Its a horror movie where the horrific aspect isn't the gore or the death, but the disturbingly believable shit that comes out of these people's mouths. The idea that the only thing that keeps these people from saying and doing this shit is fear of punishment, and nothing else. And how incredibly self righteous these people can become about murdering people once they can say its their god given american freedom to do so.

Its a warning about the use of false patriotism to hide real hatred and how that festers.

The first movie is pretty shit because it wastes an interesting premise on a generic home invasion movie, but the other two are pretty good.

>>49078140

Wrong, it's literally fan-wank. If a GM said once a year the laws are stopped and you can go out and rape and kill all you want for 24 hours you would immediately call him That GM or That Guy.

It is nothing more than captalizing on the whole prepper movement that was popular when the first one game out. It is garbage, it is retarded concept, it is not horror it is edgy pre-teen violence.

The Third one is clear;y an unsubtle anti-trump piece with the name Keep America Great, it is so transparent and weak, it's boring and is pandering.

the first one was the only one vaguely resembling a horror movie, and was the best use of the premise.
The second 2 were just action movies with jump scares. The also both abandon what makes the premise interesting, and instead turn into overly heavyhanded stories about poor PoCs being hunted by the evil white neoconservative christian fundamentalist government, which would be less retarded if it had came out right after Katrina or something, not 10 years later.

>>49077763
Depends, thus this take place in Hero for Hire (DMs setting where you can literally buy and sell super powers, albeit you can only use one at a time because reasons.)

If yes? Probably not because it would be canceled in a day by the same corps that supply super powers to the public. It's not a good decision to have a holiday focused on this sort of thing in a capeshit setting. You're just asking for massive property damages.

If no? The campaign becomes Batman vs The Purge.

I use the opportunity to pull a bunch of massive illegal business actions, such as assassinating a rival board of directors, shipping hot items in mass, sabotage...

Hey this actually sounds like a neat concept. I was just thinking of the narrow-minded individual slaughter aspect but a purge would have a lot of corporate implications. Which Purge movie should I see?

>all crime is legal

>>49078241

In universe, there were a number of high profile incidents of crimes committed by homeless people. Usually the mentally ill, but we are talking 'girl was kidnapped and raped and killed, and the news cycle got 2 weeks worth of airtime out of it and everyone knows her name' sort of stuff.

Feeding the fires of fear of a rise in violent crime and overall fear of this parasitic homeless threat, a political party called the New Founding Fathers rises to power and tests something known as The Purge. For a 12 hour period, all proper american citizens are encouraged to vent their violent urges and the stress of their lives on the non-people that are the homeless. This is sold to them as not only removing these violent criminal bottom feeders, but also reducing violent crime in the months to follow as people work out their basic human nature instead of keeping it bottled up.

And the sick part of it is, it works. A staggering number of the poor and homeless get killed off in the first Purge, which allows the New Founding Fathers to redirect money from social program to support the homeless into the economy, providing them an easy to point to economic bump. It creates a set of statistical data that shows that the Purge is a definable boon to the American nation, and they institute it as a yearly event after overwhelming support from the voters.

So in the first couple years its mostly about killing off those scary poor people, but as it becomes more culturally ingrained it shifts over to taking out revenge on your fellow man and reveling in the american bloodsport as well. Violent crime drops between each purge, because people are incentivized to simply wait for the next purge and spend the year planning their revenge. Why kill them now and risk prison when you can kill them later and get applause?

Its an unsustainable system, though, as the government sees diminishing returns after the first couple years and the economic benefits of the purge start to dwindle.

There are actually a bunch of laws considering what you can and can't do during the purge. The idea that absolutely nothing is illegal during the purge is false, though the laws are certainly relaxed a lot.

>>49077763
It wouldn't work. At all.
Besides the fact that no emergency services means that any fire, explosion or other incident that happens within that time won't be responded to, the presumption that no nation on Earth wouldn't be willing to abuse even a twelve-hour window to take advantage of the United States is downright laughable. Oh, and the property damage, the sudden jump in labor shortage, the immigration away from the country to somewhere that isn't batshit insane, and the revolution that would immediately form to blow the heads off of the government that put that idiotic law into place, law be damned.
If it wasn't laughed out of the government and anyone actually participated, the fallout would be so damned tremendous it would take a minimum of years for the United States to recover, and nobody would ever trust the government or their fellow citizens again. Say one in ten people dies during the Purge. Now you'd realize that, hey, David didn't show up for work today because he didn't bunker down. I knew that guy! Pretty much any nation in the world would have the right to declare the US violated human rights on a catastrophic scale and threaten war. You'd bet nations that are rival to the US would jump on that bandwagon.
It's fear-mongering in a nation where we already don't trust the next citizen, and it's disgusting. There are so many better ways that even the most fascist governments would solve the issue (getting the police to head out there and simply teake in any homeless guy before killing them in secret?) that besides everything else, the Purge is just laughable.

