The concept of communicating with our neighbors and acquaintances without displaying anger and violence is becoming extinct... the 'human' part of human being is dying...

[@jeffwhite2511]

only if we let it.

[@johncasey5594]

Many prepper channels are laughing at this movie as completely unrealistic.

[@klnrklnr4433]

well, it is a movie lol.
preppers tend to not be the brightest bunch regardless.

January 6th, when a bunch of people walked into a building but the media painted it as a full blown insurrection

[@davidc3447]

Mr Garland should learn a bit more about idea history and terms.
Fascism is dead and buried with Mussolini (and that was a left thing, in an european context so it would be something like far far far left, but not communist, in the US context ; if you ever wondered about it...)
He must find another buzzword to describe an autocratic and dictatorial government.
I still will go and watch his movie tho.

[@jeffwhite2511]

Fascism is alive and well in the form of 'friendly'' fascism which is what both the left and right in the US are. Many Americans have fascist tendencies and elect autocrats. And both sides will gladly support bombing other countries if they don't give the US what it wants - Bush and Trump as well as Biden and Obama use fascist tactics against the developing world whether in Iraq, Ukraine, Gaza, Panama, etc...

If you have moved the overtain window so far to the left, that people on the left think they are in the centre, it is a problem.

[@greg.peepeeface]

Loved the movie, and if it were not for Garland, it would have suuuucked

[@klnrklnr4433]

could have easily been a cartoon violence action flick.
think thats actually what some of these yokels wanted.
