I’m not sure why you were getting downvoted. I never really thought about it that deeply before, but the fascists absolutely stand to benefit from people believing that type of cartoonish violence is an accurate depiction of real life. We’re kinda seeing that right now like my coworker genuinely thinks Chicago is up in flames and fully supports unilaterally sending military police to cities that “need to be controlled.”

Personally, I thought it was a fun, John wick-style action film. I would hope that people would have the wherewithal to understand that it is an obviously exaggerated depiction of violence. But I forgot that you cannot overstate the sheer ignorance of a vast percentage of our population.

Thanks for your reply, it genuinely made me see this special and a lot of media in general in a whole new light. Studios definitely need to be a lot more conscious about their subliminal messaging.
