I did! Just before going to bed, coming attached to the same (“how fascist!”) message. And I dunno about that, it seems *reactionary* as hell, but the moral engine (“if a state does not properly exercise authority, it returns to vest in the individuals from whom it originated”) seems almost antipodal, though I suppose that is just a way of saying the volk precede and legitimize the state

That said, it’s certainly well-timed, if it does well maybe we get an Uber-ized version of Taxi Driver

also at this point “my guy”/“my dude” reads as “comrade (::condescending::)”, don’t do that

ALSO:

if you’re trying to claim the “noble, violent random defies the unworthy authorities to clean up the neighborhood” movie genre as an inherently white supremacist narrative

have you told the Wu-Tang Clan
