I'm remaking some old videos that were made when I was a wee lad and didn't know what I was doing. I mean I still don't, but I understand a bit more now.

Possibly the most unrealistic thing of The Purge is that it presents a scenario where it's every man for himself. That's not how humans operate. We're a strongly social species, so if The Purge was a thing, people wouldn't huddle in their homes hoping for the best; People would organize weeks if not months in advance. Neighbourhoods would stablish a more or less regulated militia, barricades would be erected and strangers would be expected to stay the fuck out on pain of death. Also, police and soldiers who took their job seriously would simply be out and about as civilians acting almost like The Punisher, which would paradoxically make The Purge the most dangerous day of the year to actually commit any crime; These vigilantes would shoot first and ask questions never. Far from being a "do whatever the fuck you want" day, it would be a "you best stay on your very best behaviour or you'll get shot in the head" day, which kinda defeats the purpose.
Actually, the idea of “be nice or else” could be potent. Think about it, nearly the entire populous can basically become a police officer/vigilante one night of the year, it’s just a question of how willing are they to go after those who wronged them. Crime would go down significantly if criminals knew that the crimes they did could very easily put a massive target on their back
Another thought, the US would also be very vulnerable to foreign invaders on purge night. If someone infiltrated power plants there would be chaos. All the foreign power would have to do is take the major cities.
He made some good points, but I'm kinda surprised he didn't talk about the potential of a terrorist attack. Imagine sleeper cells armed, trained, and directed by a foreign entity activating on purge night and wreaking havoc upon US infrastructure and industry. We'd be completely helpless because they can't be prosecuted or even investigated.
@@cherokeevolfusa2891 Considering how the purge is basically a night of anarchy, I doubt that would apply. I don't even think they'd be able to enforce a rule like that.
Yeap, even If adding two rules to It, they could never keep track of terrorists or find out who did the attack with all of the test going on. maybe they would train their best single orphans to to stay monitor all they can from a safe room, or If they have families, bring then In too to keep their families safe, It can be done In the movie world lol.
I want a Purge series that’s just focused on petty crimes. Show me a contingent of people who just go jay walking, taking a penny without leaving one, walking on the grass, taking an illegal U-Turn, and drinking in public.
I'm surprised nobody ever talks about the Mexican and Canadian borders during a Purge scenario. For one thing, tons of people would probably seek safety from the Purge by leaving the US for the night and coming back once it was over, so there'd be huge traffic jams preceding and following the Purge every year. And during the actual Purge, would leaving/entering the US without going through immigration be legal too? Is it legal to shoot bullets across international borders and kill people on the other side? If you break the law in Mexico/Canada, are you safe if you cross over into the US during the Purge? If you kill a citizen of another country on US soil during the Purge, is that still legal, or could you be arrested for murder by said country once the Purge ended?
I had to scroll so far down for this that I legitimately thought not a single comment said this. Also I'm pretty sure you'd still be in the jurisdiction of whatever country you're in while you're there, it's just you may also need to follow some us laws in addition to that. While detaining us citizens may cause tensions, I dont think they'd stand for widespread murder.
HoopsAndDinoMan I suppose if you were to shoot a Mexican citizen from US soil during the purge, that would become an international court case. That trial would probably result in America being forced out of the UN or they would force the US to amend the Purge
@@commmander64 if you move into a vacent house that a bank owns during the purge u dont fucking own the house afterwards. Any discrepancies within your tax u can say goodbye to loans, tax claims, deductions etc
I live in a town of 20,000 in Nebraska. If the Purge happened here, half of the town would be out on the streets with their guns helping uphold what would be on other days the law. Just because the laws go away doesn't mean people's morals do.
I think one of the movies sets out the fact that initially, people are quite hippy peaceful during the purge. Getting drunk and high, partying etc. But the government initiate violence to encourage vendettas and thus make everyone more violent. Dumb logic I know.
I, for one, disagree. I think people really will turn bugf*** mad once the chips are down. One guy will murder one guy for some reason (good or bad) and that guy's friend will avenge him and on and on until that 20,000 is maybe 15,000 or 10,000.
Sorry, but just look at the middle east and how they have bloodfeuds that last for infinite generations.. Yeah not exactly like us, but they are humans so one can argue that this irrational behavior is in us. Seriously it wouldn't take long before shit escalate. First it's white collar crime, small time robbery, carjacking etc., but people try to protect their property and so it ends up with somebody dead - blood feud starts.
LL cool J oh yeah, it definitely is in us to do so. That’s why morals exist, for us not to be that way. Now, let’s just hope it lasts another century or two. It doesn’t seem like those morals are exactly winners anymore. It’s not a question of if the purge were to happen, but when it is going to happen. This video is a good warning into that.
In the second the explosives rule is broken by a group of rebels and there was an announcement that breaking the rule will have consequences. But that was really it
Simple if they are identified they could be sentanced to prison time but following the purge universe line of thought they would probably sentence them to death and air the video to send a warning to future bombers
But, you know, one of those soldiers is probably more capable than dozens of Regular Joe gunowners, and anything beyond a guerrilla resistance wouldn't stand a chance in Hell against American armor or air power.
