Portraits in Rage III

This time, it's personal.

Apparently, questioning the comparison of the upcoming "V For Vendetta" with DW Griffith's infamous "Birth of a Nation" means that I'm a terrorist sympathizer.

To wit:

THAT Matt is something you can’t escape. You are unable to condemn ACTUAL tyranny (that of the rampaging Muslim mob holding up signs saying “God Bless Hitler") and are so in the position of groveling before the mob condemning fake tyranny, that of actual resistance.

Why did the Matrix suck? Because it played out the Wachowski’s deranged Nietchezian fantasies of remaking human nature (seen played out in Larry’s makeover into a transgendered person with a Dominatrix partner) in horrible utopian fantasies. This film sucks exactly that way.

Because it argues that Western society should be destroyed in favor of violent Nietchezian supermen running things. OF COURSE we question your patriotism.


Keep in mind, this commentator hasn't even seen the movie yet. Authoritarian cultists, unite!

Update! Chud.com weighs in HERE. Recommended as a palate cleanser to the rage-that-is-Libertas.

Welcome to how I feel in practically every Religion topic on Chud. Maybe stepping away from Libertas is in order.

Maybe, but the masochist in me is strong.

Me too I suppose.

I think that it's a combination of being shocked and appalled at the level of willfull ignorance, and an unwillingness to accept that ignorance for being voluntary, and not, say, the result of some comic book supervillian's mind-control device.

It's not that they have a different opinion that both repels and compels me. It's the reaction to the opinions of others. This is the sort of rage that Authoritarian cultists have the patent on.
