2000s :/

[Mutant God]

No.
Stick to fighting bad guys.

But the country is not full of good people, some of the population on Krakoa are bad guys who could gain more power in a bad situation, not everyone on Krakoa is a X-Men (X-Men are a minority within their own people lol)

[Maestroneto]

Agreed. Jean is really messed up.



The confederates declared war on america too.

Are you pro-cop???

Stop ablooing me.

...... nvm.


Magneto is a monarchist.

Genosha and house of m were monarchies and monarchies are general considered ‘right’ (though not really American right so much.) Now that he’s in charge (or at least prince consort ) he probably wants everyone to respect the government authority and what Krakoa cops/soldiers/CIA/x-force there is...he has his own estate, bigger then the ‘peasants’ on the island...hmm...interesting...

Constitutional monarchies.*

The people of England may love William and Kate, but they sure as hell would draw the line at William and Kate giving decrees.

You guys are starting to get into a good topic, how in general action-based or superpower fiction doesn't do great with the politics. Like Hickman wrote in some handwavey dialogue , recognizing in-universe the Quiet Council isn't fully democratic nor is it meant to be permanent. But until we actually get something that IS....

However I still maintain Magneto is on the left, what you're saying is basically a version of the people accusing Lenin of not being on the left because he "became an important government official after the revolution". It's rather preposterous really although there may be SOMETHING there worth considering. (Magneto being in charge of Genosha or Krakoa is because he is still trying to develop and boost mutantkind and challenge humanity's oppressive stranglehold over the globe, not simply to enrich himself or glorify himself although sure there may be some of that and it ought to be investigated and critiqued).

He didn't connect, but he took a swing:



And he did rough Cyclops up:

thank u. Colossus reminds me of the fact cops have a higher probability of beating their wives and kids then the rest of the population.

Cyclops has no love for arabs either.


Or gay kids.

[terrancejameson]

let me guess. It wasnt her fault and she didnt mean it.

I fuckin screamed! Omg not Jean seeing Ororo in traditional repressive head coverings that shamed black women covering up their hair because of the perceptions around beauty. She makes sure to note that Ororo's name is meant to mean beauty, but she also sees Ororo with features commonly associated with the average black woman of full lips, a wide nose and deep brown eyes. Jean Grey has been leveling her brand of white feminists agendas against Ororo for quite some time.
