That guy in Black Panther who thinks hereditary monarchy with a side of ritual combat is a fucking stupid way to run a country. Iirc he also thinks it’s bad and wrong to be isolationist and leave comrades to die, plus he wants to overthrow the US hegemony by arming oppressed peoples all over the globe.

The movie ends with him repenting and then dying.

Cultural marxism isn’t like the pop culture of leftists though, — realising I’m not deep enough into the lore to give good examples of cultural marxism :sweat:
