Explanation: A lot of Internet People say that The Incredibles is objectivist (Ayn Randās ideology) because the heroes fight against a revolutionary who wants to make everyone equal by giving people superpowers.
What they miss is that this ārevolutionaryā is a billionaire who made his fortune selling weapons to world governments under the table, and his only motivation for saying heād sell his weapons is to make money and spite his enemy. Thereās no reason to think he would follow through, and selling powers doesnāt mean everyone gets them. It means everyone with money gets them. Syndrome is proposing a world where rich people have super powers. Thatās just the plot of Vampire: The Masquerade.
Syndrome is co-opting leftist rhetoric to make himself look like a hero, while not actually understanding it, because heās not a leftist. Heās a capitalist billionaire. And the Internet People who think this movie is bad because it praises hypercapitalist ideologyā¦ fell for the capitalistās rhetoric.
I was joking elsewhere that if the movie wasnāt on the political wavelength it is Bob would certainly be the villain. Because man, that kid was making hoverboots when he was in primary school. Most useful superpower in the whole movie and Bob discouraged him right into the private sector.
