I'd watch that

I would just steal stuff. Like steal the CEO's car and drive it to work the next day.
Edit: So by arguments against this logic. You could go to jail for a video of you capping someone the next day. After all it was legal that day but the next day at the very least you open yourself up to civil action for anything done. I'm sure they would come up with something and many folks would be armed to defend their shit instead of rampaging through the streets.
I would incur an entire year's worth of taxes in one day. Capital gains? Purge day. Paychecks? Nah the company can invest that until purge day. Buying a new car? I'll pay for it on purge day and you can deliver it in a week.
They might as well just do the purge on Cyber Monday.

I don't know, it's probably just me being the least fun at parties, but I was pretty shocked that people thought The Purge concept seemed fun/exciting. it would get unfathomably dark when you think about what kind of monsters are out there. Is someone going to go make sure someone doesn't kill every kitten in the animal shelter? Not to mention crimes against children. Most of those cases are people in the same household. Are you going to go out with a gun to make sure Father Bad-Touch doesn't go crazy in the orphanage once a year?
I haven't watched the movies, so I don't know if they address that or not. I'm guessing not, because who would want to watch that?
I agree but have to downvote the ridiculous tiktok self-censoring. This isn't corporate social media, stop with the newspeak

I agree with your opinion, but I don't see any of that in the comment above. What specifically are you talking about? I'm guessing "father bad-touch", but that seems like a perfect euphemism for a father who does bad things to their child but hasn't been held accountable yet.

Why not say "sexual abuse", "paedophilia", "abuse", "assault"? "Father bad touch" is almost ironic, like "pew pew" for gun and a grape emoji for rape

Yep it's just horrible. Parents would murder children. Disabled people, black people, LGBT etc would be executed. It's awful
Interesting thought though: in a world where it is normal to own weapons, to protect yourself during purge, and where it is normal for people to talk about plans for getting together in heavily armed groups to protect themselves during purge...it suddenly becomes a lot easier to coordinate in order to overthrow oppressive and evil governments.
Why do you have an arsenal of weapons? Purge.
Why are you talking to people about getting together with weapons and supplies? Purge.
Why are you discussing meeting places for your group? Purge.I haven't seen much of those movies myself, but I got the impression it's even considered reasonable to discuss plans about who you're gonna kill during purge.

Simon pegg would be the guy. Filmed shawn of the dead style

They don't address any of that. It's essentially an "every person for themselves" situation, where those that can afford it hole up in highly secured homes, while people living on the streets are hunted for sport.
The do mention crime within households when this one guy sneaks into his girlfriends home and tries to shoot her father though. However, nothing like what you're mentioning.
They kind of go over it in the first one when the neighbors attack each other. They tried to like 'shake on it' after and the targeted wife was all fuck you guys. It wasn't much but did show people held grudges.

Why is murder the crime they commit? How about financial crimes or permittless construction and demolition?
Killing people isn't profitable compared to other crimes.
I could go blast fishing and have frozen crappie for the next year.

i just really hate the purge franchise
I feel weird saying this, but maybe it's not a good message for any largely uneducated society with deep political divides. Some things should be kept in book form. lol

These childish regarded takes is why collectivists fail everyone and never achieve anything that is either positive or worthwhile. Lots of fantastic narratives where "power" is seized, too weak to actually take it.
I thank my lucky stars such is the case, we truly live in the best of possible worlds

Construction company that every year goes and blows up a bunch of buildings so they can get payed to rebuild them

Yeah companies doing shady stuff for profit including harming people would be much more scary. Good thing that's not reality. Oh wait...

Most people arent really familiar with the ways people actually suck. They're alienated from actual danger and too tribalistic to see actual threats around them when they exist. They just exercise theatrical fear as a kind of play. It's a big part of why our politics is so fucking stupid.

Be kinder to yourself, no one deserves that fate

The reason I have never given the Purge films a chance is because the premise is so ridiculous. Am I the only one? Usually I can look past stuff like that, but an entire premise based on a misunderstanding of humanity? It just doesn’t work for me.
