Will End Up Becoming A Cult Classic...


...A Decade From Now.

It's too fresh, and the sociopolitical wound is gaping and gushing all the red emotional goo at the seams, so a lot of people are too frenzied to enjoy the film for what it is.

It reminded me in some ways of Escape From New York City for a newer generation. It's way more nihilistic, though; but I liked the frantic, unpredictable pace and events.

reply

Agreed (it's a great movie....pretty much an 'Escape From New York' prequel)
Anyone that called it far-fetched (upon release) need only look at the Antifa/BLM/Chaz garbage from this year (to see that it's an all too frightening prospect)

reply

Great call, and yes you're spot-on.

The Antifa nonsense ruining and plaguing our great nation is a real-life precursor to the fictional events that unfolded in the film. Similar scenarios have already played out in real-life in the favelas of Brazil with BOPE, and a certain anti-riot squad back during the tumultuous days of South Korea.

The directors could have a bright future ahead of them if they make more stuff like this.

reply

The insurrectionists who want the South to secede are white nationalists. They were the opposite of Antifa.

reply

No, they're the same as Antifa.

Calling oneself "Anti-Fascist" while simultaneously enacting violence against a specific race/gender is in itself fascist.

All of Antifa's violence has also been enacted unprovoked, such as the couple defending their store from looters, the professor who incurred brain damage from being hit in the head with a bike lock, and the numerous people who have had their stores, homes, and cars vandalized for not kowtowing to their despotic fascism.

You really have no idea what fascism is, not to mention your generalizing about the world from fake Republican propaganda lie machines.

Antifa political activists are anti-racists who engage in protest tactics, seeking to combat fascists and racists such as neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other far-right extremists. This may involve digital activism, harassment, physical violence, and property damage against those whom they identify as belonging to the far right.[5] Antifa also participates in nonviolent activism such as poster and flyer campaigns, delivering speeches, marching in protest, and community organizing.[6][7][8]

Antifa are the good guys, white supremacists, neo-Nazis ( the real fascists ) and far-right extremists are the bad guys. Homeland security labelled those groups as BY FAR the greatest threat to the country. Some years back the FBI said the same.

Antifa does not vandalize stores.

There have been multiple efforts to discredit antifa groups via hoaxes on social media, many of them false flag attacks originating from alt-right and 4chan users posing as antifa backers on Twitter.[17][18][19] Some hoaxes have been picked up and reported as fact by right-leaning media.[17][20][21] During the George Floyd protests in May and June 2020, the Trump administration has blamed antifa for orchestrating the mass protests; analysis of federal arrests did not find links to antifa.[22] There have been repeated calls by Donald Trump and William Barr to designate antifa as a terrorist organization,[23] a move that academics, legal experts, and others argue would exceed the authority of the presidency and violate the First Amendment.[24][25][26] Several analyses, reports, and studies concluded that antifa is not a major domestic terrorism risk and ranked far-right extremism and white supremacy as the top risk.[16][27][28]

Fascism (from the Merriam Webster dictionary): a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control.

Antifa are pro-censorship, pro-violence, pro-looting, and pro-racist, especially against straight, white males and females, and sometimes even blacks.


Antifa political activists are anti-racists who engage in protest tactics, seeking to combat fascists and racists such as neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other far-right extremists.


There are no Far-Right groups. The only ones with balls to stand up to Antifa are the Proud Boys, but their leader isn't white... he's actually black/Hispanic. People like you and Antifa even tried to ruin his life by getting his bank to drop him. Look up Enrique Tarrio.

I'm sure you'll have a justification as to why fascists like Antifa should ruin the life of a minority for standing up for his rights and the Constitution, only further proving my point that Antifa (and belief-adjacent Liberals) are the real fascists.

Antifa does not vandalize stores.

As many will certainly tell you, you are not entitled to your own facts.

You have no basis to say "people like you" meaning me, because your idea of who I am and who is like me is simply your psychological projection based on fear or some misguided political stand.

Your Youtube link is non-existent ... like your argument.

reply

As many will certainly tell you, you are not entitled to your own facts.


Of course not, it's why I told you to look up Enrique Tarrio, showcasing how Liberals hate minorities if they don't fall down prostrate to accommodate the Democratic slave masters. It looks pretty bad when Antifa are targeting minorities like Enrique trying to force him to lose his home, family, and business, eh? It's almost equivalent to something you would expect from a certain group that contains a trilogy of 'K's.

Your Youtube link is non-existent ... like your argument.


Oh, it works. Just add the period between 'youtube' and 'com' and you should be able to view the video. I wasn't sure if Moviechat censors links like other places.

Hope that helps.

reply

> if they don't fall down prostrate to accommodate the Democratic slave masters.

Yeah, if they're stupid. That's why Republicans say they don't want them to vote.

Don't really care about the videos because they are all inevitably fake, or reach back to some right-wing perpetrator or fake.

reply

Sounds like a film that be lost during Chancellor Harris' reign!

Or something that will happen after she forms the United sates Police Force!

reply

Antifa is fighting the insurrectionists ... they are fascists, and Antifa hates fascists. Antifa means anti-fascist.

reply

Antifa *are* the fascists (despite what their brochure states)

reply

Ditship ... there is no brochure. Antifa shows up and puts the check on right-wing fascists, what is why the right-wing fascists want to be able to call them fascists. LOL.

reply

I could very easily cite links to countless videos of these virtuous 'cherubs' in action....Wherein, they harrass everyone, smash up their own towns, block roads, attack people (only in groups of course) and all in the name of (by your rationale) 'fighting fascism..............But you're clearly that far gone if you think in any way, shape or form, that Antifa are (quote) "fighting insurrectionists"

Seriously amigo, Antifa are nothing but a bunch of privileged 'basement dwellers', that are trying to take their videogame (blow-shit-up) mentality onto the streets (under some perceived notion that anyone that call them out, are fascists) it's easy to see why they team up with BLM (another bunch of freeloading malcontents)

Quit whilst you're behind (defending those losers)

reply

You have no idea who is in those videos. Every time they catch a violent lawbreaker they turn out to be a right-wing nationalist or neo-nazi. You're the loser and you need a lot more than my defense ... I'd just say you know not what you do.

reply

I think it was supposed to be a vision of what people like Donald Trump want to do to America. They hate multiculturalism.
