Description
Welcome back to another episode of the Front Porch Philosophers podcast! Jared, Michael, and Raymond look into popular superhero lore and the political ideology called fascism. For decades there have been occasional critiques raised against superheroes for portraying images of fascism. They explore this critique and try to add some much-needed nuance to the conversation. They mostly talk about Batman, Ironman, and Captain America, but the hosts of the Front Porch Philosophers also briefly talk about Black Panther (which will get its own episode in the future!).
