What making a film about a second American civil war while avoiding politics does to a worldbuilding
Love how in every fantasy about the US splitting apart states continue to use their existing borders.
Also shouldn’t this be Civil War 2? Since there was already the first one a while back
Didn’t states use their preexisting borders in the real civil war?
Since there was already the first one a while back
The first one only ended on paper, it has been a “cold” civil war since then. I am pretty certain it will be heating up again some time soon.
I feel like on day 1 of a states secession, it would have its old borders. And those borders would become disputed territory on day 2, as various regional governments decide whether to join the secession or try to stay with the old feds. Maybe there would be shifting borders for a while as the war progressed until geopgraphical features start to solidify the defensive lines and territorial claims.
This makes no sense, pac nor west is full of nazis and cali and texas would never work together
CA and TX don’t even share the same watershed, and hydraulic despotism is the only kind of despotism I can see them agreeing with.
On a very abstract level, I like the idea of a US breakup map that doesn’t just basically come down to a Dem/Rep split or rely heavily on broad stereotypes of people from different states (i.e. treating the South as if only white people exist because that’s how the voting shakes out because voter suppression, gerrymandering, etc). People don’t believe me because “Mormons” and “Sin City”, but in a collapse situation Nevada and Utah would absolutely be together because those states are tied tight economically and with the numbers of transplants in each state from the other. So I like the idea of aligning regions of the US on more material issues.
BUT that isn’t even what this dogshit map is doing, the writers just think they’re being edgy and clever by putting CA and TX together because reasons.
hey it’s a major hollywood blockbuster
is this russian propaganda?- South Carolina: loyalist
- Utah: communist
- Texas allied with California.
Big Florida is the only thing that makes sense here.
Utah would 100 percent become its own nation. It’s kind of a huge part of Mormon folklore/prophecy, that’s literally what Mormons mean by Zionism.
Expectation: Pacific NW Maoist insurgency.
Reality: Pacific NW fascists trying to tiptoe around the word “Volk”.
I liked Ex Machina and Annihilation but damn this man is dumb lmao.

I tried to rewatch Dredd a couple years ago and I turned it off because it was so explicitly fascist. It just felt like a conservative nightmare fantasy where crime is so bad that of course we should let cops kill whoever they want. You’re supposed to 100% buy this logic and root for Judge Dredd and the other white woman cop who spends most of the movie holding a black man captive. Like you said there was no satire, they pulled a reverse-Starship Troopers.
yeah but it’s awesome
The early reviews I read say that the movie is far less about the United States having a civil war and more about what it means to be a journalist during wartime
So it’s likely to make the chuds mad it’s not about the libs and its likely to make the libs mad that it’s not about the chuds
Hmm. I could see that being I guess better than using another country as the setting for misery porn about how sad white professionals are.

That makes even less sense, what is the point of doing journalism with zero insight in local politi- oh nvm
Just the dumbest baby-brain idea of a modern civil war. The South is one block, except Texas, SC, and NC for some reason? Why is is called big Florida? California and Texas working together is so bad that I hope it was intentional just to get people talking about the shitty movie. The Maoist insurgency is the PNW and Minnesota, plus a bunch of solidly conservative states? Good old Maoist Mormons.
Get them off my team
northwest has a Maoist Insurgency
Don’t let your dreams be memes
Edit: Meanwhile, in reality.
The Northwest Territorial Imperative (often shortened to the Northwest Imperative) was a white separatist idea put forward in the 1970s–80s by white nationalist, white supremacist, white separatist and neo-Nazi groups within the United States.
What do Texas and Florida think of each other, given they seem to be in a competition to be the worst
This only makes me appreciate to implicit world building of the first Mad Max movie even more.
