Reminder that Alan Moore is an anarchist because he doesn't want there to be any authorities that could prevent rape.

Alan Moore is right and dissident right wingers agree with his philosophy on comic books and hero archetypes (but it's a good thing actually)

I bought the Moon And Serpent Bumper Book Of Magic recently and read through the introductory pages and the first exercise for a quick sample. Immediately, I was disappointed at Alanโ€™s urging that magicians needed to use their powers for the benefit of those around them, and the spiritual symbolism of the cup representing the magicianโ€™s empathy and compassion for others. If I donโ€™t accept these ideas, am I not allowed to be a magician? Is he simply trying to stymie the creation of rogue magicians to avoid a Voldemort scenario befalling his culture?

He never needed to do that. British police has always been the most useless, lazy, corrupt police force in the West.

It's really hilarious that conservatives glaze police constantly. They imagine police as these john woo esque superheroes who catch criminals and prevent crime, but they are completely useless. Police don't do anything besides shoot/arrest protestors and give parking/speeding tickets.

When I got robbed, they didn't apprehend the criminal they just made me write a report and told me to rebuy the item that was stolen from me.

I'm sorry for that experience, I'm familiar with it, but there in is probably why we and Moore regrettably figured out what those like OP and many others still haven't, or can't. No one aware of the fallibility wants complete chaos in exchange, but most stop seeing the point in preening over something defective.

Moore even talked about how his gradual disillusionment happened from a young age, it's not an image he just donned. The authoritarian adults where he grew up would sneer down at the children like they were terrorists if they so much as didn't tie their shoelaces, yet Moore later found himself having to illustrate the unnerving commonality of rape in his work because he'd noted how prevalent it had been yet ignored by those very adults.
As one anon said earlier, it's likely because the culprits were related to those who could do anything about it, or failing that the victims were just not considered of importance. Either way Moore made a point how persistently taken aback people seem at fictional scenarios in his work, yet docile with real life cases around them. There's this "oh well" mode they eventually fall into for that, while having lockjaw over a panel in a comic over a decade ago because subconsciously they know it's easier to tackle. It's the same whenever media points out a civilian doing their part for police involvement only for little involvement from police, audiences get up in arms in protest, but if someone points out real unresolved cases in their area the same people start handwaving the entire discussion. Mental.

It's like if someone saw you didn't bother to wear a watch, start ridiculing your character while arguing the obvious importance of the principle of time keeping, with a faulty watch they keep putting off fixing for one excuse or another.

He is an anarchist because he wants to use any character and story he likes. So he wouldnt be called out to benefit on others property.

No, he's just sharing his paradigm and interpretations of core symbolism. Mostly based on the well known practice of making up bullshit, like most chaos magicians after the 70s.
Say what you want about Grant Morrison, but he/them/whatfuckingever made one of the best chaos magic primers out there, it's like four pages long and it's free for everyone to read.
Moore seems enamored with the aesthetics of ceremonial magic, but is too much of a leftoid to engage with the ideas, meanings and centuries (if not millennia) of knowledge ceremonial magicians put into their traditions.
At least he's not forcing his ideas upon you like many other lefty witchtokers do. As always, take what you deem valuable from his book and move on to the next grimoire. The pursuit of knowledge and personal power cannot end with one work.

I think you're missing out on the major divide in this comparison. One is an explicitly fictional scenario where all aspects are controlled by a single person, the other real life which is a confluence of interactions and happenstance over which one can at best have an exceptionally minor and temporary control, occurring within a multitude of contemporaneous and serial confluences of interactions and happenstance over which one can at best have an exceptionally minor and temporary control.

But the idea that people who're critical of rape in Moore's stories would or do turn a blind eye to rape in real life is made up based on nothing.

Comics aren't very lucrative these days, especially capeshit. Most of the people that do comics are either small fries or hacks that couldn't make it in TV or film (even then they're constantly trying to do stealth TV pitches or pray that their shit gets adapted like a wannabe Millar/Johns).