A major plot point of the second movie is government sanctioned kill teams going into housing developments and killing entire buildings of poor people under the cover of the purge, specifically because the homeless windfall isn't big enough after the first couple years.

A recurring theme of the Purge movies is that the majority of americans are fully onboard with the purge and see it as a good thing. It takes something like 15 years for there be to a legitimate political opponent that can theoretically unseat a Founding Fathers president in an open election.

In the Purge's America, the only people who want to revolt against the purge are the people that are conveniently getting pruned down by the purge every year.

>>49078626
That's the thing. Banks and other big businesses are smart enough to deport or lock down their assets before the Purge starts. The only people that *would* be available for looting are small businesses and homes.

The very fact that the people are homeless makes no sense, homeless are dealt almost entirely by chairites, private charities, the Government spent next to nothing on the homeless when compared with other problem groups.

Something I never got about the Purge is what's stopping everything going into absolute anarchy? I mean, once the time limit's up, what's stopping everyone from just going "fuck that" and carry on purging?

>>49077763
Sort of, if by "participate" you mean "orchestrate the overthrow/fall of the government that allows the Purge."

>>49078664
But that is utterly nonsensical.

The only even remotely valid purpose of the purge would be if every single participant was recorded so they can be executed after. Anybody who only avoids murder, rape and looting because of the consequentness does not deserve to live, let alone live in society.

>>49078679
Never mind that most big towns and cities will be on fire and hundreds of thousands of shops will have been looted.

My monk would be the idiot trying to stop people purging via the medium of fist

>>49078602
> So you create a lawless society then impose laws on what this lawless society can and can't do?

You're missing the point. Its never actually lawless in the first place. That's just a common misconception.

Its one of the things that makes exploiting the purge for business difficult. There are certain transactions you can make during the purge that you can't get nailed for after, but anything that your are doing that is still illegal after the purge ends is just as much a problem for you.
So, for example, if you buy and sell information for insider trading during the purge? That's fine. But if you actually USE that info for insider trading when the market opens up the next day, THATS not covered by the purge. That shits still illegal.

>All these people murdering hobos and not robbing banks

In the second movie, one of the safer places for the protagonists to hide out is the banking district, because all of the vaults are emptied and flown to secure locations prior to the purge and everyone knows it. There are big signs posted up to remind people that the banks don't have anything in them.

>>49078679

It's the law.

>>49078664
I thought the second movie was all about how nobody is actually on board with it and just stays in their home doing nothing, so the government sends out kill squads to fulfill the quotas and make the propaganda work?

>>49078493
Sadly I agree.

>>49078762

Lots of people stay inside where it is safe, but there are still plenty of purgers out there. They just are not killing enough poor people to generate the financial bump that the government wants to put on a line graph and prove how much better America is under them.

>>49078749
>That's just a common misconception.

Gee, I wonder how we could have arrived at that misconception, when every trailer for every movie has had the nice voice-over woman explicitly stating "all crimes, including murder, are now legal."

And people think that matters when your balls deep in your neighbors wifes ass with 2 minutes to go? They think people will wait quietly and happily till next purge for revenge?

>>49078669

That makes no sense.

Base Raiders: Get shitfaced and shoot anyone who looks at him sideways in the kneecaps, then rob a bank.

A bunch of sirens go off to announce when the purge begins and ends. If you pull that trigger after the 'ending' sirens start, you broke the law. Its a grey area enough that you have to have fucked up pretty bad for that to be enforced against you, given how easy it is to say you did it 10 seconds earlier, but once the Purge is over the government comes down pretty hard on anyone who doesn't go back to normal.

Running around with explosives during the purge won't get you caught by police, but its likely to get you gunned down by the national guard.

The army goes into a heightened state of alert prior to the purge to protect government assets from stupid purgers, as well as to be ready to resist any foreign threat that tries to take advantage of purge night.

Define 'government asset', there is far too much of that to even try protecting it all.

