Lewis Prothero Speech (V for Vendetta)

Lewis Prothero attacking the former U.S.A.
For some reason I find this hilarious, not for what he says obviously, but how he says it in such a judgmental manner.
Enjoy.

Ironically they have all the things they criticize in islam. Yes, there is a lot we can say against the facism and the so called alt right. And yes I know the left is not perfect Im not a left supporter for the record but at least they dont discriminate people by races, religion, procedence or sexual orientation. Oh yes I almost forget: By the way the conservatives want more weapons so the kids can kill each other in every american school.

[@kofola9145]

Of course Leftists discriminate people by races, religion, procedence or sexual orientation. They discriminate white people, Christians, I do not know what that means and heterosexuals. Also wealthy people, free thinkers and many others. I mean, just look at Communists. Look at Feminists and other Leftists group. By the way, calling a Right Wing opponent a Fascist is really ignorant thing. Fascism is "authoritation regime characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and control of industry and commerce". I beg you to find a single conservative that support control of industry by state. You will not find any. Why? Because Fascism and Nacism are Leftist ideologies. It is great victory of Communists propaganda that everybody consider National Socialism to be Right Wing. Communism is a class socialism. Nacism is racial socialism. Both murdered and ruined hundreds of milions of human lives. There is no difference. People who claim there is do so because they want to make their ideology look better. There certainly are Facist, but people who want to live the way they intend, and not according to some high chairman of party are not one of them. That is their crime. The fact somebody uses manipulation and straigh bullying to convert these good people to their croocked and wicked ideology is disgusting.

[@acrustykrab]

I see lots of comments like yours and they are quite silly. Conservatives (in the US anyway) want extremely limited (small) government which strictly follows the Constitution, that would hardly result in the dictatorship of V for Vendetta. The movie just says the villain is from the "conservative party" and you immediately correlate it with dictatorships and modern conservatives. That's like calling all left wing governments communists, it isn't accurate nor intelligent.
