History is of course valuable to learn, but as a criticism of the work this is almost precisely the "turn to the camera and say that he's the same kind of communist I am" tweet made flesh.



The referenced tweet: https://x.com/Tormny_Pickeals/status/965640850578575362

> Black Panther was a fine movie but its politics were a bit iffy. wouldve been way better if at the end the Black Panther turned to the camera & said "i am communist now" & then specified hes the exact kind of communist i am


I really appreciate you were able to recognize the tweet and give some context. I'm a bit slow, especially on Sunday mornings :) -- I still don't understand what OP means.

Do you have any ideas? Maybe its commie talk to say these aren't related to WWII?

Or maybe they find the article political?

Seems pretty straightforward to me, guy from country says people from other countries turned something complex into something simple for clickbait, documents it.


I actually have no idea, I was hoping someone else could fill us in.
