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.)
