So how far would freedom and equality go? If we keep pushing for it, we'd might as well not have laws or prisons, making everyone free to kill and hurt whoever they want, thus making a paradox for freedom. But on the other hand, if we restrict too much, we could end up like a dictatorship regime and no one wants to do what the Nazis have done. So basically we need a balance. If aliens come to Earth, can they be treated like humans? Well the aliens in this show can because just about all of them are humanoid with a few differences, they speak perfect english and most of them come in peace. But what about warmongering aliens who try to conquer the planet like the Nazis? And if we treat non-humans as citizens, what about animals? Should animals like cats, dogs and horses get equal treatment? Humans are in the animal kingdom after all. But what about plants and inanimate objects, can they get equal treatment too? And since humans are very capable of lying and evidence can be faked, how can we trust anything? It seems like we would have to experience stuff to know they're true. But the brain isn't a perfect recording device, so sometimes you can't even trust your own memory. And sometimes we hallucinate or mishear words. And we misunderstand stuff. Sometimes a dream can warp your mind to play along and convince you the dream is reality (until you wake up and remember what reality really is), so what if we're dreaming? And most fictional characters are written to act very real and the characters who never break the fourth wall believe that they are real, so how do we know if we are real or fiction? What if the DC Universe was real and in an alternate universe while we are part of a multiverse of fictional worlds? What if a witch was always wiping our memories and implanting lies? What if your friends and family had secrets they never tell you? What if I'm the main protagonist and everyone else in my life were supporting characters? What if everything we know is wrong? What if we were just avatars in a computer simulation? What if all our choices and obstacles were from some god playing with his toys? What if all the school textbooks were full of false information? Is this real life or fantasy? What's right and wrong? Has someone changed the timeline? Politics, contradictions, fiction and lies really raises questions about life, don't they?
