I should have said "one of the reasons". And it's certainly simplistic, and Superman and Captain America specifically are only one prominent aspect of a larger problem. But ultimately I do think that the way that Americans tend to think through politics is a major cause of the current state of affairs, and the John Wayne cowboy Superman stuff is fairly deeply embedded in our culture and our worldview and is a significant mode of that failure of thinking.

This is way too vague for me to agree or disagree, but people are scared and tired and I don't think there's really anything political about what people wish would happen when they cry themselves to sleep.

Don't the John Wayne types usually help characters who can't do anything to help themselves? Do you think those situations don't exist, because I really don't feel right now that there is any one definitive thing we could have done to stop this that wasn't done for reasons of expecting someone else to save us.
