I never liked superheroes to begin with. Watched a couple of "mainstream" movies with them and all I can say is: cringe.

I was kind of enthusiastic about them when they first started coming out and then at some point I realized they were all 95% interchangeable and my interest dropped off hard

He hated Harry Potter long before it becomes popular to do so and before R*wling's views came to light. He's always into something.

Ok, but bare with me. What if there is literally this genetically superior race of people, right? And its their job to secure the existence of our people and a future for white children? And they operate completely outside the bounds of legality or morality, because they are so far beyond the Untermensch they govern.

But now we're going to wrap them in a flag and put sacred iconography all over their uniforms. How about now? Would you think THAT was fascist? Well? Wouldya? Huh? Commie?

Alan Moore always hated capeshit and wrote Watchmen specifically as a deconstruction of it. imo "The Boys" is just Information Age Watchmen.

anyway here's a picture of Mr. Moore himself back in the 80s, when he wrote Watchmen :marx-goth:

As an anarchist I don't vote, preferring direct political action and comment without an elected intermediary. If I did vote, however, I would try to vote with the way that viable human history appeared to be going rather than against it. The economic and political agendas imposed in the West over the last thirty or forty years clearly lead only to a ruined environment, to international austerity while the planet's billionaires attempt to become trillionaires, to Donald Trump, and to a horrific abyss that threatens to make the English Civil War look like a Sunday-school outing. That scenario, in any sane person's reading of the situation, is not an option. If figures like Jeremy Corbyn are emerging to propose a far more humane and workable direction for society, and if such figures are garnering enormous support from part of the electorate that's been denied a voice for too long, then it may be that this is because people like Corbyn have become historically necessary.

Here's something you don't see every day, an internet-averse anarchist announcing on social media that he'll be voting Labour in the December elections. But these are unprecedented times. I've voted only once in my life, more than forty years ago, being convinced that leaders are mostly of benefit to no one save themselves. That said, some leaders are so unbelievably malevolent and catastrophic that they must be strenuously opposed by any means available. nut simply, I do not believe that four more years of these rapacious, smirking right-wing parasites will leave us with a culture, a society, or an environment in which we have the luxury of even imagining alternatives.

The wretched world we're living in at present was not an unlucky war of fate; it was an economic and political decision made without consulting the enormous human population that it would most drastically affect. If we would have it otherwise, if we'd prefer a fixture that we can call home, then we must stop supporting — even passively — this ravenous, insatiable conservative agenda before it devours us with our kids as a dessert.

Although my vote is principally against the Tories rather than for Labour, I'd observe that Labour's current manifesto is the most encouraging set of proposals that I've ever seen from any major British party. Though these are immensely complicated times and we are all uncertain as to which course we should take, I'd say the one that steers us furthest from the glaringly apparent iceberg is the safest bet…

If my work has meant anything to you over the years, if the way that modern is going makes you fear for all the things you value, then please get out there on polling day and make your voice heard with a vote against this heartless trampling of everybody's safety, dignity and dreams. A world we love is counting on us.

Alan Moore in Nov 2019

Alan is what the kind of real anarchist I would point to in the UK, who isn't interested in fighting with reds but instead in fighting the right. Show more of the american democrat "anarchists" that the real anarchists out there don't endorse a system they oppose by participating and providing consent to being governed.

There was a Superman Red Son movie in 2020. It's...ok. Red Son is slightly more sympathetic to the USSR than most superhero stuff but it's still so very liberal.

Ah, that's disappointing.
