I find it hilarious that this board is all 'left vs right'


This movie is not left or right. It's totalitarianism vs anarchy. These concepts are on a separate axis than left and right. Both left and right exhibit forms of totalitarianism and anarchy.

American politics is terrible because most everyone thinks the political spectrum is linear. Alas, it's much more 3-dimensional. Rather than understand basic politics, we just bash each other, accuse each other of the same things, parrot buzzwords, and bark the same old talking points. It's sad, really.

Well the people who wrote the movie did make the government go after anybody that was gay thus making them right wing in some peoples' eyes. The graphic novel though doesn't do that and the writer of the graphic novel Alan Moore hated that they did that in the movie.