@@ComradeSpirit average Joe gunowner spends more time and money honing their marksmanship than you might think. Often many of them are fresh out of the military. Air power and ground armor is useless if the pilots get shot dead while on the ground or the tank crews have to get out because someone just blew their treads off with IEDs. Nukes? Well, there goes the territory you wanted to rule over, useless for hundreds of years because it's not habitable for human life.
Except youtube rules aren't part of the "law", they could delete all content in their paltform and it would be perfectly legal, in fact, some small channels get deleted every once in a while, like a blogger with 0 subs who stored daily blogs about his life on youtube, many ppl come with this cases to reddit. Im talking about deletion without any infringements nor warnings, one day they're just gone
1) The day of the purge is known, so most sensible businesses would close down days if not weeks before the purge. Valuable inventory would be shipped to Mexico/Canada for temporary storage. Less valuable inventory would be sold out/not replenished in the weeks leading up to the purge. The most you could steal from walmart/banks are probably pens and gum. Large industrial sites like oil refineries would be shut down, and emptied of dangerous substances. Sabotaging an oil pipeline would be bad, but wouldn't lead to the catastrophic damage suggested here. 2) Most capital intensive businesses would die. Nuclear power plants/Intel chip manufacturing/etc take years to break even. If it can't turn a profit before it's burned to the ground, nobody will try it. This is probably the part that will hit the economy the hardest.
Yeah the purge would destroy business. How could a business trust anyone to guard their store or warehouse on purge night? The guards could steal with impunity too.
You forget new problems create new solutions and jobs. Ex military would finally have nice employment. Those multimillion and billion dollar companies would certainly shell out 200 million to a team of 25 discharged marines, they would certainly take the money to work for 1 day a year
They made that way people won't kill the president people working in the government etc. Think about if people could kill anything then the guards could kill the president if they were paid they won't even get arrested that's why they have some rules
Tina Kennedy yeaaa i just read that & it made zero sense. im assuming you meant so the government aka the Founding Fathers Party wouldnt have to replace there elected officials and *cough cough* : lose their position in office, so there’s that rule. Although, like Cody mentioned, every other single aspect of American life would be crippled by an ACTUAL Purge, so, im not sure why they just don’t say “fuck it go crazy”
@@henrycosta8448 Yeah, the new founding fathers should've been just been anarchists that do nothing other than abolishing the government (without telling people that so they get elected), would actually make so much more sense.
Do they think that laws are the only thing that keep people from going on a rampage. Most of the people would just live their normal lives and be a little more careful.
I would genuinely just go to any store see something I like and take it, any would do the same but killing? Dude we aren't psychos, at most done would look for that asshole and beat them
I always wondered, despite it being a rule that people can’t kill gov officials during the purge, what’s to stop them? I guess the NFF would have security with them, but throw enough people at them that could fail and they can’t exactly call the police or national guard. Also what’s to stop military leaders from staging a coup during the Purge since any civilian law enforcement couldn’t resist them?
Pretty much the senate and members of the house would get wiped out entirely, a lot of people would go for them first. Unless they're really really hidden, or not in the country. Yeah, thinking about it, the entire gov and rich would probably just flee the country the week before the purge. I never seen the movie, do people just leave the country before the purge to avoid it?
@@marlonmoncrieffe0728 well to be fair they might come together to siege the home of the politicians who put the purge in place. Plus they'd never be able to confirm who did what there so everyone would come out of it innocent
@@Lysergic_ Most people weather the storm and just accept the relative peace and prosperity the rest of the year. And who is 'they'? How many and how strongly could anti-purgers be able to storm any one of the hundreds of congressmembers in their heavily-fortified homes?
@@macaroon_nuggets8008 So when I kidnapped the villager stole his wheat and forced him into a iron golem farm after murdering his family and burning down and blowing up his village the selectively breeding him for 97 generations for perfect trades this was what me helping him with his taxes?
Cody's just talking about how shitty a purge act would do for the economy and lives of the people. However, even if people like him and I hate the purge due to its ridiculous setting, it's still interesting nonetheless. Take The Walking Dead, do you really think those slow shambling undead can really infect a lot of people if they're three times slower than you average human just walking around? Great TV Show for sure, but realistic zombie apocalypse scenario? Not much.
This is mostly meant to show teenagers what the purge would really do, so they can stop fantasizing about it being a real scenario and to realize how destructive it'd be. Also to dismiss the argument of blaming over population for everything related to incorrect distribution of resources.
Step 1: Initiate purge Step 2: People embezzel money Step 3: Realise the purge is not a good idea Step 4: Just blame Russia for the monetary loss Step 5: Profit?
Louis Duarte This is what Russia is doing. They created fake Facebook accounts to do advertisements on fake meetings and fake rallies, then they hacked the ballots in eight states, which Illinois officially declared that. Then Trump got elected. Before the election, Putin himself said that he would declare World War 3 on America if Hillary Clinton gets elected as president. So technically Putin is using Trump as his own puppet (without Trump even realizing that it's happening) in a way that America would be destabilized and so when the perfect time happens, he would invade North America and after that settle a colonial regime (assuming Canada would also be invaded as they would take action to defend America)
arachnonixon No, he's talking about in the world of a purge. If you're plotting a bank heist on any day that isn't the purge, it's conspiracy to commit grand robbery. That, in itself, is a crime. There's a good chance he would be arrested before the purge night even arrived. Obviously plotting a fictional what if situation isn't a crime.
