Most of the White people in those states are basically being held hostage, their elections are entirely fake just like what happened in Arizona but for decades longer.
I asked a nigger neighbor of mine who was kind of agnostic on trump the first time an interesting question. I asked him if he knew for a fact that trump referred to blacks as niggers in his private life, but if elected pull, and would make you’re OQL much better than what the alternative would, would you vote for him? I brought up specifics about taxing him less, and prices of everything being cheaper overall, along with less government interference in your life in general. He starlight up told me not a chance. I told him how silly, and emotional that was, and he just thought I was insane.
TLDR, most normies, and NPCs, especially niggers, are low IQ emotionally driven children who value words over actions, and results.

If you want to realize what a sicko commie jew moore is, read v for vendetta and realize that v is a degenerate communist who murders priests and defiles the blessed Sacrament, and the state that put him in a camp are in fact the good guys. Honestly theres no way moore isnt a jew, if not racially, he is one spiritually.

He is and Watchmen is pretty much the only good thing he has ever done but then the final chapter is just a commie bullshit trope where the benevolent superior intellectual commie was totally right all along and suddenly everyone instantly agrees with him completely betraying their former wrong and stupid personalities and behavior. Absolutely terrible writing but that is literally how the fantasies of these retards play out in their imagination.

It's kind of amazing that Moore tries to distance himself from Rorschacht but is fine with Ozimandias killing millions of people to *maybe* prevent a nuclear holocaust.
Like, good thing the Americans didn't take it as some kind of Russian trick and launched nukes in retaliation. Good thing no one got extremely suspicious of the timing, or went looking for all the scientists and artists that were killed on his island. Hopefully, after the initial shock, the political situation doesn't stay exactly the same and the Americans and Soviets don't just postpone things for a couple years.
That's the problem with these Trolley Problem exercises: you don't know the future. If you switch the track to save five people, killing someone in the process, what happens if another train comes up the other way and flattens them anyway? What happens if they live, and then go off and molest some kids? You killed a guy for no reason.
To Leftists, they always know best. Maybe it's their belief in educational institutions and systemic authority, but they both refuse to consider that they might be wrong, and refuse to actually learn about the problems they're trying to solve at a granular level.
It's indicative of the writers that make this poison.
In most modern science fiction, "entertainment", and "story telling", you'll find all manner of fictional stories where it somehow becomes better to tell a lie than to tell the truth, because the truth would be devastating in some way, only because the story (author) says so. They twist and twist the narrative to support their foregone conclusion that lying is necessary and somehow "good", and that the truth is somehow "bad".
Even lowbrow good White people know that telling the truth is a foundational requirement for any successful group, regardless of size. Philosophically, truth is paramount. Tell the truth, or lies and falsehoods win out, which leads to ruin. Prioritize truth above all, or lies and falsehoods win out, which leads to ruin. Act in truth, or die. The only way to succeed, grow, live, and proliferate is through truth.
But, these propagandists are doing everything in their literative power to convey the exact opposite message. It's hilarious, though, when they accidentally reveal the truth through their subversion, like with Rorschach and Watchmen. Rorschach was right. A convenient lie can only maintain peace for so long, and will make things worse when the lie is revealed. While truth doesn't necessarily mean everything will be peaceful at all times (because violence, nor peace, is inherently good or bad), the truth will always result in the best course, even if it upsets current falsehoods and lies in the short term.
Graphic novel. So comic book with a longer storyline than comics. Think of comics as novellas and graphic novels as books. I personally like graphic non-fiction. Which is basically illustrated books with more illustrations that are also artistic and usually higher quality that just a novel with some illustrations. A guy who used to hang out with Jeffrey Dahmer made My Friend Dahmer and I read that years ago. Around the same time I read one about the Green River Killer. And what got me into them was the slice-of-life alternative comic which got the author a regular appearance on David Letterman until he kept criticizing General Electric, American Splendor, by Harvey Pekar.
I heard that one with Homelander in it was good but I never looked into it. Most of the graphic novel section at the library is all just bound volumes of multiple comics now. 20 years ago when I dated a librarian it was different and it had its own section but now many of what are actually graphic books - both nonfiction and fiction - are in the kids section, so single adult men can't go there without a "guide".

leftists have no idea how the other side thinks, they rarely have empathy for their own, the "right wing" outsiders are painted as literal bogey men in their circles, with fabricated stories being told as truth, and the media backs them up so they believe it.

