There was some discussion of The Wrath of Becky over at Althouse. Ann covers a wide variety of topics and things that I might miss, especially when it is coming out of popular culture.I don't think she is at all puzzled about what is up here. She posted it because what is happening in this movie is obvious, and she wonders why everyone doesn't see it. But just in case, let me tell you what the message is in this movie, coming out at this cultural moment.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
The game is to substitute their reality in for the actual one. They do it well. It works with far too many people.
The “Noble Men” in that are clearly an analog for the Proud Boys, a designated enemy group that is almost certainly (based on court documents) mostly made up of government informants and actual police. It’s a mousetrap; how ironic if Hollywood succeeds in getting government agents killed by their revenge fantasy.
