But let&#8217;s face it, these details don\u2019t matter. The left&#8217;s <a title=\"Daniel Penny: A Real Hero.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/daniel-penny-real-life-hero\/\">ceaseless leftward march runs<\/a> on reductive imagery. Poke the right until it bites, snap a picture of it, and use it to win. The left is now trying to do this with its manufactured image of Daniel Penny\u2019s arrest. It wants us to see a brusk, racist, out-of-control white man finally, thankfully, corrected by the rainbow alliance.<\/p>\n<h3>The Backfire of Manufactured Images<\/h3>\n<p>But not every manufactured image works out the way they want it to. When Bernie Goetz shot four black subway attackers in the 1980s, the left painted him as a crazed racist, but he became, much to their surprise, a local hero among New Yorkers regardless of race or politics. And now, the image of Daniel Penny is blowing up in their faces. In the image, Penny looks like a superhero oppressed by a dark and grumpy empire. It has already sparked $2.4 million and counting in GiveSendGo donations. None of the attempts to control the damage worked. Penny still looks like a total Chad, and everyone knows it.<\/p>\n<h3>The Rise of Superheroes<\/h3>\n<p>Every now and then, an actual superhero appears. They\u2019re not super because of their physical powers, but because of their heightened image in our <a title=\"The 3 Biggest Softballs The Media Asked The Biden Administration This Week\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-3-biggest-softballs-the-media-asked-the-biden-administration-this-week\/\">collective consciousness<\/a>. In being instantly elevated to myth status, Daniel Penny isn\u2019t \u201clike a superhero,\u201d he actually is one. Our love of superheroes betrays an innate populist intelligence. It reflects an overwhelming frustration at our loss of control, especially in the cities. Only an individual with great powers \u2014 powers that match that of industrialized urbanity itself \u2014 can save us.<\/p>\n<h3>The Supervillain<\/h3>\n<p>Supervillains, usually out of resentment from past wrongs, decide to take out their fury on the world by trying to conquer it. George Soros, a \u201cglobal citizen,\u201d never sets foot on the streets of cities he corrupts by electing ultra-liberal DAs that refuse to enforce the laws. Soros isn\u2019t \u201clike a supervillain,\u201d he literally is one. He\u2019s driven by a genuine hatred of humanity.<\/p>\n<h3>The Big Character Poster<\/h3>\n<p>The Daniel Penny arrest photo is an American Big Character poster. His stated crime is racist violence, but this is obvious fiction. In reality, his crime is being white, strong, and bold enough to stand up to the regime\u2019s drug-addled shock troops, on whose behalf they willingly destroy entire cities. But unlike a Big Character Poster, an image speaks words of its own. In warping truth, the regime has flipped a hero into a villain.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s something different about Penny. They were meant to be images of fear and division, but they were transmuted into images of strength and honor. We\u2019re naturally drawn to them, these strong horses next to weak ones. They both did something we all yearn to do \u2014 a fulfillment of the hopes we pin on dreams and superheroes: First, to <a title=\"'Demon Slayer' anime series celebrates masculinity similar to Daniel Penny.\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/japanese-anime-series-demon-slayer-celebrates-masculinity-like-daniel-pennys\/\">protect innocent people<\/a> against bodily harm. Second, to stand up to an oppressive regime. And third? To look great doing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The left employs images to support their cause, such as Rosa Parks and George Floyd.