this. study after study confirms this. normal people have 5 axes of morality. lefties only have 2, not perceiving or considering any of the others. so when non-lefties are asked "how would a lefty view this", it's easy for the non-lefty. but when a lefty is asked about other views, they think everyone else 100% of the time are the caricatures of racism/sexism.
look up jonathan haidt, "the righteous mind". he's a lefty and even called out lefties for it.
normal people have 5 axes... harm/care, equity/fairness, authority, ingroup, and purity.
lefties only look at harm and equity. the others are beyond their perception. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/97/Haidt-political_morality.png
in response, lefties didn't ask, "how do we make lefties more open minded so they understand the conservative viewpoint". in fact, when they do that, it has a tendency of making people drop liberalism. instead, they asked "how do we amp this up and exploit it even more?" and it's why they hit those talking points in practically all media.

Strange considering the ending , the entire plot was a philosophical debate of Veidt and Manhattan on one side who embody "the ends justifies the means" vs a Kantian-like "strict obedience to the moral imperative" embodied by Kovacs siding with truth no matter what.
Perhaps Moore doent even understand the irony. It's the liberal marxists who all believe the ends justifies the means. (Murder 5 people if it saves 10). Rorschach was a character conservatives liked, because he was the only one with integrity and a moral compass that functioned. While they plotted to destroy new york, including all the kids and innocent people. Rorschach, on the other hand, was a truth absolutist, who only went after the guilty.
Seemed pretty obvious the entire point was to criticize the left's impossibly dysfunctional central planning. But that dynamic apparently went over his own head. Liberals can't even write favorable fiction without their stories unraveling.

>While they plotted to destroy new york, including all the kids and innocent people. Rorschach, on the other hand, was a truth absolutist, who only went after the guilty.
It's worth mentioning that while Veidt and Manhattan lived in neary literal ivory towers, Rorschacht was the only one really on the ground, interacting with the people who were killed for a "better world".
He had no problem killing and brutalizing criminals every single day, while his counterparts attended catered meetings with the creme of society, and he *still* refused to stand by and let good people be sacrificed, even though none of them ever did anything for him, by all accounts.
It's still an *excellent* metaphor for Telescope Philanthropists; people willing to cram tenements full of poor people then add predators and criminals in order to "save" them, sacrificing the well-being of everyone else. Or the people to whom vax side-effects were a "small price to pay". Or who would rather help refugees instead of their own neighbours. These people, almost entirely Leftists, refuse to ever actually interact with anyone they're "helping" unless it's to be thanked, because if they did they might realize that they aren't actually helping anyone.
Apparently both Wikipedia and Google has taken it down, which was once a off cited picture, (which means it's probably very effective and worth archiving.)
I agree that Watchmen is actually perfect for this.
Other movies such as Hugh Grant's Extreme Measures, are very superficial.
The movie Swordfish with Travolta ("terrorist" version of Veidt) and Jackman ("good guy" version of Korvacs) were also meant to be shallow debates on train track morality.
But as you've pointed out, Watchmen almost seems to be a psychics criticism of the future Telescope Philanthropists, more relevant today than ever.
The ending was the worst part where all the normie superheroes were all like "huh, I never thought of it that way. You are so right! You are so smart. You should do whatever you think is best. WE won't get in your way! Anyway, time to give up being a superhero and go live in the suburbs in a tract home with a small yard, driveway, and garage after marrying the person I am simply most familiar with because I have known them a long time even though we have never been in a relationship before!"