Easy constitutional argument: They are preparing to commit a crime on a day where crime is a constitutional right. In fact, stretching this, premeditation arrests would be very difficult as they could say they are preparing for the purge.
Step 1: Rent a library book so that the due date is on the purge Step 2: Don't return book on purge Step 3: Return book the next day Step 4:??? Step 5: Profit
People always forget that no laws doesn’t just mean “I can commit any crime I want” it also means anyone can punish you for committing any crime anyway they want
People really forget that the social contract still exists. Even in current day hellholes people still try to be good people because we’re just empathetic as a species.
@@chefcabbage no they don't. He's saying the US would no longer be a country because it would be too devastated to manage its own territory. the states or groups of em would become countries
@@chefcabbage i didn't miss the point. you can't say he was incorrect because you don't know whether he meant literally or not. In this kind of scenario it isn't unreasonable to assume he really does mean it will literally not be a country. Maybe you should look up what country means and stop being rude to people on the internet.
3:11 Lol, I'm from Venezuela and I can totally agree with that, I'm so glad me and my family could leave the country before it gets even worse (yes, the situation in Venezuela could get even worse). Also nice video I really like your content
Charlie Kelly King of Rats well I lived there my whole life so I can't say I don't like my country and that doesn't have any good left because the truth is Venezuela is a really beautiful country with mountains, forests, rivers, towns, cities and mostly really kind people, but what is really sad is that this "socialist government" (as they called themselves but to me is more like communism) ruined the country and turn it into a poor nation, making people to starve to death, making the soldiers to hurt us when we don't speak good of the government, people who used to be good turned into thieves because they don't have enough money to buy food to their families, it felt so bad it felt like we didn't have any freedom at all, like being in a prison without being in one. But even if Venezuela right now is in anarchy with a dictator that destroyed our economy and the beauty of my country I still hope that one day democracy shall come again and with it a great leader to make our nation great again as in the past.
Aiden Campbell it's okay maybe not so many people in Venezuela understands but I kinda understand why no one help us. First of all USA can't just declare war on Venezuela or try to kill Maduro because well Chavez (the other man before Maduro that took power until he died from cancer) made some relations with the Chinese and Russians so probably if a war between the US and Venezuela happens China or Russia might get involved and Maduro is keeping those relations but eh who knows maybe the Russians or the Chinese wouldn't risk a WW3 just for Venezuela. Second of all the UN doesn't want USA to invade Venezuela cause that wouldn't help the country at all and as painful as it sounds they are kinda right, because just think about it, Venezuela a country with no war nor armed conflict but still people are dying from starvation and anarchy, then goes to a war against a super power we wouldn't last a month, that will just make our economy drop faster than ever and the situation even worse and probably they won't let anybody to leave Caracas or even the country. But well who knows maybe non of this things would happen if the US tries to invade Venezuela, maybe they'll just land in there and kill Maduro and all those assholes in the government in just some week, maybe the soldiers will surrender after seeing those American flag in the horizon, maybe the people would join the Americans in the fight, only God knows what would happen, but hey isn't that how history works?, there are a lot of "if" in history like, I don't know, what if Chavez never came to power? What if war on terror never happen? What if Latin America was united? Is the beautiful thing about history it can tell us about what will happen in the future or what will become in the future and we an even ask ourselves what would happens if it wasn't like this but like that and that kind of stuff (one of the reasons I found this TH-cam channel I actually love history and alternate history). In my opinion I think if someone tries to help Venezuela it could go well or bad, we will never know until someone does it, but let me tell you something, Venezuela won't be like this for much longer I know something will happen, i know this will change, I just don't know when will happen but until that day comes and Venezuela could be a good country again, Venezuela may resist. Anyway don't be sorry about the US or any European government that doesn't want or can't come to help us there are plenty of reasons about why no one helps Venezuela, maybe one day someone will come and free us but eh, as I said history have a lot of "if" so for now we will have to wait. And thanks for your comment I really appreciate it!
@Anthony Valenti ahh i see, i thought what you meant as "paradise" was in the literal sense of the word :P. Forgive my misunderstanding, clearly i'm uneducated
Something that makes the idea improbable is that just because you make something legal, doesn't mean people will go around killing others. Yes there would be a lot of dead people, but I don't think people would actually kill to drain hate to others.
I think a lot of homeless would get killed that night. People really really hate the homeless but have something to lose. If you gave them the freedom to wipe out the homeless, you would see a lot of them dying. It would be a net positive for society.
@@Maxfromohio2155 They're on drugs, don't have easy access to guns, and aren't capable of managing their own lives, much less forming some sort of militia to protect themselves.
No to mention real estate moguls could just burn down a few houses so the property value drops, allowing them to buy the remaining house and land of the burn down one. Something like the side missions in saint row 2. Also rival business would try to sabotage one another in hope of bankrupt them allowing them to buy them out and take over their business.
Corprate wars during purge night would be crazy. Disneys armys would just steamroller every other company out there. Imagine all the Disney mascots wielding AKs and burning down America. Side movie!
If you want "It's legal to break into a house, kill people, and steal their crap," you shouldn't say _all_ crime is legal. You should just say the crime you want to be legal, is legal. To any government watchlist officials reading this: Please note the _if._
