after St. Louis police unions instructed officers to publicly display The Punisher’s insignia (the mark of a lawless, fascist murderer) the comic book community was quick to point out the stupidity, and the frankly horrifying message sent by supposed peace officers endorsing a maniac. So it’s a good thing The Punisher personally confirms he hates cops who see him as a friend… making every cop who “wears his mark” or calls themselves a “fan” look like shameful fool in the process.
– Andrew Dyce, The Punisher Confirms: He HATES Cops Who Support Him
He’s definitely a lawless murderer, and the types of cops that display his insignia certainly seem to lean fascist, but what makes the Punisher fascist?
Believes might makes right? But I read the headline here that he’s a fascist-murderer not a Fascist who is a murderer
Yeah, a murderer who targets fascists is how i read it.
Great point - I hadn’t considered that reading of it…
I think in this case “fascist” means “anything I don’t like.” You know, like “socialism”.