Leftists don't believe your position truly exists. Don't confuse this with them disagreeing with you - your stance is as real as the Tooth Fairy.
The left's gods and saints are the government, browns, trannies, faggots, pedos, etc., and (more broadly) the nebulous idea of "the law" - "legal and illegal", not to be confused with "right and wrong".
Remember the [New Guy comic](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/new-guy) making fun of PewDiePie getting robbed? The artist depicts a very standard sympathetic character - one a saner writer would expect the reader to side with - but this is completely accidental. To the lefty mind, New Guy isn't presenting a valid argument - PewDiePie is bad, so anyone taking his side is an automatically discredited strawman that can be torn down.
This is also why you'll typically see lefty-written villains turn out to be evil "because evil". The strawman might recite true, compelling right-wing arguments about immigration or whatever, but it's then revealed to be all a ruse - he doesn't truly believe any of that nonsense, he's just using this as a way to get suckers to join his cause for his *real* nefarious goal: doing evil because evil (he wants to rule the world, or he enjoys watching suffering, or whatever). You're less likely to see a villain that is intentionally written to have relatable reasons that are simply too extreme for the heroes (the system is corrupt beyond saving, his honour demands he keeps his oath to serve an evil king, etc.) or even something as simple and tragic as happening to fight on the opposite side of a war.
This also means any character that the "wrong" people identify with must be dismantled. Take the Punisher.
Frank Castle was a military veteran whose family were gunned down after witnessing a mob hit - like Batman, the law in the Punisher's world is so corrupt that the honest cops are unable to bring the murderers to justice, so he sets out to "punish" evildoers himself, declaring war on crime with every intention of winning (except unlike Batman he goodifies those that had it coming). For obvious reasons, the Punisher's fight to serve justice (rather than "the law") resonated with a lot of people - including a lot of the *wrong* people.
Lefties can't truly *see* our perspectives, so it's no surprise that [they can't fully comprehend something as simple as the Punisher](https://themasterofverona.typepad.com/the_master_of_verona/2018/04/i-recently-watched-the-punisher-series-on-netflix-i-was-hesitant-going-in-not-because-i-thought-it-would-be-bad-quite-the.html):
> they made the mistake everyone does with the Punisher. They make him heroic. That’s a problem, because the Punisher is not a hero. In fact, he started as a villain [...] I have the Spider-Man comic in which he first appears, duped by another villain called The Jackal to make Spidey his next target. Here, Frank Castle is basically a hitman who murders criminals. Yes, he’s got a tragic backstory. But at no point in that story do we mistake him for a hero. He’s a murderer. It’s just that he murders other murderers.
Apparently, this lefty didn't really read the comic he's proud(?) to own. Even in his own synopsis, the Punisher is only attacking Spider-Man because he was tricked into thinking Spidey is a murderer. Even in this first story, the Punisher makes references to his one-man war on crime - he isn't a hitman for hire or doing it for fun.
The latest Punisher comic run retcons his origins to make him essentially always evil deep down. He's depicted as an unfeeling psychopath. He starts killing criminals as a boy, and he never truly loved his wife and children - the war and the murder of his family are merely convenient excuses to take out his innate murderous impulses with the paper-thin justification of only killing criminals. They even change his iconic logo because the wrong people were using it as a bumper sticker.

> The left's gods and saints
Are money and whores. Don't get confused. They quote philosophy to stultify and beguile their critics. You shouldn't take them at face value. Watch what they actually do at the end of the day.
>and (more broadly) the nebulous idea of "the law" - "legal and illegal"
And definitely not law. They like to bring in all sorts of laws they know won't be enforced in order to obfuscate and subvert the justice system, but they never actually care about following rules, even their own. They believe in power, full stop.
I wnt to break into leftists' pods at night and leave informative tracts of national socialist and fascist material under their pillows. The Truth Fairy.

The female is seen as nothing but a victim even though instead of helping her husband and father of her child she abandons him and takes away almost everything for which he cares, then the government takes away the job they promised him his entire life would be there if he was willing to work. "I'm the bad guy? How did that happen?"

I always thought she was a bitch. Clearly his daughter wants to see him and she won't even let him come to her birthday party? Who's paying for that party, I wonder?
If he had a real wife to stand by him through hard times, he would have had something to live for and wouldn't have killed himself. She literally stood by while it happened and did nothing. Bitch.
What Moore is saying is actually unbelievable, if you read the graphic novel or watched the movie Rorschach is literally a reflection of his name you will see what you want to see, is he an incel power tripping on criminals and sex offenders for kicks or is he a vigilante that fights in the dark to protect the innocent, he is designed to be ambiguous and complex enough not to betray the ambiguity he represents, he is the center of the narrative in many ways because the larger story and its themes are parallel to his story and the themes presented therein. The story is straightforward but its themes are almost recursive in nature.
Pretending he wrote a hacky satire character is a willful misrepresentation of his own work to appease his political allies is so sad.
TLDR, most normies, and NPCs, especially niggers, are low IQ emotionally driven children who value words over actions, and results.
They're also racists, but they hate themselves and so they place every single other race above their own.
