Found this on a post about Superman: Red Son. Clicked on the person’s profile to see more and surprise surprise their account is suspended.
The replies have some interesting takes too.
In particular you see it in Red Son Superman’s approach to justice and punishment, how he values a person’s utility to society far more than their free-will or personal beliefs. Arguably mind control is better than capital punishment and forced labor as practiced by stalin before him, but it still comes from the same desire to beat people into obedience as though they are misbehaved dogs.

The only reason Superman even gets into mind control is because Brainiac is manipulating him in an attempt to get Superman to just up and take over the world
And Superman still doesn’t do it!, even with an entire museum’s worth of monsters and supervillians the USA sent after him
Like what the actual fuck is wrong with people that they miss that entire part of the book?