What about critical infrastructure that is not directly government owned? The premise is inherently retarded and unjustifiable, stop trying to defend it.

>>49078908

Protip: You are supposed to be disgusted with these people. You are supposed to revile them and their actions, not empathize with them.

There is legitimately a scene in the second movie featuring a woman with a megaphone and a hunting rifle standing on top of an overpass, preaching into the void about how this is HER night that was PROMISED to her by the NFF, and that makes it her god given american freedom to murder any poor sonuvabitch she damn pleases, god bless america the greatest country in the whole fucking world.

>>49078827
Who is enforcing these bans, and how?
>>49078875

>>49079018
>Again, what's stopping people from just ignoring the siren and carrying on with a perpetual purge?

The police and the army. You know, the forces of the law that normally react tot hat shit.

Purgers also have a habit of killing other purgers too, so its not like they are a unified force. You are looking at a handful of disconnected small groups of people who refuse to chill out, and the government has all year to prepare for that exact eventuality.

Anyone who tries to keep the party going won't last long.

>>49079018
>Again, what's stopping people from just ignoring the siren and carrying on with a perpetual purge?

Mostly a militarized police state, and being vastly outnumbered by the US Army/National Guard, who are all much better trained than a mob with guns.

And I think a US government that doesn't have a problem with the Purge would also give zero fucks about rolling over a neighborhood with tanks. And you don't exactly have anti-armor weaponry.

>>49079037
>>49079023
Cause that really deters people in non purge land already right? People whos family just got raped tortured and killed probably would not care. Look at that crime rate rise. Not to mention collateral damage.

>>49079037
Cont'd

I mean, one of the points of the movie is that people don't do things because of repercussions. I'm talking about normal people, not, you know, the mal-adjusted. When the Purge happens, it's both purging people in society, and Purging yourself of pent up rage and frustration.

>>49079079
I don't have to tell you that the citizens outnumber the police and the military (who cannot be everywhere in the U.S at once.) As soon as they step in to end their good time, mob mentality would kick in and the purgers would overthrow the authority.

Considering how this is the future, and they have "The New Founding Fathers" and all that shit, I wouldn't be surprised if they had citizen militia as well ("Minutemen"?) who would probably bolster the police and military.

Also a lack of explosives makes it very difficult to deal with tanks/armoured transport.

>>49079018
Because it is the law. (Hold on, hear me out and don't roll your eyes). People who participate in the purge do so with express permission from the government and the rest of society. Everybody is telling them that it is okay to murder, steal, and rape for this one night and that doing so is not only ethical, but healthy and patriotic. Killing somebody during the purge is different than killing somebody any other time, just like a prison officer executing a death row inmate is different than an officer gunning down a civilian for no reason. The difference seem arbitrary, but to the people who live in this universe its a massive difference to kill somebody at 12:00 and to kill somebody at 12:01. And yes, it would likely be hard to prove that you killed your neighbor five minutes after the purge finished, but most people who participate in the purge would probably consider themselves "good" people (or at least not "bad" people) and thus would feel obligated to arbitrarily follow the rules that have been laid out for no other reason than "thems the rules", much like they do when driving, shopping, and generally behaving in public.

Most of the population doesn't actively participate in the purge in the first place. They just support its effects.

>>49079118

I know that active military personnel are put on duty during the purge during the high alert status, and there are all sorts of 'family gathering' assemblies on military bases for the families of military members. Which gets treated like a lock-in at the rec center, but its really an excuse to get their families somewhere safe for pretty much that exact reason.

Kind of like how you will have important political figures attend an overnight mass that happens to have a ring of security around it that makes it look like Fort Knox.

The Druid who believes in AnCap philosophy would probably conclude that the purge is the natural result of state police refusing to do the job they are paid for, use it as evidence that the police should be privatized due to confirmation bias, and stay retreated in the wilderness far away from the cities.

The fairy warlord would attempt to use it to eliminate political rivals and seize power to FINALLY become the Dark Lord she wants to be, only to fail because she's terrible at "being evil."

And my Hispanic orc from Shadowrun who has no useful skills of his own but who has a crapload of personal contacts(all of which are his extended family) would gather his family together, get weapons, and hole up at abuela's apartment to defend against psychopaths.

Tamir Rice was twelve you moron.

And he didn't get the chance to even say his gun wasn't real. The cops shot him down the moment they got out of their vehicle - despite being told by the caller that the kid seemed to have a toy gun.

