I think the second movie answers how the purge solved poverty. I wouldn't say the security system thing is a flaw. It's true. No security system is 100% failsafe. They're more of a deterrent. If someone is determined enough, they WILL get in.

[@neptunie5171]

I've never watched these movies, but my mind when they said the purge solved poverty is that essentially during this time people (whether that be the average layman or militarized forces) basically aimed to taking down all homeless/lower classified peoples which would technically "solve" the problem. And since it happens every year, whenever poverty starts to rise due to circumstances they rinse and repeat. The thought process is that all the disposable/desperate/unhinged people (in the eyes of the government) with a few trained forces that are heavily armed are out during this night so they'll take each other out. The main populace thinks it's working/a good thing since they see the whole headlines of, "Poverty has gone down, there's less violence day to day, etc." but it's a sanctioned killing spree so they (the government) don't have to actually address these issues in a moral and ethical way. -And wow, I thought way too deep about this lol-

[@baebladee111]

Yeah the second one is great

[@agenttheater5]

the purge doesn't solve poverty. it gets rid of the poor because they can't afford to protect or defend themselves but it doesn't solve poverty. They just sweep it all under the rug and don't do anything to actually help anyone. The NFFA are liars and murderers. They've been faking since the first purge to make it look like it works and use the purge as an excuse to kill anyone who uncovers the truth about what they're doing

[@jeffbartholomew1152]

This type of purge would basically kill all forms of entertainment, sports, and service industry. People wouldn’t want to be in any type of public forum for fear of angering someone and thus becoming a victim. It would also cause most of society to be fractured as people isolate themselves to avoid interacting with others and increasing their odds of becoming a purge victim. And let’s talk about the psychological effects of having to act a part all year long just to avoid conflict that might lead to a purge retaliation. It would not be that simple or straightforward like this movie makes it out.

[@ThePartisan13]

Idk about that. I mean sure in the short term, but overtime it would create an entire generation of people totally unafraid. That weakness that is so common nowadays would be totally bred out. Not to say that I'd condone or want the purge to be a thing, but tbh it would have it's benefits.

[@borarosalia]

I mean maybe there would be less people trying to get into the entertainment industry but I also think that celebrities would have enough money to just fly to another country while the purge is happening

[@jeffbartholomew1152]

@@borarosalia but not every person in the public eye is rich. Sure some movie stars can afford to fly away (but not all)? And do they leave family and friends behind to suffer their fate)? What about people who work retail and happen to anger someone? Or even content creators? Maybe Mello has the funds to leave the country but what if he doesn’t? It would send people into a constant state of isolation that it would ruin the economy for years, if not decades, before it could correct itself. And if voters aren’t quickly convinced of its benefits, then they will vote out pro-purge politicians within the first few years.

[@ambermeanswell]

If you isolate yourself from others, I'd say that decreases your chance of becoming a victim because you probably didn't piss anyone off.

The little boy was the best person in the movie. Next to the Black guy. He wasn't to blame for what happened. The fact that there was such a thing as the "purge", was the issue.

One of the most creative ideas ever conceived for film. A suspense drama-thriller with social commentary is so out of the box. The psychology, action and horror truly compliment it. Committing whatever crime possible or just directly taking out your frustration on select people you hate in 12 hours is scary stuff. I knew that 4 of the 5 films took place in the 2020s. But i had forgot which part of the decade (2022 ?!, holy crap). Hooked in since the first film, it had me thinking about how much further could the story go in potential sequels. Also it had me pondering about the state of our nation and it's people in power. Not too many would agree with this purge, me being one of those people.

[@KeeganRusz]

Whats powerfull about these movies is the tension building as if you are preparing to go to a massive party. The family dynamics, conversation setting, it really feels tense and grand. An night of importance and unpredictability.

It's not about robbing banks that solves poverty. It's the fact that poor people cannot afford to Bunker down their house and so they are the ones that get killed off more than the rich and the middle class who can afford to secure their homes and ride it out. The homeless and the very poor are the ones that end up dying the most every Purge.

So, back in the day, my grandparents were considered wealthy and they had a lot of pull. But they also treated everyone with respect. They owned a farm and had a company store to sell stuff to the people living there as sharecroppers and the general public. Other farms treated their share croppers poorly by jacking up the prices and selling them poor quality goods. My grandparents were so trustworth, one night this black dude, who was related to one of their sharecroppers knocked at their door. He had been accused of stealing or something petty and a lynch mob was chasing him so they could hang him. They let him and hid him under their bed. My grandmother stood ready with a shotgun. A few minutes later, the sheriff knocked on the door, saying they were looking for so and so, have they seen him. My grandfather told them they hadn't, so the lynch mob moved on. In the morning, my grandparents had the guy hide in the back floor of their car and covered him with a blanket and took him to some relatives in another county to hide until it blew over. If I was in a secure house like that, I would wait it out, but I would also have my entire family armed with semi-automatic rifles watching from the second floor and shoot anyone who threatened our security until the Purge was over.

I probably I have with this franchise is that they say they say all crime is legal for 12 hours, but only fixate on killing when you can do a lot more. I wouldn't want to snuff someone out unless I had to, but I could see myself looting a store or 2 in a situation like that if I could get away with it.

[@noeticwolf73]

I love watching horror movies with you and Billy it's amazing.

[@SpencerFinley]

I think the only reason that the Purge COULD happen, as a hypothetical, is because there are still a lot of racist people out there including politicians (whether they're showing their true colours or not they're there). The 2nd and 3rd movies dive deeper into the politics and really show you the worst humanity has to offer. But yeah, that's my two sense.

[@CustomMadeEntertainment]

The reason some think is can happen is because of laws like the one that will pass in 2023 in Chicago Illinois. On January 1st, 2023, in Chicago Illinois the “SAFE-T” Act (Safety, Accountability, Fairness, and Equity-Today) will commence. Part of the SAFE-T Act eliminates cash bail, meaning criminals who commit misdemeanors or non-violent crimes under the amount of $1000.00 or non felony charges the police will not act.
