V for Vendetta and Bystander's Remorse

And I was really delighted and obviously horrified when the story was like, no, we're not going to just name drop concentration camps and all these horrible atrocities and not interrogate them. That it instead of going for maybe low hanging fruit of killing some Nazis or making a horrible person feel remorse, that instead went for the white white white guilt and bystanders' remorse, I interrogated how someone who did nothing would feel years later after everything shook out

A late scene in the #VforVendetta #comics has some beautiful writing on white guilt and bystanders' remorse. I tried to articulate that.
