book 2 is about taking down the Montana huwite supremes militia, I'll bet season 2 will be crammed with talking points against 2nd amendment and conservatives/trump voters. lured you in with apolitical season 1, then bam muh racist huwites. it's all so tiresome.

That's not what he said at all.
Book 2 isn't even about a white supremacist militia at all. It's about a secessionist Free Citizen militia.
Y'all getting baited into an outrage party over something you haven't even seen a preview for. Like a good bunch of lemming leftists listening to CNN telling them what to be outraged about.
I haven't read the book, but I'm assuming you have.
You have to know by now that the media doesn't get the nuance about militias. I don't know if you were politically aware in the 1990s, but I was, and trust me, media didn't grok them then, and they don't get them now.
Amazon will write the filmed version as full on white supremacist, because that, in the mind of every writer in Hollywood, is what militias are.
No, but I've read a few summaries online to see what the OP was talking about.
Like I said : when it happens, IF it happens, then I'll go by my usual position : Don't like it, don't watch it.
I'm really not into the whole outrage thing. What I am into however is calling out Outrage culture. It's kinda why we came together into KiA for. KotakuInAction ? Kotaku being little bitches and us calling them out on it and laughing about it ?
You're getting mad over something that hasn't even happened yet.
If they go full white supremacist with the militia, I wont watch it either, and will swear off the series from that point on. I just don't expect them do anything else with them. I remember how the militia in Far Cry 5 initially looked, and everyone expected them to be crazy racists, but they were instead written to be just flat crazy cultists.
Even if they make it a white supremacist militia, if they make it accurate to actual white supremacist militias, I don't have an issue with it. Because I don't associate White supremacist militias to conservatives at all. Quite the opposite, most are little communist shitbags.
For all we know though, it'll just be a generic militia that lives in the mountain and nothing of their motives will be said or mentionned, because frankly it's unimportant. The story revolves around how they kidnap a FBI agent. Making them just a generic anti-Government Militia fits the story narrative better.
it's pretty clear in the book they are 'huwite supremacists', they even have swastika and mentioned no jews. even if they are just colorblind secessionists in the book, do you think the producers wouldn't use it to attack white conservatives in general by making them super racist in the show? after they called anyone right of Stalin nazis for the last 8 years?
So you're saying it's "woke" to oppose anti-semites waving around swastikas ?
Like say Ukraine's neo-nazis ?
I mean, it's pretty fucking American to hate actual nazis.
I don't get outraged about things that haven't even happened yet. Because then I would be a hypocrite if I laughed at leftists being outraged about things the Right haven't even done yet if I did.
Who's "They" and are "They" making Reacher ? Do you have any evidence of any of this beyond just mere speculation ?