US Govt sponsored Anarchy is a staple in South America (ask Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Honduras, and Chile to name a few Latin American countries "*C*h*I*quit*A* Banana" helped overthrow those respective democratically elected governments, and replaced them with puppet governments(Contras for Nicaragua) that advanced US interests)
"Ignorance is bliss" people say that because if you're not intelligent then it doesn't matter how bad the world gets you would be ignorant and thus care free.
While the worst problem would be purely economical, cause even prior to the purge stocks would plummet. I mean just having a bill in congress to approve it would start to shake otherwise strong stocks as investors get worried. (the fact that it reached that point would be worrying enough) so I would say it doesn't even have to start before America's economy is in ruins.
You know, I came up with an interesting alternative here... So, something that could happen is the formation of militias. After the first couple disastrous purges, neighborhoods of innocent people with guns would unite to form a paramilitary force. Every purge, this little army would guard homes, power plants, and other important buildings, and defend them from the psychopaths who want to kill and destroy as much as possible. I think this would happen because during the first couple purges, many people would lose friends and family, and maybe some of them will be hurt enough to decide to unite and try to keep order. Others would be disgusted with the immorality of the people in the purge, and they would also be motivated to stop it. Anyone hurt by the purge with a support system behind them would join this new group. As this group grows more powerful, running advertising campaigns before every purge, it would grow bigger, and eventually, as people united into neighborhood defense groups, and then into towns, cities, states, and eventually the country, the purge would become more of a national defense drill than a simple anarchy/population control scheme. It would lead to the creation of a second, seasoned army, an ultra militia, that would specialize in defense from conventional attack. That’s just my thoughts though, what do you guys think?
I know this is a joke (and a funny one, I might add), but technically, it's not illegal to cross without looking both ways. Just incredibly stupid and suicidal. Though, I'd imagine an officer WOULD pull you aside if they saw you doing this and remind you to look both ways.
What’s credit card fraud? Ok what insurance fraud is....I think. It’s when you pretend someone else burned down ur house or car or something that’s insured just to get the insurance money. Whats credit card fraud
Melon Gamer I’m turning 19.... don’t own a credit card but I’m not exactly 5yrs old either Edit: now that I just use common sense it’s probably just when someone steals your card and pretends to be you and uses said card to buy stuff
I wish parodies still existed. I'd love to see a purge parody movie that's basically just everything in this video happens and the leaders are just "welp"
@@okaywhatevernevermind Yeah and if they make flying illegal during the night, many other things should be banned too and then it would get out of hands.
In the purge universe, frankly, there's probably a gang of crossing guards that walk around the town, attacking any jaywalkers with small stop signs while aggressively blowing whistles at them.
Cody didn't mention the fact that, even if Americans didn't start a god damm insurrection after the proposal of any scenario resembling the purge, America would almost certainly be invaded and conquered by the sane nations of the world. Even Canada or Mexico alone could conquer all of America in that kind scenario. And even if America's sworn enemies invaded during purge night, they would definitely be greeted, by the vast majority of Americans, as liberators freeing them from fascist tyranny. Also, FYI, at least half of the US population would flee the country, causing the largest refugee crisis in history, and giving the world another reason to liberate America.
As a Canadian, our entire military is a Moses strapped with enough c4 to leave a small crater. I’m pretty sure we couldn’t conquer America even if it was in the middle of the purge
I think a purge series focused on a group of vigilantes would be interesting. People who devote themselves to protecting others. It'd be like batman was legal for one night a year.
I laughed at how unsurprised RIck was about it. Like yet another planet with a Purge. "Some other planets give it snazzier names like The Cleansing or The Red Times, and this one other planet dropped all pretense and just calls it Murder Night." I may be paraphrasing, but you get the point.
That's kinda leaving the genre of alternate history and goes into fantasy worldbuilding. I mean it's an interesting topic, but entails way too much specualtion for this format.
If you where an American and the purge somehow worked (in universe)- why don’t you just book a holiday for 2 weeks to another non-purging country, don’t tell any of your friends or neighbors & enjoy your annual break? Yeah your house MIGHT get broken into but at least you’re not dead.
That's the only problem with that solution - you'd come back from your annual Purge vacation to find your house looted and probably burned to the ground because you weren't there to defend it. And it's highly likely to have been your neighbors (who are most likely to have seen you leave) who did the deed! It'd be low risk to them, since they'd know you're gone.
@@macnut68 solution electric fence. Bulletproof windows and a security system that releases mustard gas if the punch code isn't put in in time. Have an automatic ventilation system after an youre good
So you would stay and attempt to protect a house and risk your life? If looters choose to target your house what are you gonna do? return fire against a group of what can be 10+ ppl? you're better off visiting another country and hoping your house doesn't gets targeted, because if it does, chances are you won't be able to do anything about it
so Cody, figured you would enjoy knowing this. You were actually brought up in one of my graduate history courses. I have been watching your content for a while, but it was actually the instructor who mentioned it. Kudos to you, keep up the good work.
I love how The Purge sponsored this video, however, you're just proving how stupid the concept it. (I know there is still entertainment value in the show, but it's funny how preposterous the idea is).

