    Refuse to acknowledge that this actually happened already in US history.

    Pull down the statues erected by Democrat fundraising so that you can close your eyes.

    Progressive Elites are nothing more that Re-Invented Antebellum Democrats.

    "Birth of a Nation," was previewed at the White House. This movie, "Hunt," is in the same exact league.

    Wrong... By only one side... An ANTIFA supporter and an avowed Socialist.

    Based on this comment, no doubt you insist on making **** up instead of having an honest discussion. When that changes, let me know. Then maybe we can have an honest discussion.

    Refuse to acknowledge the topic and then make up other ****, bringing up completely unrelated issues in history.

    When that has anything to do with the topic, feel free bring it up. Or keep playing make believe.

    Yes, because a movie celebrating the KKK is the same thing as a film condemning fictional murderers. The level of delusion required for this fantasy is truly amazing.

    No, you made **** up in your last post. I haven't run away from a single argument I've made. The problem is with the invention of fake arguments. Exhibit B.

    I have provided all FACT.

    Are you saying that mass executions like the St.Landry Massacre are fiction ?

    You dodged by bringing up an unrelated fact and playing make believe that it had anything to do with the discussion. Now you are introducing more straw men because you apparently can't handle the actual topic. Let me know when you can.

    I don't even know what you are babbling about. I asked what I made up and you just ramble on about nothing at all, how sad. Keep running...

    You are avoiding actual history.

    Why?

    Because it proves my point. "History repeats itself !"

    You don't really want an honest discussion because you would have to acknowledge that groups like ANTIFA are nothing less than Brown Shirt equivalents.

    "Violent rhetoric is violent rhetoric, there was violence last week committed by both sides, yet liberals were quick to place the blame solely on Trump. No doubt you can see no problem there, none at all..." Did you forget you posted this? Really? Do I need to link you to your own post?

    Feel free to bring up actual history that relates to the topic. You have failed to do so thus far. Meanwhile, if you feel like being intellectually honest, try reading what I've actually said about groups like antifa. And learn some actual history about the brown shirts.

    Seeing is all you did was whine about people making things up, I'm not sure I can see your point. Do you have a point or not?

    I already have...

    The only problem is that it doesn't suite you.

    The Brown Shirts were violent Socialists and ANTIFA are violent Socialists.

    ANTIFA has exhibited violent behavior in a number of ways over the past few months. Explosives, guns, clubs, knives, chemicals, and vehicles.

    Are you going to tell me that there is no equivalence? You deny the Democrat playbook of 150 years ago but are you also going to deny the Democrat playbook of 15 days ago?

    I've denounced ANTIFA as violent socialist thugs, though the Brown Shirts were only pseudo-socialists. The Nazi party had a socialist wing and a RW wing and they kicked out the socialists in favor of folkish white nationalism, exiling and executing the socialists. The racist playbook of 15 days ago has nothing to do with the Democrats or the left. Nor do ANY of these things have anything to do with the film. Care to talk about the film or are you going to keep evading?

    My argument is it doesn’t matter who the hero is. The piece of literature or movie can be used to make a point congruent with the perception of the villain, a point without relevance to the villain, or a point antithetical to the overlying perception of the villain.

    Literature pretty much requires protagonists and antagonists, it does not require the writer to use them in a set formula in relation to the ideas he/she is trying to convey. You brought up Terminator movies. Just because the machines were cast as villains doesn’t mean one of the purposes of the film wasn’t to introduce us to the possibilities of artificial intelligence the same way as Bicentennial Man.

    Did you not catch the message conveyed by contrasting sympathies invoked towards the collection of villains in Red Dawn?

    Why do both antagonists and protagonists pitch the same products in the same movie? Smoking is a good example.

    I dabbled a bit in creative writing in college. Made me look at literature from a little different angle than even a good literature professor can. I bet diving into the academic world of creation of propaganda would reveal another layer to this onion. And anyone who doesn’t believe in government propaganda in the film industry hasn’t looked very closely at the WW2 era. I’m not saying “The Hunt” is propaganda. I’m just pointing out the person who can’t or won’t look for signs of propaganda are it’s prime targets.

    Anyway, what are your other favorite takes on the subject. I thought “Beyond the Reach” with Michael Douglas was interesting.

    Only for those who can't or won't read. I haven't denied the existence of any of the historical events you've mentioned. All I've done is challenged their relevance . . . a challenge which you have steadfastly run away from as fast as you can.

    I for one, am disappointed that the studio backed down. I was looking forward to seeing it. Why? Well besides the obvious that Blumhouse has a good rep for horror flicks...

    1. If it was clearly a story about red state underdog protagonists, besting their blue state tormentors, that's a film I would like.

    2. If it was a story about blue staters torturing and killing red state working class hicks, that's a story that we need to see. Since politics has permeated everything in the culture, I would appreciate the honesty of them being open with their wet dreams of mass murder than hiding it.

    Either way, I suspect this will show up on streaming at some point so I'm sure I'll get a chance to find out.

    So you think websites, books, youtube videos, twitter accounts, etc., should be banned for inciting violence....and I don't believe we're talking fiction in those cases.

    As far as a movie in which deplorables murder innocent "liberals" or "Dems" in cold blood, someone should and could make that movie...only it wouldn't be fiction, it would be a documentary.

    Obviously, you and the real world exist in different dimensions. Try to zoom in on this one.