>>49079353
Ok, sorry, but not being from 'Murica, I have to ask, which kid was this? There's been, like quite number of kids killed by cops in the last year and a half in the US

>>49079396
Doesn't really matter, these drones would defend cops if they were gunning down preschoolers.

>>49079391
Pointing something that looks like a gun at a cop gets you shot. They dont know its a toy and their job requires them to treat all threats as serious.

>>49079415
uh...okay. Well, I mean, I'd like to know. Because I don't treat every case as the same.

Point a gun at a cop you get shot.

The family shut right up after getting paid too.

>>49079391
That is a lie.

Tamir Rice and friends purposefully made it look like a real gun and had been intimdating people in the area, the police were responding to reports of a figure with a gun being waved about. Your version of events does not make sense, police don't respond to kids with toys.

They respond to people with real guns, which is what everybody thought it was, which is what the kids had intended people to think.

>>49079415
Appeal to emotion, if the youth was acting thuggish and trying to intimidate passers by with a real gun (Which is what the police were responding to) the police are well within their right to protect the populace. You forget the key points in why something happened and go straight to the result and condemn the officer, despite all evidence and leadup showing he was entirely justified and in fear for his life.

>>49079473

No they don't they are told it is a gun, there is no mention of it being airsoft until after the scene. It had been purposefully modified to look like a real gun.

Even if was was true 'probably' not a real gun, you go in to it expecting it to be real.

False, the caller did indeed say they thought it was fake.

Either way, they shot a twelve year old down and didn't even bother to try to save his life. They assumed that a kid had a real gun rather than a fake gun, which is the far less logical conclusion.

>>49079585
He literally didn't. He wasn't hurting anyone and in fact couldn't hurt anyone. It's likely he was playing some sort of game.

>>49079645
It's an airsoft gun. It wouldn't sound like a gun and doesn't have the same muzzle flash as a gun, but it does fire shots.

>>49079681
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
>THIS IS WHAT THE POLICE DISTPATCH WAS TOLD
At approximately 3:22 in the afternoon on November 22, 2014, City of Cleveland
Division of Police (CPD) Communication Center received a 911 call advising that there was a
“guy in the park with a pistol, pointing it at people.” The caller, who later identified himself as
“ OMITTED” described the individual in question as a black male wearing a camo hat and a grey
jacket with black sleeves. also stated that the individual was “probably a juvenile” and
the weapon was “probably fake.”

>THIS IS WHAT THE RESPONDING OFFICERS WHERETOLD
At 3:26 pm, dispatch requested an available unit to respond to a Code 1 at the Cudell
Rec Center (CRC). When Officers Frank Garmback and Timothy Loehmann advised dispatch
they were able to respond, they were informed by dispatch that there was a black male sitting
on a swing in the park by the Youth Center pulling a gun out of his pants and pointing it at
people. The dispatcher further provided the address of the location and a description of the
clothing worn by the individual with the weapon.

>THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED
Officers Garmback and Loehmann proceeded to the park in their vehicle, jumped the
curb, traveled across the grass and came to a stop near a gazebo were an individual matching
the description provided by dispatch was standing. Video surveillance at the park shows Officer
Loehmann exiting the vehicle as the individual suspected to be armed reaches toward his right
side waist and lifts his jacket

>>49079750

So dispatch never informed them that it was believed to be fake? Damn.

>>49079679
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw0EMLM1XRI

Police pull up, shoot immediately. The frame they pretended was him reaching for a gun was him reacting to being shot.

There's no evidence that the gun was even in his hands prior to the first shot being fired - in fact, everyone who has analyzed the video has concluded that he wasn't holding it when shot.

But hey, it's the police, they're allowed to just gun dudes down, right?

>>49079806
No serious police force in the world would place that doubt in the mind of their officers. If the word gun, bomb, or any sort of 'possible' event is believed to be real and present danger.

>>49079837
>dudes
They're allowed, and encouraged, to gun down niggers.

>>49079577
>Even if was was true 'probably' not a real gun, you go in to it expecting it to be real.

Nah.

If the suspect is a child and the caller has told you he probably has a toy gun, that's pretty important, and your assumption should be to put 2+2 together and not react like twitchy kid playing CoD.

Why are you still trying to convince him that he's wrong to think like this? Not only is he the kind of person to support heavy-handed police policies, but he's the kind of person to support heavy-handed police policies *on 4chan*. You might as well just go on The Daily Stormer and argue that Mexicans coming into the country to work is good for the economy.

