This film sounds all around stupid as shit and is basically just a trumpster murder porn.

The same people would be complaining if the film instead followed a group of young black men being hunted by rich white people for sport, but when it's their persecution delusion then it's somehow valid

I really hope they just cancel this movie. It sounds like the modern maga equivalent of God's not dead. Nothing but propaganda from another partisan group in the un-united failed state of America

I agree: This film is basically just a murder porn movie, of Humans hunting Humans.

There’s quite literally nothing on that page (Video) about this movie being about liberals killing Trump supporters.


I agree good point.

The film seems terrible from the trailer, but I don't think it is supposed to be political.

Maybe, but from what we can gather, it seems to be just a satire. If it turns out I'm wrong when the movie comes out, I'd have no problems admitting it.

The pearl-clutching that's already happening over blatant satire is hilarious tbqh.

Though, I do have to wonder if somebody will reference this in their manifesto as partial inspiration to commit some seriously fucked up shit in the name of their ideology.

He didn't comment on a blogger with eight followers who missed who the target of the satire was, he made the same old canard old comics have been making about how their old jokes don't work anymore.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the 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 can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

No, he commented on PC people missing the point.

Mel Brooks, one of Hollywood's funniest film-makers, has told the BBC political correctness is "the death of comedy".

He said Blazing Saddles, his Western spoof about a black sheriff in a racist town, could never be made today.

"It's OK not to hurt the feelings of various tribes and groups," he said. "However, it's not good for comedy.

"Comedy has to walk a thin line, take risks. It's the lecherous little elf whispering in the king's ear, telling the truth about human behaviour."


Not about this person in particular, but about PC killing comedy - or basically what this person did.

The same thing is happening here. There's no reason to get upset over a satirical movie here. Just people being touchy.

And if you think followers are important, Cathy Areu was on fox news decrying blazing saddles, saying that "auf wiedersehen" is a Nazi joke to an audience of millions, and on she is a journalist with 27,000 followers on twitter. So you can say she has an audience of millions or tens of thousands, depending on what exact metric you want to go by.

You know, it's not often that someone links some random thing on YouTube on a forum that actually elevates the conversation. Rather than get into an intractable back and forth with a poster over a strained point, I'm going to instead recommend people take the the time they would have taken to scroll past an argument they stopped giving two shits about three posts ago and instead actually take the time to watch this video. It's long, but sometimes you need to take your time to make a point. Thanks, dude. Maybe this sounds sarcastic but by five minutes in I legit stopped what I was doing and just committed to watching this.

Exactly, unless the liberals are going to tickle the Trump supporters to death, I dunno wtf this guy was thinking.

Are they like, Stalinists or something? The movie didn't really give off that vibe.

I don't remember anyone giving a shit about Get Out or The First Purge.
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

Problem is you refuse to watch any youtube video even if it shows video footage of someone doing something that he's been accused of doing.

I could see some people, particularly Trump supporters, getting a little worried about the possibility of unhinged people getting inspired by the movie plot and go recreate it. Which has happened before, granted, not in great numbers.

Perhaps a rethinking is in order. Things are tense. I still can’t help but laugh at a plot like this, but it’s not like I don’t understand why some could get iffy about it.
