I don’t know where they’re going to go with that film. I’m sure it’s purpose is to smear people like me. But I got a chuckle when I watched the trailer. One of the belligerents is “The Western Alliance of Texas and California.” Would never happen.
Reminds me a lot about that movie where people were locked in their homes because of a pandemic, which got a lot of press from the trailer then was never heard of again.
Or V for Vendetta where they pretended it would be the far right that manufactures a disease and magically has the cure that they use to gain power and control.
I mean, that was a very distinct possibility since they're playing both sides of the public discourse while people keep imagining it as right vs left. They don't care which of the two artificial political pillars they've built is responsible, only that they succeed in provoking the resistance to create a new empire for them to usurp, since they're too intellectually and morally bankrupt to actually create anything themselves, and can only take what other people make.
Yes, I think that it will be a lot more complicated and messy than they say it will. If anything, I imagine that one aspect they might overlook is the possibility that people would/will take advantage of the chaos to carry out criminal activity at a time when enforcement of the law would be at it's weakest, regardless of which side they ostensibly (or sincerely) collaborate with.