Well, I like my job and being early and never late gives a good impression with the bosses.

>>49079868
In Europe I would agree with you but American Blacks are fucking feral and are frequently used to carry guns by gangs because they are sentenced as children. It is a real and present danger that youths like that shoot cops far more often than cops shoot gangmembers.

At least look at police training for inner cities, you are appealing to emotion which is all this argument is. In every single case that has happened the cops have been found to be telling the truth because all those who claim they saw it (Friends and relivies of the decesed) are unable to point out what color shirt he is wearing, the majority lie in order to try securing a conviction.

The media lies, look at court documents and the full picture.

>>49077763
>Would your PC participate in a Purge?
he would most likely end the purge, by any means necessary.

>>49079908
Maybe this thread should be purged.

>>49079917
Every single expert to analyze that image says that Tamir was most likely not going for his gun, and his movements are him in the midst of being shot.

We have only the word of the cops that he pulled the toy weapon. The same cops that coincidentally also left him to die on the floor without calling an ambulance, literally just standing around for several minutes as though on a smoke break.

Gee I wonder what happened.

>>49079868
And when it isn't a toy gun and a real gunman you get shot, your partner gets shot, and random civilians get shot.

You know how you don't get shot? When the police tell you to put your hands up you put them up so they can clearly see you're not going to shoot them. They frisky you, see that it's airsoft, and let you go or fine you for disturbing the peace by waving a toy gun around like a fucking idiot.

It's amazing how not acting like a self-righteous jackass in front of someone who isn't sure if he's going to make it back home alive keeps you from getting shot.

>>49079908
I kinda wonder how you can put The Purge into other settings. Would the scum and slush at the upper-middle of a Hive City gladly take the opportunity to be free from the Arbites for a night if it meant leaving them open to their neighbors and coworkers?

This would probably had been a lot easier had they actually shouted for him to put his hands up, rather than just shooting him immediately and then leaving him to die so he couldn't speak out against them later.

Literally impossible, they drive up to him at rapid pace, get out of the car, and immediately shoot him.

My character is a Lawful Good cleric of a god of life and death. There is no way in hell that he'd willingly take part in The Purge, and if he was forced to, he'd probably just go around smitting any motherfuckers who tried to harm innocents during the evening. Then once they were dead, he'd animate their corpses as zombies and have them any other psychos that try to take advantage of Mad Max Night.

>>49077763

He is very conflicted on whether he should stop the purge ir not. Hedl'd still probably summon his demon court and overthrow the goverment, then the social-fu starts.

>>49079643
How are you on /tg/ by choice with such a profound inability to suspend disbelief?

>>49078216
The whole idea seems pretty fubar, which sure is the point of the movie but I just mean endemically flawed in ways that are fine (relatively) for the movie when the writers are in control but PCs could really fuck some serious shit.

Specifically with emergency services cancelled imagine the result of a fire under these circumstances? A single home may spread to others, but what if an entire apartment complex goes up? What if it reaches the natural gas lines (I guess the government could order gas lines shut down)? Even if arson is still verboten during a Purge you'd have that careless idiot with a cigarette or just an electrical fire, act of god or because some nut with an ax was trying to breach a wall to reach his victims. Unleash murder hobos into a situation like this and you could see some serious shit. On that note it might be interesting to run just to see what people come up with.

>>49078216
>Certain weapons, such as explosives, are also banned under Purge rules.

How do they ban the weapons if all other forms of firearms are allowed? Literally impossible to prevent people from obtaining nitrates and fertilizers to use in explosives.

You could always have them participate by having them roam the Purgelands and smacking people, telling them to behave.

The whole thing is silly and it's hilarious they stole the idea from an episode of Star Trek that had a computer too rigidly logical to know any better - though whether the original Landru set it up with this specific behavior when he made the colony technologically regress, well, who knows. But look on the bright side! You can have the PCs Captain Kirk talk the government into a logic loop that causes their heads to explode.

>If these are people that didn't bother seeing the first movie, why do you expect them to watch the second movie to find the rationalization for the premise?

They saw both movies and still talk about movie like if the movie setting didnt had any conspiracy involved on the stuff that happens there.
Also watching the second movie alone is enought to discover conspiracies behind what happen there, this because the movie specifically tells you, you dont need to find.


Maybe you are talking about discovering that there are conspiracies behind what happen on the movie by just watching the first one. In this case, YES its almost impossible.
I say almost impossible, because I knew it would have some conspiracy involved on the stuff, after I watched the first movie and the second one was not even made yet.

