    Friend, I’m not gonna slam you because it’s clear your intentions are right, but you are misunderstanding the movie big time. I want you to watch it again and pay extra attention to the subway scene and who those people in the scene were.

      I think you’re misunderstanding the movie friend and none of this was intended as a “slam” so I’m not sure why you would bring that up anyway.

      I have no intention of rewatching either of those dumpster fires. I do love it that the right sees the Bernie goetz vigilante shit and goes “oh shit that’s the point! We gotta take these probably into our own hands!” And you get white nationalist mass shooters that reference the joker. The left goes “Oh shit this movie delves into the moral failings of a deeply sick modern society and also how money is evil… It must be anti capitalist!” It’s just not, it’s a case study on the moral failings of society through the eyes of the mentally ill, the fact you see it as anti capitalist is your mental illness and that’s the point of the movie.
