Like Idiocracy has been a manual for the US, V for Vendetta is a manual for the UK.

For fuck sake people, these are movies of worlds we DON'T want to live in.

    Quick! Someone make a movie where the population suffers from affordable housing, free and universal healthcare, fair taxation, and a healthy planet!

    You mean Star Trek? But where are the suffering people? It's no fun when there is no suffering. Why would fascists want a world like that. I don't understand why there are not more people willing to support the 1%ers. We might all be suffering, but their lives matter too you know! The world we live in right now, like in Don't Look Up, is much more appealing. I mean, fuck poor people, fuck sick people, fuck hungry people. It's their life choice. They just should have been born more fortunate. It's their choice to have no life, no future, no opportunity. Might as well lock them up in prison (concentration camps) and use them for forced labor.

    How about I get us started? To get the groove going;

    AHHH! Look at my Bank Account! I have money left after paying rent! OHHH THE HUMANITY! 😨

    Drugs are cheaper than groceries, also delivered within 15 minutes while groceries take 1 to 2 days. Guess what I'll be consuming tonight instead of dinner!

    1 grocery bag with food for 2 day: 75 euros.

    Or:

    5 grams of ketamine: 25 euros.

    5 xtc pills: 10 euros.

    3 grams amphetamine: 15 euros.

    I just saved 25 euros expenses, with enough for 5 days! Yay!

    I actually paid 1,30 per gram but only when I bought a larger quantity. But with my home dealer it's 15 per gram, 5 for friends. Tested 86% pure needles. Perks of living in The Netherlands, cheap top quality dope with fast home delivery. Can be tested in every city. Yet there are only few homeless people and no dope crisis. The hard junky drugs like crack, crystal meth, opioids like oxycontin, fentanyl and heroin aren't popular here. Mostly regular party dope and weird Chinese designer drugs for younger people like 3MMA and 4FMP.

    V for Vendetta is a manual for the UK.

    Add some 1984 to the mix.

    Well both books were written to describe what british authoritarianism would look like.

    Tap for spoilerHow long before we have a leak of the PM masturbating to state violence? Ugh V for Vandetta was so sexual in such an intentionally uncomfortable way

    I don't remember a scene like that was it only in the comic?

    I didn't watch the movie, but I can't imagine an American movie getting away with what the comic did. Yeah, one of the major themes of the comic is the fucked up sexuality displayed by the fascists and the leader gets off on the concentration camps.

    Really good comic, but it's definitely a lot. Moore did a really good job of depicting the fascists as pathetic but dangerous. Though fair warning, if Moore could think of a slur a brit might possibly use it's in that comic.