Kek.

Would I be wrong in saying that the people get to kill things and do what they want, but when a group that is organized do the same thing and kill people it's suddenly evil and wrong.and ebil?

>>49077763

Yes, of course.

I think the movies have a lot of missed potential, to be honest. Most of them focus on the negative side of the Purge, while never understanding the positives.

Like, you could have a movie about a guy who's taking advantage of the Purge to move the largest god damn quantity of drugs you could ever find. Or a group of friends who decide to clean out the gang down the street - They spend the months preparing, and on Purge Night they don masks and clean out the crack house with firearms and Molotov cocktails.

But no, it's always 'rich people are awful' the movie. Like, can't they do a more nuanced look at things than that? Or how about a show from the perspective of the security services, who can finally get the chance to root out and kill the illegals and black rioters and so on?

>>49084613

The police would have a field day. They would finally, finally be able to just open fire. Like, what would the mob do? Use human-wave tactics? No, they'd get indiscriminately shot in the face and die. The police and armed forces would have free reign to fuck up anyone who looked at them funny.

Who would win, black rioters or the police? Obviously the police. They'd just gun down anyone who wants to keep partying en masse.

I agree with you on people not rioting, but the Purgers have guns too. If you don't think a large number of angry fanatics with guns can slaughter a tenth of their number well trained, well armed people who also have guns, then you have a fundamental misunderstanding on how reality works.

>>49086741
In the hypothetical situation of ten thousand angry citizens armed with rifles vs a single tank crew, the final result is as many civilians dead as the tank brought ammo. The tank may possibly sustain damage to optics and auxiliary equipment such as antennas, and might also suffer fouled treads from PLOWING THROUGH THE CROWD LIKE SIXTY NIGGERS THROUGH YOUR MOM'S ASS.

This is not fucking Civ. No number of pikemen will ever chip-damage a helicopter to death. The technological advantage is insurmountable.

EVEN IF it was a righteous shot - let's say it was - even if it was a righteous shot, you still get an ambulance. The police don't shoot because the perp deserves to die - we have courts to make that assessment. The police shoot to defend their own lives. Once that's done, they get on with things.

Unless they're rabid dogs, of course, who want people to die. In which case, they need to lose their badge and their gun.

The problem with The Purge was that its premise was retarded, and moreover, the internal logic of the movie was retarded.

Try to think what would happen in the United States if all crime became legal once per year. Like, realistically. Put down Salon and the Huffington Post for a second. You know exactly what would happen.

Some mentally ill people would step outside and be mowed down in a crossfire of 5.56. Some edgelords or desperate hood rats might try to do something or loot some stores, and they too would be mowed down in a crossfire of 5.56. The closets you might get is Moonman and Ben Garrison rolling into the ghetto with a bunch of armored cars and just killing everyone, but aside from that, murder rates would probably drop.

Everyone in the country would have a rifle, and everyone in the country would be peering out their windows with night vision goggles waiting for a chance to use it. Having an AR-15 would be like having a fire alarm, and The Purge would be like the night you have to change the batteries.

What would happen, though, would be tens of billions of dollars worth of white collar crime. CEOs would embezzle hundreds of millions of dollars and then shrug the next day because they're not accountable for anything they did during the night. A bunch of properties would burn down for the insurance, and it wouldn't matter a whit who did it because it was legal. Bankers would simply default on loans or break contracts. Millions of gallons of waste would be stored up and then dumped into rivers. Insider trading would skyrocket. Collusion between businesses would happen in broad daylight and be totally legal.

The Purge would't be a purge at all, because nobody sane would set foot outside of their houses without an APC and ir support. It would however be an economic and environmental disaster of epic proportions, every year, on the clock. Hell you'd probably see more murders afterwards as furious businessmen assassinate each other.

>Everyone is secretly with me except for my enemies but they ate just one big inhuman blob you guys!
Left or right its always the same story.
They all think that 300 million people all fall exactly into their political view. Femnazi or stormcuck, they both say they got the worlds biggest army behind them while also screaming how they are opressed by the big bad.

>>49091913
In this instance it's sort of the opposite. BLM-types think the whole country is racist and hates them, and Stormniggers hope that they're right.

>>49079173
But that's a completely fucking retarded premise. Like, I'm not going to go "How did it all come down to this?" when there's no way it could ever fucking come down to this.

