Not quite, they can only perceive themselves as white and everyone else as black while lying how they only see grey.

Bait thread, but why was Rorschach the bad guy?
Sure, he killed criminals, but that was mostly a circumstance of how utterly fucked up that world was. Criminals, despite how many super heroes were running around, were running rampant. There were a billion times more of them then there were heroes. And the Criminals were getting more and more brazen. It's part of the reason why Ozymandias does what he does.

I know the author says, "but his unbending attitude is bad and he is stupid"
But why? Why is that bad? He was the only hero who unceasingly stood against corruption and evil. He never bent and died for the exact things he stood for.

I already told you, because people will act in the heat of the moment and pretend to be on the side of the law, frame their convenient victims with some le bad crime and pretend its justice.

someone who judges and punishes you should always be dispassionate and have no personal relationship towards you. taking the time to look at all the facts at hand, and sentence you according to the law of the land. otherwise the justice system turns real ugly quickly

I mean bad guy/good guy as a synonym for antagonist/protagonist? Obviously Rorschach is a protagonist. He tries to stop mass murder as well. What does he do that makes him the bad guy anyways? Try to reveal the truth? You can debate whether that’s a good thing or bad thing but it doesn’t suddenly make him the ”bad guy”
Doesn’t this entire “Rorschach = bad” come from a posthoc Alan Moore interview anyways? Have you seen what Alan Moore looks like?

I believe you misunderstand what I meant by group effort, it doesnt mean more people need to be roaming the streets looking for pedos in order to be able to call it justice.

I meant that the group as such has to make the judgement call of wether or not to punish a specific person and what that punishment should look like. we abstract this process by picking people to represent our collective interests in court (the judges and prosecution) to enforce agreed upon laws and deal with people who upset the societal order we all agreed upon.

if the group is small enough and self-organized enough, there can be overlap between these people, but the underlying process, the concept of a trial, affording even criminals certain kinds of rights, and taking time to look at the case at hand, are still in effect.

It isn't that people think that Rorschach wasn't the bad guy that bothers me, but rather that they don't understand that you can watch/read a story and interpret a character's motivations differently from them without being stupid or ignorant.

Thsi is one of the things about left wing pigs that bothers me far more than their absurd projects, the fact that they are themselves totally incapable of nuance. They are all like this, they make absurd claims to moral relativism while behaving as though their own beliefs are axiomatic, unassailable moral truths. If you disagree with the Left Wing Pig it is never because you interpret data differently, it is either because you are stupid or because you are evil.

This is very funny given that the history of the grand left wing project is one humiliating failure after another. Even its founding conceit, the French Revolution, ended in hilarious humiliating disaster. Mass murder of le porcie leading directly into a totalitarian autocratic imperial dictatorship with more power and militaristic ambition than the Anciens Regime had ever had, resulting in a multi-continental series of wars, the literal decimation of the French male population, the systematic obliteration of all of France's ethnic minority cultures and languages besides the Parisian French, and the establishment of one of the world's most expansionist Colonial powers which would terrorize their pet brown people for the next 200 years and counting.

Leftists are the stupidest and most incompetent people on the fucking planet, and they ACT as though disagreeing with them makes you dumb--when in fact, you can usually determine the smart course of action by asking a Leftoid what you should do and then doing the opposite.

>>219217896
There's a difference between peace and pacification. You think you're safe from persecution because some people in some suits wrote 'thou shalt not persecute people' on some fucking paper. Laws don't matter, enforcement matters. For the most part, the only reason the state is not currently shooting you is because you're not worth the cost of a single bullet. Or, rather, because you're slightly useful as a mouthpiece of the power structure. You'll argue their case for them. Like you're doing right now.

So what your argument boils down to is that because people agreed upon this system it's right, so then vigilantism is okay as long as people decide so, so you're just appealing to the majority as your sense of morality, got it, your morals are entirely subjective based on popular consensus meaning vigilantism is no less moral than the current system nor is any crime inherently immoral because you believe in subjective morality

Because state needs to have monopoly on violence. That is the only way you can effectively uphold law and order.
Vigilante justice undermines this and frays the society piece by piece. Distrust in institutions invite chaos and violence.
It is why current attacks on Police and ICE agents is the most braindead shit I have ever seen in my life. If you are a member of opposition party and participate in it, you actively undermine your own power.

>>219218435
people acted out vigilante justice in pre-historic times, but there is a reason pretty much every society has moved away from this.

abstracting the justice system into laws and building rituals of court and punishment around it is far more effective than neighbors killing eachother in blood feuds, even the romans understood this. its why they were obsessed with laws.

and ofcourse there is no inherent morality in the universe. it only exists because we force it into existence, because we want it that way. its subject to people

>>
>>219218368
You don't know what that word means. There is nothing Postmodern about it, because the conflict of Watchmen isn't one of objective truth. I am asserting that the character being interpreted is nuanced in the story. Ozymandias cannot see the future, he predicts a nuclear war and then launches a massive terrorist attack to try and avoid it.

Rorschach disagrees with Ozymandias because he had no actual evidence that there would be a nuclear war, he had essentially murdered millions of people on a hunch. And even if the hunch were correct, there was no way to be certain that this course of action would succeed in averting it.

And in fact, we see decisive evidence that Rorschach was right. Ozymandias was capable of making mistakes. Manhattan outright TELLS HIM that his plan is going to fail and he CAN see the fucking future. And, we then see Rorschach's journal being sent to some journalist in the last frame of the goddamn comic. It isn't even Death of the Author--Moore consciously made the decision to show that Ozymandias had miscalculated multiple times.

in trust in the good judgement of my ancestors that they built a society that is in my own best interest. there's a reason things are the way they are. this isnt a conspiracy, it was thousands of years of trial and error to come up with this current system that works better than everything before.
I dont need to re-invent the wheel. things are working fine.

we are both sheep and unquestioningly trust other peoples and previous generations judgement a thousand times a day, why is law such a hot topic for you? why not questioning the process behind water treatment and canals? or building construction codes every time you enter a building? there are arbitrary as well, forged by trial and error. existing perfectly fine without your personal input.

Another thing that I already mentioned- there are no sides, government is government, no matter who currently leads it. Covid was a shittest almost all governments fumbled and it hurt them.
I am sure anons from various countries have different stories, but very similar in a way - government breaking policies they themselves forced on people. Our PM was doing rounds around pubs he himself closed down and when caught he claimed that he doesn't spread Covid because he had 12 feet of ceiling above his head, keeping sport clubs open because of sponsorship contracts etc.
