![]() It goes without saying, of course, that the very idea of ordinary citizens taking control over their lives, poses a clear and immediate danger to neo-Liberal governmental bureaucracy in Western countries, simply because the representatives of this bureaucracy can be referred to as anything but public servants. Therefore, we can only agree with John Hiscock, who in his article “Why V for Vendetta spells C for Controversy” explains why this movie has fallen out of favor with the hawks of political correctness, despite the fact that it portrays the struggle of “lefties” against “far-right dictatorship” as being morally justified: “The central issue (in the movie) is fear and to what extent people living in fear should or should not take responsibility for their own lives, and it is also about governments not being responsible to their own people” (Hiscock 2006). In its turn, this allows us to suggest that the public controversy, surrounding “V for Vendetta”, has nothing to do with movie’s clearly defined anti-religious and even anti-American sentiment, but solely with the fact that this movie promotes the idea that there is only one effective way for citizens to protect their civil freedoms from government’s oppression – proving to governmental officials that their bodies are not bulletproof. Thus, the actual message, conveyed by “V for Vendetta”, does not actually relate to this movie’s ideological premise that gays, lesbians and the representatives of racial minorities can act as “freedom fighters”, simply because these people could not care less about protecting their country’s national integrity. ![]() ![]() In the similar manner, British mainstream Medias used to refer to London’s racial riots of 20 as “racist provocation”, “crime against spirit of tolerance” and “neo-nazi conspiracy”, even though that Londoners who participated in mass rallies against their country being turned into the “Northern Pakistan”, were ordinary citizens, which simply got fed up with newly arrived Muslim immigrants’ tendency to explore their “ethnic uniqueness”, by raping White women. For example, in “V for Vendetta”, government reacts to the destruction of Old Bailey by “V”, by declaring it being an emergency demolition – in other words, it deliberately misleads citizens as to what had really happened. Therefore, only a very lazy individual would not be willing to run parallels between how movie depicts people being ideologically brainwashed and how today’s Western Medias misinform citizens on the practical effects of “celebration of diversity” policy being given an official status. The careful watching of “V for Vendetta” reveals the fact that the high-ranking officials from Norsefire Party, thought of the prospect of citizens being told the truth about what is going on in the country, as such that represents the foremost danger to “stability”. Britain is passing hate speech laws concerning race relations and now religious speech, and so on and so forth. France passed the same law of hate speech concerning gays. Look at this persecution of people like the Swedish pastor who was persecuted for several months because he said that the Bible does not approve homosexuality. ![]() Today’s ideology of the European Union is social-democratic, statist, and a big part of it is also political correctness. In his article “Former Soviet Dissident Warns for EU Dictatorship”, Paul Belien quotes a former Soviet dissident Vladimir Bukovksy, who had suggested that slowly but surely, EU (European Union) transforms itself into an equivalent of Soviet Union: “The Soviet Union used to be a state run by ideology. Therefore, even though that formally speaking, “V for Vendetta” portrays the hypothetical future of Britain being under the yoke of far-right dictatorship, it is quite impossible not to notice the fact that the hypothetical realities of a particular political ideology completely domineering Britain’s socio-political life, as shown in the movie, actually correspond to the fact that nowadays, many citizens in Western countries are simply afraid to openly express their political opinions, while knowing perfectly well that their intellectual honesty might actually cost them their jobs and even freedom, simply because it can easily qualify these people for being charged with “racism”, “sexism”, “male chauvinism” etc. The 2005 movie “V for Vendetta” stands out as an example of a recent cinematographic work that was allowed for release in theatres, despite the fact that it actually mocks state-sponsored ideological oppressiveness, which is now being strongly associated with promoters’ of neo-Liberal agenda tendency to shove up the doctrine of “multiculturalism” down citizens’ throats.
