Daredevil's Virtues are Flawed Storytelling
by Wholesome Rage | 30 January 2019
Batman and Daredevil are extremely similar characters. But Batman is an icon, and Daredevil is maybe a B-lister on a good run.
Why?
There’s some differences. Daredevil has his blind-sense, sure, and Batman has working eyes. Daredevil has God and the Church, and Batman has more money than both.
Otherwise they’re incredibly similar.

Sex and Socialism

Something that keeps popping up in the periphery of the other research I’m doing is how social movements progress a lot faster outside of a capitalist framework. Look, I didn’t mean to end up an insufferable hippy, but here we are and the best penance I can hope to do here is kind of track the evidence that got me to this point, so it’s more easily forgivable. I mentioned in last week’s article about Bush that East Germany’s LGBT rights far outpaced the West’s, and that was lost when the wall fell and capitalism was re-implemented. This is also true of racial relations; I plan on writing about Oliver Harrington at some point, and other black people who sought political asylum in the USSR. In Cuba, as well, you found that even though Castro was extremely homophobic, Cuban society developed progressive LGBT rights at a rate far outpacing that of the West. How did LGBT rights move faster under a homophobic autocrat?
I kept finding it weird when I came across it when I read around these subjects – for race, for gender, for sexual minority rights – but I hadn’t found a good work to directly tie a lot of these observations together.