"I'm an overly critical downer on things not meant for accuracy." As am I. Literally every movie, tv show, etc. That i watch has a large amount of my brother and I whispering about how unrealistic it is.
I thought it was revealed in the second movie that the explanation of “kills so many people unemployment goes down” was actually a lie, and the government has to do a lot of other stuff to make things work, including using their own hit squads.
"But I think that got removed." That was in the more recent film as part of a plot by the Founding Fathers to depose a candidate who is trying to rid the Purge, which they don't want.

Altough, that could work. Maybe.
The Purge inadvertently creates a Socialist Revolution. Aw yisssss.
Actually, the idea of “be nice or else” could be potent. Think about it, nearly the entire populous can basically become a police officer/vigilante one night of the year, it’s just a question of how willing are they to go after those who wronged them.

I live in a town of 20,000 in Nebraska. If the Purge happened here, half of the town would be out on the streets with their guns helping uphold what would be on other days the law. Just because the laws go away doesn't mean people's morals do.
Except in the cities it's the opposite. So, yeah. That's exactly what it means.
I think one of the movies sets out the fact that initially, people are quite hippy peaceful during the purge. Getting drunk and high, partying etc. But the government initiate violence to encourage vendettas and thus make everyone more violent. Dumb logic I know.
I, for one, disagree. I think people really will turn bugf*** mad once the chips are down.
One guy will murder one guy for some reason (good or bad) and that guy's friend will avenge him and on and on until that 20,000 is maybe 15,000 or 10,000.
Sorry, but just look at the middle east and how they have bloodfeuds that last for infinite generations.. Yeah not exactly like us, but they are humans so one can argue that this irrational behavior is in us.
Seriously it wouldn't take long before shit escalate. First it's white collar crime, small time robbery, carjacking etc., but people try to protect their property and so it ends up with somebody dead - blood feud starts.
LL cool J oh yeah, it definitely is in us to do so. That’s why morals exist, for us not to be that way. Now, let’s just hope it lasts another century or two. It doesn’t seem like those morals are exactly winners anymore. It’s not a question of if the purge were to happen, but when it is going to happen. This video is a good warning into that.
Another problem is without law enforcement, what's stopping people from breaking those 2 restrictions anyway?
In the second the explosives rule is broken by a group of rebels and there was an announcement that breaking the rule will have consequences. But that was really it
Simple if they are identified they could be sentanced to prison time but following the purge universe line of thought they would probably sentence them to death and air the video to send a warning to future bombers
except were are a nation in which gunowners outnumber military and police 300:1
But, you know, one of those soldiers is probably more capable than dozens of Regular Joe gunowners, and anything beyond a guerrilla resistance wouldn't stand a chance in Hell against American armor or air power.
@@ComradeSpirit average Joe gunowner spends more time and money honing their marksmanship than you might think. Often many of them are fresh out of the military. Air power and ground armor is useless if the pilots get shot dead while on the ground or the tank crews have to get out because someone just blew their treads off with IEDs. Nukes? Well, there goes the territory you wanted to rule over, useless for hundreds of years because it's not habitable for human life.
If the purge really happened, I would post a controversial youtube video without fears of getting demonetized
But then TH-cam could take down the video as Google wouldn't have to follow the law either...
but posting a controversial youtube video is not a crime? they'd just take it down

1) The day of the purge is known, so most sensible businesses would close down days if not weeks before the purge. Valuable inventory would be shipped to Mexico/Canada for temporary storage. Less valuable inventory would be sold out/not replenished in the weeks leading up to the purge. The most you could steal from walmart/banks are probably pens and gum. Large industrial sites like oil refineries would be shut down, and emptied of dangerous substances. Sabotaging an oil pipeline would be bad, but wouldn't lead to the catastrophic damage suggested here.
2) Most capital intensive businesses would die. Nuclear power plants/Intel chip manufacturing/etc take years to break even. If it can't turn a profit before it's burned to the ground, nobody will try it. This is probably the part that will hit the economy the hardest.
Yeah the purge would destroy business. How could a business trust anyone to guard their store or warehouse on purge night? The guards could steal with impunity too.
who doesn't want to steal pens and guns

