Have you ever watched "V for Vendetta"?
No?
So, you've probably seen the Guy Fawkes' mask somewhere.
Let me try to summarize the plot of the movie here.
That man, "V"
The state has fucked him up in the past
and now he wants revenge.
I'll focus on the most worked point of the movie.
The fight against the system.
System that in the movie people have freely and spontaneously accepted.
Or not.
The world in which the movie takes place is completely fucked up thanks to disease, and war.
And throughout the movie it is shown how Norsefire Party
led by Adam Sutler saved England from the chaos that has plagued the whole world.
Throughout the first act of the movie,
the people are shown as the obedient cattle that every government wants.
A people who follow what the state orders.
But as the actions of the "V" continue, the evolution of the population is also shown.
The media is also a central point in the plot's background.
It is always shown as support from the state,
everything the government tells it to do, the media does without question.
DO YOU THINK THEY'RE GONNA BELIEVE IN THIS SHIT?
WHY NOT?
THIS IS GLOBO (Brazillian Television)
WE REPORT THE NEWS,
DON'T FABRICATE
THAT'S THE GOVERNMENT'S JOB
To a certain point in the movie where one of the characters go into the fuck it mode
and makes fun of the High Chancellor.
And the state's reaction to this great offense is more than predictable.
TAKE COVER
ASKS TO MAKE THE "URRO" (Brazilian meme) NOW.
ASSHOLE.
WOW "JUREG" (Brazilian meme)
The state in the movie eliminates opponents as easily as you change clothes.
And these opponents are not necessarily political,
whoever defeats the government's morals is also thrown into the fire.
And how does the government of the movie remain in power?
It's quite easy to answer that.
Like any other government in the real world.
At the base of fear.
Fear of the return of chaos, fear of disease and hunger.
The fear of instability.
In the movie, the state created a virus that killed hundreds of thousands of people,
and they came to power like that.
They remain in power by indoctrinating people to be obedient to the state.
With the speech that the state will provide you with security and stability,
everything the people wanted.
Now leaving the movie a little bit,
the most innocent or dumb people can believe that "V for Vendetta" is a very surreal movie.
But everything that happens in the movie can happen in real life...
Actually it has already happened.
A fearful people can elect a leader who promises to save the nation from its own misery.
A leader who eliminates all his opponents and takes the lives of millions of people from his own nation.
A leader who forbids his people to leave.
A leader who funds wars and terrorism around the world.
All of this happened in the past and it happens today.
In general, the final message of the movie is that the state doesn't exist to protect you,
the state exists to control you.
And if they can, they will fuck you in every possible and imaginable way.
It's no use exchanging one shit for another.
There's only one way to end oppression.
And it isn't idolizing a politician or a group, or a weak ideology
And its variations that have been refuted for over a hundred years.
The world won't change if the people continue to believe in the state or a leader.
You're not a group, you're an individual.
Try to think like one, I swear it doesn't hurt.
And it's not that difficult.
We don't need the state, they need us.
And to finish ...
The tax is theft, and the state is immoral.
