Cap is awkward in that he has a lot of good speeches about standing up for what's right and holding true to one's principles and all sorts of great things, but he's ultimately a fictional character written by people that at least tend to the left, so their moral code of absolute tolerance of [current thing] becomes his moral code as well even when one might think it wouldn't make sense for him to have that code. It's a problem with all super heroes in the modern industry, really, and to a certain degree even from its very inception. I love a lot of these characters, but I have to acknowledge that most of the people that write them—blatantly and in an over-the-top way now, but even going back historically you can probably find examples—are lefties that do allow their views to leak into the writing.

Modern Red Skull is kinda funny because he makes too much sense. I loved those excerpts.
He was literally the first "punch nazis" guy
