I just re-watched v for vendetta cause it's the 5th of November. I haven't watched it in a decade. I remembered it as a good movie. I was wrong. It reminded me that the woke propaganda started way earlier than the 2010s. The idiocy was already there in the mid 2000's.
In this 2006 movie, there's a homo honoring the Quran (more or less). The villains are conservative Christians who are against immigration. There's a big emphasis on the victimization of gays. The only female villain is excused for her crime and given an honorable death. Honestly, the only thing missing would be more POC and then this could easily pass up as a modern movie. It was made by the Wachowski after all so it was to be expected. Surprise! Both turned into trannies like the bots that they are (one as early as 2008).
Ironically, the plot revolved around a government that used the release of a man-made virus to take over the country and restrict freedom. They control the police, the media, etc. Basically modern day bs but with the roles of oppressors/oppressed reversed.
The average Millennial and Gen Xer has been slowly brainwashed by narratives like this for years so it's no wonder now that when they came into power, they attacked who they've been told is the enemy. They turned themselves into the mindless villains along the way because the message of V is not to bring justice and restore order but to punish and virtue signal in the hope that someone else will fix it. Blow up the parliament, sure, but what do you do after is what's supposed to be important. Don't persecute the lgbtq and let them speak sure...but what if what they had to say wasn't worth hearing. What if in fact it was detrimental to the rest of the nation. What if it was so loud that what anyone else said wasn't heard anymore..so loud that it buried reason itself. Here we are.
And wasn't it actually created by Moore, the Watchmen guy? And just like with Watchmen, everything about what was wrong with that world politically was absolute projection from him?
Remember, according to Moore Rorschach is supposed to be completely in the wrong and everyone who likes him in any way is wrong and evil.
In a world of rape, nukes, and genocide, the real evil is believing in morality.
Yeah he supposedly lost faith in humanity when people didn't hate rorschach
Irony being that the character he was trying to mock with it, Mr. A, was far less liked by everyone than Rorschach ever was. All the little details and flaws Moore added to make him seem hypocritical and "more evil" just ended up humanizing him and making him more relatable than the walking monologue Mr. A was.
It is by far the biggest "own goal" probably in media history.
