For the past few days, since reading and watching news about the film The Hunt, (now apparently canceled or delayed), Ive been planning to write a piece focusing on the screenplays kill list of deplorable American conservatives. My initial primary resource was the official movie trailer itself. Now, in a two minute movie trailer, nothing is included by chance, not even one frame. Halfway through, a bulletin board is shown with photos of the deplorables who have been kidnapped for the hunt depicted in the movie. You will note that along with an evil rhino hunter and a tiki-torch-marching neo-Nazi are a lady with a long gun in front of an American flag, some politicians on the steps of Congress, and a Range (Trump?) campaign worker, among others.
In the movie trailer for The Hunt, the only kill that is shown appears to be that of the presumably evil rhino hunter, whose graphic murder by arrow is depicted in close-up.
The original thrust of my piece was that this theme constitutes depersonalizing enemy citizens for a later genocide, to be conducted by an adequately enraged population of properly brainwashed drones. I was going to examine past genocides in Turkey, Russia, Germany, China, Cambodia and Rwanda that were in every case preceded by cruel soulless regimes (and their media and entertaimnemt lackies) systematically degrading and dehumanizing the groups to be targeted for eradication. The deplorable conservatives being kidnapped and set up to be hunted and murdered in The Hunt seemed to fit within that pattern, as we see the Left in 2019 branding all conservatives, and most of all white conservative heterosexual Christians, as inherently evil racists who need to be eradicated. Eradicated is the key word here.
(My 2,000 word essay is full of photos and links, so please go American Partisan to see it all.)
You were ahead of the curve...
Who cares if you help to instigate a bloody second civil war
Who cares if you HELP TO instigate a bloody second civil war
To repeat the final paragraph, maybe you'll get it this time:
Were constantly told by leftist politicians, media and entertainment (sic) figures that the solution to Americas mass shootings is the elimination of the hundreds of millions of firearms already in private hands. But semi-automatic magazine-fed rifles (and pistols, revolvers and shotguns) have been available for over a century, while mass shootings are a modern phenomenon. The guns didnt change, society did. And we can thank greedy murder pornographers like Jason Blum for helping to feed the moral depravity and stoke the fires of political and racial hatred. So in that light, his currently delayed film The Hunt makes perfect sense. Who cares if you HELP TO instigate a bloody second civil war, a dirty civil war that might lead to the deaths of millions of Americans, as long as you can make millions of dollars producing anti-American, anti-white and anti-conservative murder porn? Not murder pornographer Jason Blum. Hes laughingat you all the way to the bank.
Nope, I read what you Posted. I comprehend just fine.
You obviously didn’t comprehend my Reply to you.
Not going to get into a pissing contest here.
It’s just you and me and we just disagree.
Now I’m going to have that song in my head the rest of the day.
Well - as expected - the post was deleted.
But no zot.
“The guns didnt change, society did’
That is the money quote, IMHO.
I wonder if the wide spread practice of giving children, especially boys, psycho-tropic drugs for so-called ADD and depression has led to these shootings.
I notice all the victims are white. Actually, from what I could see of the cast of nobodies in IMDB, the whole thing is white, white, white.
Another thing to consider...as losses mount for the progov side, they will find it hard to recruit replacements. Such soldiers may also find they are no longer welcome in their pro liberty small towns and even their families may reject them, especially if the conflicts stretch beyond 1-2 years.
Brilliant analysis as usual.
Your supposition about 1/3 way through the piece may just be the gem, though. I think you might be on to something here, though you dismiss it out of hand:
Then a counter-narrative began to emerge. What if the liberal elites sipping champagne and nibbling caviar on their Gulfstream jet (along with their kidnapped victims drugged and unconscious in the back) were actually the villains, led by the evil character played by Hillary Swank? What if the deplorable conservatives, led by the character portrayed by Betty Gilpin, turned the tables and hunted their hunters? Would this legitimize the content of the film?
What if murder pornographer Blum's "artistic vision" was distorted by one of the writers, who secretly wanted to see the "deplorables" win, and wrote the ending that way?
Could this in fact be the REAL reason the film's advertising, then release, was pulled? Especially in the predictable calls by Demonrats for gun control, following the El Paso and Dayton murders?
Could it be that they wanted to stop the release of the film, because it portrays the "Deplorables" triumphing over the "Blues" and their elite sponsors, using FIREARMS? In the wake of the Lefty murder sprees, could the clear-thinking Lefty elites (rare, I know) have stepped into forestall what could have been a new "Red Dawn" to conservatives, an encouragement that we could win?
I don't know. Haven't seen the film. Nobody has. Maybe we will never know. But I do think you dismiss the possibility perhaps too quickly.
Still love your analysis, though. And I have all your books, of course.
Thanks. I wish I had another novel in the oven, but sad to say, I don’t.
Pisting?
That was an informative read....
Thank-you!!
You could always write up a documentary of today’s world. Pick a topic.
Archaeologists will find it akin to sci-fi.
I would suggest that they pack a lunch.....and I am NOT making light of your subject matter but take it rather seriously, its been done before and works. At Least 50%(?) of America arent the brightest stars.....
Yep.
