No, actually, I think you just proved you’re the dense one.

I give as good as I get. I don’t get much, I don’t give much.

Yeah, you’ve made it pretty obvious you don’t get much.

No, they’re saying the specific choices Gunn made with the story is politicizing it. Making it a direct, near 1-1 allegory with two major conflicts in the world right now is a touch on the nose.
… but that said, it’s still a stupid position to hold. There is a lot of bad crap going on in the world. Chances are, most scripts with Superman doing his thing would have some association to current events, since it’s set in a world close to “now” IRL.
Wanting entertainment to be devoid of modern politics yet set in current time is just silly. It takes drastically different settings to make it easy to have both a compelling story with conflict and devoid of modern politics.
