I hate to be an egghead, but nobody with even a rudimentary knowledge of the social and politics sciences could take The Purge seriously.

The Purge is based on the Hobbesian fallacy that anarchy would be a hellscape. I like to think that Hobbes has been roundly disproved, but, alas, Hollywood isn't filled with smart people.

Hollywood makes a product that others eat up/pay money for and Hollywood makes a profit. So who aren't the smart people here?

Hollywood producers are worth 9 figures yet THEY'RE the dumb ones

Its like people making fun of the guy who invented the pet rock, but still bought a pet rock. That guy laughed all the way to the bank.

FWIW, The Purge was entertaining to me and I'll Netflix the second if I ever see it on there and I'm bored.
