Re: Tony Stark

[(Anonymous)]

No, super-rich businessmen often don't give a shit about the GOP. Businessmen who are concerned about taxes and regulations cutting into their bottom line like the GOP. Billionaires do not care unless they are on a roll to take over the world. People like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffet, Mark Zuckerberg...you better bet they give no fucks about supporting the GOP. Tony always struck me an anti-all politics ever, tbh (or pre-Afghanistan, totally indifferent to politics). But he definitely opposes war and heavy duty military-industrial complex stuff. And supports environmentally friendly energy. Those are really the only hints we get of his politics. He's pretty apolitical.

Also, what's true for a majority isn't true for everyone. Not every businessman on earth is a Republican.

Thread starter here. I posited that he was conservative because RDJ is and he's claimed that Tony Stark is basically a cooler version of himself.

And he might be against war, but note that some Republicans, like Ron Paul, are as well. That and Iron Man is definitely written with a libertarian lean at the very least.

I agree with you. I'm not an expert on the character, but I can see definitely interpret Tony Stark's character a having libertarian lean. Even though libertarianism is a right-wing political view, it's still "progressive", in the fact that it sees government involvement as hindering social and individual freedom.

it's still "progressive", in the fact that it sees government involvement as hindering social and individual freedom.

There may be a geography-based difference in our understandings of the concept, but, uh, the progressive movement in the US is not one that has disparaged government involvement in anything/everything, historically speaking. Nor do I think that many of the people in and surrounding the Libertarian movement would classify themselves as such.

That's why I stuck a 'usually' in there. Also, being in favor of energy efficiency and anti-war doesn't make anyone a Democrat/liberal. Eisenhower famously spoke out against the military-industrial complex, and have you ever heard of the Bipartisan Energy Savings Performance Caucus? Rep. Cory Gardner (R) is a founder.
