The X-men comics are one of the most iconic comics of all time and have had many movies and different adaptations. The X-men for those of you who don't know are mutants who are famous for fighting against the oppressive government of the society that they were born into. I feel like they have a lot to show us about our own government. In the X-men comics, there are two types of groups fighting against this oppressive government. We have the X-men and Professor X who believes that if we work together we can find a solution and wants to fight for peace, understanding, and diplomacy. Then we have Magneto and his followers of mutants who believe there is a war coming and that we have to be prepared and that it's us (mutants) versus them (humans). This idea is no different the one in our country right now, we have a government that is filled with people who want predominantly white rich straight Christan males to run our country and just wants everyone else to just figure it out. Now as for our social justice warriors, we have two types of people those who still think there is hope to resolving our issues if we work together. Then there are those who think that the government can't be reasoned with and just want to fight because they believe if enough people rally around them and riot the government will have to change its mind. I believe that answer lies somewhere between the two because we should use diplomacy and reasoning to resolve things, but at the same time we can't just sit around and watch people get used and abused or get used and abused ourselves, but we also can't just go around yelling and scream and riot all the time either. So my solution is having meaningful conversations and peacefully protesting.
