I think at some point they realized they couldn't really write an even-handed authoritarian ; you have to choose one or the other.

Like, I'm still early on, and there's a story where Dredd breaks up a democracy protest using tactics that wouldn't be out of place today, but it goes out of its way to show he didn't break the laws of Mega-City One. In reality, they wouldn't have cared, and I think the writers eventually realize that.

Yeah he's essentially just part of the machine. He's not cracking skulls because it's fun (although he's been doing it so long the thought of not doing it unsettles him), he's doing it because it's what the job demands, and when he does express his own thoughts he's not a fan of democracy because it's not the machine he's built to exist in but if people want it he won't stop them as long they follow the rules in the meantime (he was the deciding vote to allow an election on whether or not there would be more elections even!) And now he's actively working to try to make the city less of a hellscape following his clone dad, the founder of the judge system, telling him that it wasn't supposed to be forever

There's a solid year about Dredd eating poo poo after the judges choose a new Chief specifically to push back against the pro mutant reforms Dredd championed and at no point does he either regret what he did or stop doing his job because it's all just part of what he was literally made for

He also spends that year trying to bring down the insane racist deputy chief who eliminates the chief in order to take the big seat and effectively put mutants in camps outside the city

(Which end up actually being better than living in the city because they get city resources but are essentially self governed with elections and poo poo and the law is basically an old west sheriff system rather than the nightmare of the big Meg)

Also plenty of Dredd stories are just absolutely nightmarish if you strip the jokes out, and that's before you take into account that the system is patently failing and things are actually better in the small pockets of civilization that operate more like the Old World and the city is essentially limping from disaster to disaster and the next one could be the end of what's left of America

You could make a case that Judge Dredd is a fantasy by someone who has never witnessed fascism up close, or at least someone who thinks fascism oppresses everyone instead of tacitly supporting public violence on their rivals.

I know he's not as well known, but it's telling you never see cops wearing Judge Dredd stickers and far too many Punisher ones.

Chudge Dredd would a see mutant beating down Judge Death and shoot the mutant.

Boogie is that IMC tweet "I have a political stance. My political stance is pro-consumer pro-gamer, that's it" except that's somehow actually his political stance

He's the "White Moderate" described in Martin Luther King's Letter from a Birmingham Jail.

quote:

First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
