It endorses the worst aspects of the “War on Terror” including the idea high tech surveillance and torture keep us safe, that unilateral U.S. military power will save the world and that Americans needs to unite around patriotism to defeat its enemies. Ominously The Avengers can be seen as ideologically not just glorifying existing U.S. wars but helping to prepare the country for the next World War. </p></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-1 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Geography:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/geography/global/international">Global/International</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/geography/australia">Australia</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-vocabulary-5 field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Keywords:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/keywords/the-avengers">The Avengers</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/keywords/us-militarism">U.S. militarism</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/indymedia.org.au/drupal/keywords/hollywood">Hollywood</a></div></div></div> Mon, 18 Jun 2012 10:43:42 +0000 Sasha Brown 6356 at http://localhost/indymedia.org.au/drupal