I always wondered, despite it being a rule that people can’t kill gov officials during the purge, what’s to stop them? I guess the NFF would have security with them, but throw enough people at them that could fail and they can’t exactly call the police or national guard. Also what’s to stop military leaders from staging a coup during the Purge since any civilian law enforcement couldn’t resist them?
You overestimate how many people would organize to siege a heavily fortified politician's home.
Pretty much the senate and members of the house would get wiped out entirely, a lot of people would go for them first. Unless they're really really hidden, or not in the country. Yeah, thinking about it, the entire gov and rich would probably just flee the country the week before the purge. I never seen the movie, do people just leave the country before the purge to avoid it?

Take The Walking Dead, do you really think those slow shambling undead can really infect a lot of people if they're three times slower than you average human just walking around? Great TV Show for sure, but realistic zombie apocalypse scenario? Not much.
I am sure the people involved in the making of the Purge know how bat shit insane it is, so I doubt they mind Cody's input.
This is mostly meant to show teenagers what the purge would really do, so they can stop fantasizing about it being a real scenario and to realize how destructive it'd be. Also to dismiss the argument of blaming over population for everything related to incorrect distribution of resources.

The Purge sounds like something Russia would engineer to have America shoot itself in both feet.
@@louisduarte8763 It does though
Louis Duarte This is what Russia is doing. They created fake Facebook accounts to do advertisements on fake meetings and fake rallies, then they hacked the ballots in eight states, which Illinois officially declared that. Then Trump got elected. Before the election, Putin himself said that he would declare World War 3 on America if Hillary Clinton gets elected as president. So technically Putin is using Trump as his own puppet (without Trump even realizing that it's happening) in a way that America would be destabilized and so when the perfect time happens, he would invade North America and after that settle a colonial regime (assuming Canada would also be invaded as they would take action to defend America)

Charlie Kelly King of Rats well I lived there my whole life so I can't say I don't like my country and that doesn't have any good left because the truth is Venezuela is a really beautiful country with mountains, forests, rivers, towns, cities and mostly really kind people, but what is really sad is that this "socialist government" (as they called themselves but to me is more like communism) ruined the country and turn it into a poor nation, making people to starve to death, making the soldiers to hurt us when we don't speak good of the government, people who used to be good turned into thieves because they don't have enough money to buy food to their families, it felt so bad it felt like we didn't have any freedom at all, like being in a prison without being in one. But even if Venezuela right now is in anarchy with a dictator that destroyed our economy and the beauty of my country I still hope that one day democracy shall come again and with it a great leader to make our nation great again as in the past.
Sorry about your current situation and our government being close to no help.
Aiden Campbell it's okay maybe not so many people in Venezuela understands but I kinda understand why no one help us. First of all USA can't just declare war on Venezuela or try to kill Maduro because well Chavez (the other man before Maduro that took power until he died from cancer) made some relations with the Chinese and Russians so probably if a war between the US and Venezuela happens China or Russia might get involved and Maduro is keeping those relations but eh who knows maybe the Russians or the Chinese wouldn't risk a WW3 just for Venezuela. Second of all the UN doesn't want USA to invade Venezuela cause that wouldn't help the country at all and as painful as it sounds they are kinda right, because just think about it, Venezuela a country with no war nor armed conflict but still people are dying from starvation and anarchy, then goes to a war against a super power we wouldn't last a month, that will just make our economy drop faster than ever and the situation even worse and probably they won't let anybody to leave Caracas or even the country. But well who knows maybe non of this things would happen if the US tries to invade Venezuela, maybe they'll just land in there and kill Maduro and all those assholes in the government in just some week, maybe the soldiers will surrender after seeing those American flag in the horizon, maybe the people would join the Americans in the fight, only God knows what would happen, but hey isn't that how history works?, there are a lot of "if" in history like, I don't know, what if Chavez never came to power? What if war on terror never happen? What if Latin America was united? Is the beautiful thing about history it can tell us about what will happen in the future or what will become in the future and we an even ask ourselves what would happens if it wasn't like this but like that and that kind of stuff (one of the reasons I found this TH-cam channel I actually love history and alternate history). In my opinion I think if someone tries to help Venezuela it could go well or bad, we will never know until someone does it, but let me tell you something, Venezuela won't be like this for much longer I know something will happen, i know this will change, I just don't know when will happen but until that day comes and Venezuela could be a good country again, Venezuela may resist. Anyway don't be sorry about the US or any European government that doesn't want or can't come to help us there are plenty of reasons about why no one helps Venezuela, maybe one day someone will come and free us but eh, as I said history have a lot of "if" so for now we will have to wait.

