They go from "the War on Terror is a scam and built on lies" (Iron Man) to "SHIELD is full of nazis" (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) to "CIA saves Wakanda".

Lmao you weren't kidding:
"After being handed the mantle of Captain America at the end of Avengers: Endgame (2019), Sam Wilson teams up with Bucky Barnes in a worldwide adventure that puts their abilities to the test as they fight the anti-patriotism group the Flag-Smashers."
Ah yes the thing people are clamoring to defend right now: patriotism.
EDIT: They're also including an ultra-militaristic patriotism villain as the counterbalance. This is literally both sides bad ism to triangulate people into the "correct" opinion.
Wow, I finally a favorite Marvel character.:
"Embarking on a campaign of self-described "anti-patriotism," Flag-Smasher founded an organization called U.L.T.I.M.A.T.U.M. (Underground Liberated Totally Integrated Mobile Army To Unite Mankind) designed to destroy the very concept of nationality and government, which Flag-Smasher believed to be the root of violent supremacy movements.
Though sometimes described on the page as an 'anarchist' due to his anti-statist agenda, Flag-Smasher is more accurately described as anti-nationalist, particularly considering his insistence on formal hierarchy in U.L.T.I.M.A.T.U.M. with him as the Supreme Commander."
He's also a staunch anti-communist on the basis of "it's also a state!"
Was that a later revision? It seems like he was initially created to be the antithesis of the Red Skull so he should have some commie leanings. Just look how this ANTIFA gigachad dares you to peep his ass.
