Great so random military soldiers are the main villains yet again....


Wasn't they the main villains in Purge Election? I'm tired of military fuckers being the main villains, i wanna see random whack jobs from the streets in creepy masks killing people, not government agents in military gear.....

Military fuckers wearing Ku Klux Klan masks to put it accurately (just in case it wasn’t made clear enough that whites are the devil), and because ya know, white people just want to murder black people. Smh.

Felt More like corrupt government/politicians and white people are all equally evil.

The kkk and mercanaries getting sent to a predominantly non-white area to murder.

Does anyone else think that Ther wouldn’t be an insane amount of uproar if such a demographic was being targeted?

I did enjoy the movie. Being half Caucasian, and the other half being of north African / South American this movie made me effing cringe. The story got me emotional.

The movie is a disgrace and does nothing but divide a country, especially when you put klan hoods on the militants. It’s ridix leftist propaganda. Imagine if the roles were reversed? The movie would have staged protests outside.

Of course it would. But the fashion now is to stoke tribalist identity whenever possible.

It really is bizarre. This tendency didn’t exist to anywhere NEAR this degree even 20 years ago. But now? Intersectionality rules. Are you black? Hispanic? Gay? Female? Then y’all need to link arms with one another and stand up to the evil, oppressive, white patriarchy!

It’s very weird. And very troubling.

Tribal identity is fine.... unless you're white it seems.

Wait a minute? It's almost like you're suggesting there is a double standard coming from the left?

The way the bad guy soldier in the apartment complex in the climax was dressed, he reminded me of Nazi SS.