Something that makes the idea improbable is that just because you make something legal, doesn't mean people will go around killing others. Yes there would be a lot of dead people, but I don't think people would actually kill to drain hate to others.

How long would it take to destroy the U.S on Purge night?
Answer: 7 minutes
Meh, I'd say 5 min.
While the worst problem would be purely economical, cause even prior to the purge stocks would plummet. I mean just having a bill in congress to approve it would start to shake otherwise strong stocks as investors get worried. (the fact that it reached that point would be worrying enough) so I would say it doesn't even have to start before America's economy is in ruins.

World: Economy grown, Poor Countries are getting better, Peace, Religion peace
USA: Purge (for some reason)
You know, I came up with an interesting alternative here...
So, something that could happen is the formation of militias. After the first couple disastrous purges, neighborhoods of innocent people with guns would unite to form a paramilitary force. Every purge, this little army would guard homes, power plants, and other important buildings, and defend them from the psychopaths who want to kill and destroy as much as possible. I think this would happen because during the first couple purges, many people would lose friends and family, and maybe some of them will be hurt enough to decide to unite and try to keep order. Others would be disgusted with the immorality of the people in the purge, and they would also be motivated to stop it. Anyone hurt by the purge with a support system behind them would join this new group. As this group grows more powerful, running advertising campaigns before every purge, it would grow bigger, and eventually, as people united into neighborhood defense groups, and then into towns, cities, states, and eventually the country, the purge would become more of a national defense drill than a simple anarchy/population control scheme. It would lead to the creation of a second, seasoned army, an ultra militia, that would specialize in defense from conventional attack.

Essex Class I'm gonna steal a car!... and replace it with an electric one!
If the Purge happens, I would stand on the grass next to the sign that says "Do not stand on the grass".
ARE YOU CRAZY?! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!
Despicable. That is on a whole another level. Horrible.
This is too much, you have gone to far my friend
*you can hear the grass applauding in the background*
Cody didn't mention the fact that, even if Americans didn't start a god damm insurrection after the proposal of any scenario resembling the purge, America would almost certainly be invaded and conquered by the sane nations of the world. Even Canada or Mexico alone could conquer all of America in that kind scenario. And even if America's sworn enemies invaded during purge night, they would definitely be greeted, by the vast majority of Americans, as liberators freeing them from fascist tyranny. Also, FYI, at least half of the US population would flee the country, causing the largest refugee crisis in history, and giving the world another reason to liberate America.
As a Canadian, our entire military is a Moses strapped with enough c4 to leave a small crater. I’m pretty sure we couldn’t conquer America even if it was in the middle of the purge
I think a purge series focused on a group of vigilantes would be interesting. People who devote themselves to protecting others. It'd be like batman was legal for one night a year.
Best purge movie was the rick and morty episode.
I laughed at how unsurprised RIck was about it. Like yet another planet with a Purge. "Some other planets give it snazzier names like The Cleansing or The Red Times, and this one other planet dropped all pretense and just calls it Murder Night." I may be paraphrasing, but you get the point.
Perhaps Rick was unsurprised because the idea was part of an old Star Trek episode, and the idea is much, MUCH older...
Do you have an iq of 10000000?
What if the Byzantine/east Roman empire never fell?
drax_attax it didnt it, it reformed into the USA.
What if Britain didn't win the Crimean war?
Make Istanbul Constantinople again.
collin ohlinger make Constantinople Byzantium. Make Italy Rome again
@Kirby Man I don't see it anywhere
What if Humanity was a aquatic species?
Interesting thought. I second this.
My mind immediately went to oceans becoming the continents, and continents becoming the oceans
Well then, sounds like an idea for an alternate history series for Cody to write.
That's kinda leaving the genre of alternate history and goes into fantasy worldbuilding. I mean it's an interesting topic, but entails way too much specualtion for this format.
Perhaps a genre fusion, then?
You're about... a year too early.
If you where an American and the purge somehow worked (in universe)- why don’t you just book a holiday for 2 weeks to another non-purging country, don’t tell any of your friends or neighbors & enjoy your annual break?
Yeah your house MIGHT get broken into but at least you’re not dead.
It may also be feasible for you to request asylum somewhere else if you can't go on vacation.
That's the only problem with that solution - you'd come back from your annual Purge vacation to find your house looted and probably burned to the ground because you weren't there to defend it. And it's highly likely to have been your neighbors (who are most likely to have seen you leave) who did the deed! It'd be low risk to them, since they'd know you're gone.
@@macnut68 solution electric fence. Bulletproof windows and a security system that releases mustard gas if the punch code isn't put in in time. Have an automatic ventilation system after an youre good
So you would stay and attempt to protect a house and risk your life? If looters choose to target your house what are you gonna do? return fire against a group of what can be 10+ ppl? you're better off visiting another country and hoping your house doesn't gets targeted, because if it does, chances are you won't be able to do anything about it
At that point any reasonable person would move out of the country or overthrow the government.
If the purge happened in the EU I would post memes without the fear of the EU confiscating my memes
F
EU: "All crime is legal for 12 hours, expect for making, sharing and possesing memes xd"
Oh yeah, because they burned that giant fish because of laws
Only in the U.S bro, enjoy the gulag.

