Funny how even a movie like this must defang any anti-capitalist message

On the surface, to the uninitiated, this might seem like some kind of "power to the people" type of satire, but I noticed that when the idea of eradicating the poor came up, it was implied that the poor are nothing but a liability that must be paid for. No mention of the fact that the poor didn't pop into existence in a vacuum. Not even any mention of the idea of the poor being a symptom of the status quo. It was just something about 'they don't want to pay for their welfare'. Sure, because that's obviously how the poor wish to live, and they're simply too lazy to work hard enough to afford a space age security system. Their laziness trumps their fear of death. Naturally. That's the nature of peasants! And if you disagree, it's pretty sure you have a Mao shrine in your house.

Nah. The corporate influence oozes out of a movie like this, a movie that flirts with the very real subject of class warfare in the real world. Even Hunger Games looked like controlled opposition to me. You read history and it's a classic strategy of the ruling classes to baffle the plebeians with romantic notions of justice, to kill their motivation to pursue real justice. It goes at least as far back as the bread & games in the Roman Empire.

Why can't you be a non-conformist like everyone else?
