The film, with the working title Pawn Shop, centers on an Antifa siege of a Minneapolis pawn shop amid anti-ICE unrest. On one side: an ICE agent joined by a group of pawn-shop employees and customers. On the other: a rabble of progressive protesters, and eventually a bloodthirsty MS-13 death squad, both intent on rescuing a Hispanic man detained by ICE. It plays out exactly how you’d expect it would.
The film’s first minutes will likely get the most attention. As Pawn Shop opens, two ICE agents in Minneapolis arrest the Latino man, later revealed to be an MS-13 boss. Dimwitted liberal activists film and scuffle with the agents as they try to take their suspect away.
Then the film’s Renée Good stand-in enters, slamming her Subaru into the ICE van. Described with the subtlety of a brick as “MELANIE (40), a fat blue-hair,” the woman, blasting NPR, revs up again and fatally hits ICE agent “Juan” with her car. Then his ICE partner, “Mike,” shoots her in a justifiable killing.
If people would ignore this dumb shit like it deserves. It wouldn’t be a big deal. They do this shit on purpose.
Yeah they’ve fucked a small town. They took over the block with their only food bank. Their armed guards are scaring people away from getting food. They don’t have permits and they’re too chicken shit to actually do it in Minnesota. Amplify away. Bullshit is happening and it’s affecting people.
The locals have every right to butcher these fuckwits in my opinion. Fuckem.
Calling attention to it doesn’t stop it from happening.
Yes, it does
Care to provide an example?
Yes, let’s not report on evil people making propaganda. That way they can do their shit uninterrupted and with zero scrutiny.
Ignorance is usually the cause of this shit, not the solution.
They’re doing it anyways. Maybe talking about it isn’t the way to stop it. Ever think of that?
“They’re doing it anyways” is kind of the whole point. Why let them do it without even saying something?
Not with that attitude it won’t.
It won’t with any attitude. Look around, we still have racism, sexism, bigotry… all of these things are called out daily.
As long as common sense remains optional, there will always be people that will disregard it in favor of an agenda. And no amount of attention to it will change this.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
LMAO! The irony.
I get it. Doing nothing feels safe. That’s neat for you.
Nah, I just don’t think sitting around and calling attention to somethjg so you can sit around and do jack shit about is really the way towards change.
But you go ahead and stay outraged. It’s worked wonderfully so far!
Do you think that we wouldn’t have more of those shitty things from shitty people if nobody pushed back? Just because it’s still there doesn’t mean it’s not working, I’d say.
Riiiiight. Congrats on the superb work bud!
Ok, buy their propaganda. Sit around and gripe righteously about how nobody can do anything while actively discouraging anyone from doing anything. Enjoy your black pill, champ. You’re definitely helping.
Or you know…. Stop talking about it expecting it to stop while doing nothing about it, like you people always do and actually DO something about.
It’s the same idiot ideology that states that NOT voting brings change.
Project much?
LMAO! I don’t think that means what you think it means.
That’s why they leaked the script, too.
Yep it’s always intentional. And all these “liberal/far-left” sites that people think are outing the bullshit are just advertising for them. They always are.
They don’t hide their deceitful rewriting of events. They won’t be embarrassed to have the facts pushed in their faces. The damage is done. The idiots believe it happens the way they are showing it. So why give it more gas?
Every time I see articles like this. I instantly assume that it’s mad to help the far right spread their hatred.
Use it against them.
Why do you think I’m happy to slap fight tankies in the comments of a pro-voting post? Engagement keeps it on the front page.
I don’t bother arguing with those clowns. They never address the issue because they shit all over the discussion and then play victim when you call them out.
It’s a waste of time.
Much like the point isn’t shitting on the movie we’re discussing, the point isn’t to convince the tankie either.
It’s a performance for the third party that’s passively scrolling by.
It also just so happens that tankies will almost always engage, and that puts the content in front of more people. That’s why I would never argue with a tankie on c/latestagecapitalism and similar accelerationist/AstroTurf communities, but will happily do so on c/political memes
Which is why my point is to ignore them. Their performative shit serves no purpose other than to advertise their point. Calling it out only helps spread their dumb shit to other idiots.