Finally.
Now I know where to go to participate in the purge irl
just make sure you have the proper political 'influences'

@@MrOrangehorseman Aww whats wrong can't accept the truth?
@@MrOrangehorseman Lol you are just triggered.
@@MrOrangehorseman Go fuck yourself.
so Cody, figured you would enjoy knowing this. You were actually brought up in one of my graduate history courses. I have been watching your content for a while, but it was actually the instructor who mentioned it. Kudos to you, keep up the good work.
I love how The Purge sponsored this video, however, you're just proving how stupid the concept it. (I know there is still entertainment value in the show, but it's funny how preposterous the idea is).
The thumbnail looks like the cover to a punk rock album.
History House Productions Their new album looks pretty nice
Everyone else on the purge: *killing and stealing ect*
Me: *nutting on no nut November*
The purge is on March I think
Ice bear
Me: (setting down to enjoy my own company)
[*SLAM!*]
The front door is kicked in.
Me: “Eeep!!”
Mysterious assailants: “We demand yer toaster oven!!!”
Me: “I’m not home!”
Jackie R, sssssshhhh, just enjoy this rare meme.
NO UNFORGIVABLE
The purge is in March
If the Purge happened I would be funneling illegal memes to Europe.
You would get arrested by Europe forces since they don't do the purge
Diet Sexual_Chocolate Not if he was on US soil
@@MinecraftBoy-bj5bn hmm but that bets the question if stuff like that would be recognized outside US soil.
Like if someone stole money overseas, would be be chased down or simply say ' pure night ' in court
lolis
hell yea! and they'd shut our internet connection to them off for 12 hours a year :(
Video starts at 0:00. You can thank me later.
How about I thank you now
Does it really? I thought it started at 0:0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Wow, thanks Kurt
Aren’t you supposed to be dead?
Kurt Cobain Thanks, man. Finding that would've taken me, like, 12 hours lol
Can you make a video what if TH-cam never started demonetizing so many people?
Society would travel 50 years into the future
*sigh*
THAT'S NOT HOW ECONOMICS WORKS

Base argument against 99 % of all distopian scenarios. :)
Dude wtf. I’m watching the purge on Netflix and I see this notification
Must be the Google spybot Gods
I was watching the first purge and was at the point where the neighbours come in to help when I got the notification.
Ripper the Jack "help"
Getting a sense of Deja vu
Yeah a long time ago he did a video about the purge
Deja vu
I've just been in this place before
Higher on the street
And I know it's my time to go
Calling you, and the search is a mystery
Standing on my feet
It's so hard when I try to be me, woah
Deja vu
I've just been in this time before
Higher on the beat
And I know it's a place to go
Calling you and the search is a mystery
Standing on my feet
It's so hard when I try to be me, yeah
Demon Fox90 nobody asked for that but thank you so much

@Stephanie Logan woah calm down satan
if the purge happens i am downloading a car
I actually liked your older videos a lot
They would have to have a lot of artillery to do it though
*up sam,shut
#ArtilleryOnly ?
no u
"I'm an overly critical downer on things not meant for accuracy." As am I. Literally every movie, tv show, etc. That i watch has a large amount of my brother and I whispering about how unrealistic it is.
I keep repeating the "That's not how economics work" part, it's so funny.
I thought it was revealed in the second movie that the explanation of “kills so many people unemployment goes down” was actually a lie, and the government has to do a lot of other stuff to make things work, including using their own hit squads.
What if Britain was connected to Europe?
In other words, what if England won the Hundred Years War
MrBanausos what naval and aerial superiority if Britain was connected to Europe lmao
The Nazis would just Blitzkrieg their way to London eight hours after invading by land.

Me outside GameStop: let me in, let me iiiiiinnn.
government-sponsored anarchy *im ded*
The tv show is so good season 2 is great I love how esme and Ryan's story crossed over
Anyone one know where Jake Paul lives?
Careful, his house is in the woods and could be armed with MG turrets and drones on purge night.
@@Kidradd66 nope its a t shirt cannon firing his merch at people
@Spearman66 - I hope so ! The Airhead would accidentally kill himself in the first 5 minutes and his brother would definatly upload the video
Honestly, who needs the Purge when you could just go to Chicago for that delicious 24/7 Battle Royale?
"But I think that got removed."
That was in the more recent film as part of a plot by the Founding Fathers to depose a candidate who is trying to rid the Purge, which they don't want.
oh yeah i remember, but it backfired right? Purge Election Day?
@@tia6437 Yeah
- video starts off with happy whistling and burning buildings -
Me: _Ok then_
Beautiful