>>49081503
I can suspend my disbelief, just only up to a certain point. If you're going to tell me something is happening in the fairly recent future of the world in which I live and expect me to believe it, I'm going to expect it to be something that could theoretically happen in the world in which I live.

>>49091913

Not that guy, but if we were allowed to kill black people, I would. Not out of any particular hatred: If I was a German in WWII, I would report on Jews in hiding to the SS. It's just the thing to do.

Now hold on, this premise sounds silly. A better premise would be trying to stop a secret coup against all the political leaders of the world, who were all conveniently gathered in one place.

What do the instigators oft the Purge have against Switzerland?

My character is a dark jedi. He would think the Purge was hilariously stupid, and set out to kill specifically the people who are protected from being killed during the purge.

>>49092173
Well most people have been thought and grown up enough to understand that killing someone in cold blood makes you an monster.

>>49086934
I was going to post about something else, but I saw this bit of retardation and I need to address it, all the point in order.

>Most people can not fire and hit something reliable at 50 yards.
But it's Purgers, so at least a chunk of them know what the fuck they're doing.

>Weapon familiarization
See above. And all the various uprisings and terrorist groups clearly show that you really don't need that much time to figure out the basics.

>Small unit tactics
Less relevant than you think, unless we're talking less average soldiers/police and more fucking spec ops. It'll let the soldiers fuck up a chunk of the crowd, sure, but unless they start popping explosives, won't thin them out enough to stop the number advantage.

>Morale
Angry crowds are a hell of a thing, you know. For every instance of a mob getting spooked by actual gunfire, there's an example of them just turning into rabid retards.

>Radio, cohesion
I'll give you that one, although some purgers seem relatively well organized.

>Experience
Again, I'll partially give you that, but again - several Purges happened, some people likely prepare for them all year, and there's a plateau on experience where it really won't matter against enough angry dudes.

>It's not as simple as lift gun fire.
No, but enough fire solves a lot of problems.

>A crowd of 100+ would find it impossible to assault 10 trained and experienced soldiers/LEO.
I'll just treat it as what it is, retarded hyperbole, and won't insult your intelligence further by actually countering that point. Because c'mon.

>You could say the mob could use tactics, but you try implementing tactics on a mob, they literally respond to the loudest thing which will be a nigger with a megaphone chanting black power slogans.
Majority of it, yeah. But all that it takes is a chunk of them knowing what's up and acting independently off the mass - and the rest can be half cover fire, half human shields, which will still be a hell of an advantage.

>>49092245

But Sharknado never tried to be anything else than a dumb movie.

>>49092848
It actually tries very hard to be as dumb as possible. Which is why people love it.

>>49079162
>Also a lack of explosives makes it very difficult to deal with tanks/armoured transport.

But what the fuck is ACTUALLY stopping anybody from making explosives? It's literally impossible to prevent every single person from making pipe bombs and shit like that, and there's no way they'd be able to track down every person who did it.

Logically speaking, it would end with both sides utterly fucking ruining each other and the survivors being left with a permanently fucked nation.

>>49092909
Oh and aside from that, what the fuck guarantees that the military and police forces would be on the side of the government if everything broke down? Who says the police and military who are supposed to put a stop to the purge haven't fucking stolen their own equipment during the purge and decided to go apeshit, because again, who the actual fuck is going to be able to prevent it? Nobody.

>>49077763
The Purge is a garbage movie and anyone who likes it has garbage taste.

Literally a murdercyborg brought back to life to purge the heretical and unclean again.

Yes.

>>49077763
My PC would make it his mission to end the purge.

Such monstrous evil is beyond human nature to enact. Some darker purpose and design lies behind this. And how is the nation able to hold itself together in the face of such regular anarchy?

>>49078054
We may disagree on many things, but this time, I think we can work together.

>>49078196
>the disturbingly believable shit that comes out of these people's mouths
Except that even within the world of The Purge, the government has to hire gangs to actually keep it going as it turns out, most humans really don't have any special urge to go around violently killing and burning shit, even if it's legal.

>>49077763

Why not take everything with you and fly out of the country before the Purge?

Or head over to an embassy?

No but women tend to commit more violent crimes statistically.

