He summarises his position in literally the second paragraph
“Ten years on, let me make my position clear: I believe that fandom is a wonderful and vital organ of contemporary culture, without which that culture ultimately stagnates, atrophies and dies. At the same time, I’m sure that fandom is sometimes a grotesque blight that poisons the society surrounding it with its mean-spirited obsessions and ridiculous, unearned sense of entitlement. Perhaps this statement still requires some breaking down.”
This is very clearly an article specific to fandom and largely has little to do with his thoughts on political movements. Additionally, when he does make political statements he does with negative attitudes towards conservative leaders and voters. See my other comment for quotes
In the world of Alan Moore, fandom intertwines with political movements. Anonymous literally uses his Guy Fawkes Mask as its sole symbol. Have you never watched V for Vendetta or read up on Anonymous?
I was saying that to demonstrate it’s not just “some fandom” or “some movement”, as opposed to something that challenges they can mix. The point being he denounces a large swath of the things done by those who cite him as inspiration, whether by name or not depending on the exact movement or act. And the book was where the symbol originated, not the movie. He didn’t make the movie.
I’m not “citing my post”, I’m showing you that I’ve done what you say I haven’t. You’re looking an awful lot more into what I say than what Alan Moore has been shown to have said.

Okay? People used a symbol he made. What’s your point. The irony of talking about the movie adaptation lmao

You have yet to provide any examples
You say that like Anonymous isn’t an example. I’ve mentioned a few.
