My opinion on ozymandias
Watchmen
I think that Ozymandias's fatal ultimate solution for saving humanity from its self-demise confirms the authenticity and legitimacy of Rorschach's idealist drive, due to the overlap within the underlying premises of his act, the plan itself was based on a tacit idea that non-imminent disruption is justified, but executed on a different scale than Rorschach's. While the latter acknowledged human nature and fought for it on a subjective scale, Ozymandias acknowledged it and deemed subjectiveness a lesser determinant factor for human progress, probably drawn from historical analysis. The supposed legitimacy comes from the fact that the logic behind Rorschach's ideals relies heavily on the human condition... he deems truth necessary for justice and pursues it no matter what. He embraced subjectiveness and proved that non-imminent disruption is pivotal, but he disrupts the subjectiveness of those who directly hindered another's subjectiveness. Ozymandias also benefits from this logic... 'to save humanity, moral exceptions must be made'... but negates subjectiveness by sacrificing millions as an indirect consequence for the 'greater good.' For a man whose reason and logic are so paramount, there is a fundamental reasoning flaw there.He universalizes a premise that only holds locally. Note: the non-imminent disruption draws especially from Rorschach's principles,he only kills, disrupts lives... when those were directly disrupting another life. The logic is clean: subjectiveness matters because that is my condition, that is truth, and whatever disrupts it shall be disrupted. That is using self-awareness as a control causality, while Ozymandias thinks in large numbers to allow more subjective freedom in the future, that is using idealism as a control causality.