The whole idea of the purge is moronic. We formed society to protect us from those that would prey on us. What would happen the moment the purge is announced (providing we don't simply get wide-scale revolt immediately), would be armed groups forming for mutual defense. These power blocs would ally with one another on the understanding of, "Don't try to kill us and we won't try to kill you," as most people just want safety. After a certain point and enough innocents getting killed by the government-sponsored hit-squads, these citizens would simply ignore the laws against explosives and not killing government officials and just flat-out storm government buildings on the platform of putting an end to state-endorsed murder and lawlessness; the very things we have a government in place to prevent in the first place. The Purge would swiftly be forgotten, as the whole of the US dissolves into a brutal civil war between a government that's not only failed in its duties, but willfully abandoned them; and a populace determined to restore security to its nation. If the US doesn't completely crumble from this, then multiple states will likely break away and form independent nations.

Further the infrastructure and economic damage done to the country every year would be beyond crippling. Businesses would flee the US as there is no security for their assets. This, coupled with the wide-scale civil unrest, would turn the US into a third-would nation practically overnight.

The movies are shit, but then, the entire premise was given literally zero thought in the first place, so what do you expect?

As a Shadowrunner. I see this is a potential Shiawase holiday to celebrate the Shiawase decision. A day where they reenact the infamous Seretech incident to celebrate how the corps are as powerful as any nation

Time to stop my party's fire mage from setting buildings on fire.

Well at least there is one non-retarded post in this thread.

My PC would spend all Purge night on insider trading conference calls.

I would too.

This is pretty much the only sensible thing for a businessman to do during the Purge.

>>49091846
>Hell you'd probably see more murders afterwards as furious businessmen assassinate each other.
This setting.

I want it now.

>>49095431
It's called Shadowrun, Anon. There are five editions of it, take your pick.

>>49077763
Sort of.

Do you know what's not against the law during the purge? Vigilantism.

So the PCs would form a "neighborhood watch."

>>49078542
>Implying blacks or illegals cost the US more than crooked businesses and cartels.
Keep paying attention to the ants while the asshole robs your home, Uncle Sam.

Reminder that in a city in Peru, you can still settle disputes via fisticuffs on a certain day.

My PC and his party would use their recruits to operate emergency services on their own, and use their influence to strongarm extant emergency groups into joining in. Purgefags would be detaines, killed if necessary, and life would continue as it does on other nights.

Ruining the fun of someone else is the greatest kind of high, and de-Purging the Purge would be absolutely orgasmic.

>>49078876
Why were you playing a Neptunia?

Hey dipshit, legal punishment isn't the only punishment for committing crimes. Go ahead, rape a child just because it's legal to for a day. You're going to spend the rest of your life being spat on and beaten black and blue.

Chosen of Tzeentch: given that his modus operandi when faced with enemies generally includes "fuck all y'all around me, I want that guy dead, full push", probably not, unless targetted. Then it's a case of "Perils of the Warp for everyone!"

Ex-barbarian, ex-marine: Nope. He'd probably be holing up somewhere, shooting people that look at him funny with his gauss rifle.

Most people don't know how to make explosives? And the amount of people who blow themselves up making explosives is hilariously high last time I checked?

>it would end with both sides utterly fucking ruining each other and the survivors being left with a permanently fucked nation.

In one night?

>>49092925
I should think that the people in charge would have a vested interested in making sure that doesn't happen, whether it be holding certain people hostage (like family members or police and military members) until all the equipment is back or what have you.

Still, your point is fair, because how nucking futs are they going to be with their checks?

>>49085663
As I understand it, YMMV when it comes to that.

In anycase, it's social science fiction. Oftentimes in the genre, we're presented with really, really weird social situations, and the stories are meant to explore them, even if they are kind of dopey and weird.

>>49097459
You can do enough damage in one night that it takes almost an entire year to fix.

>>49098745
Not to mention the total loss of trust in how the country works.

I was just thinking my team would just be waiting for the highest bidder that night. Gotta make that nuyen son, Daddy needs new chrome.

i would honestly move to fucking Canada lol

I'm surprised the obvious hasn't been posted yet. organised crime groups. fuck, they wouldn't have to do anything for the rest of the year. just set up the deals and when the purge comes, move out into the open and shift thousands of tonnes of drugs, weapons, slaves and fuck knows what else. and no purger is going to screw with them. after all, who's going to fuck with an organisation that typically has a private army?

>>49077763
Unless the designated area is chock full of chi blackholes in the form of murderhobos he's not going in.

I wish they would have it in Canada. I would go to Quebec and just hack Quebecois to bits.

Also no guns in Canada. So who knows maybe it would work better up here, if it was ever a thing.
