the people who really need to watch this film might not have the capacity to grok that the targeted others: "negroes, catholics, and freemasons" can easily be swapped out for mexicans, gays, atheists, or literally anything else, and the result is the same
- If you actually listen til the end and pay attention, the main speaker explains how he defines "minority" and it is literally every trait which can be used to get the population attacking identities, rather than dealing with people as individuals. Unfortunately it's become all too popular these days, regardless of political leanings, to think there are certain identities it's okay to treat as less than others. (Don't worry, it might sound bad, but we're just making up for past injustice!)
  
  all true points. but if the film didn't hold my attention to the end, then it's definitely not going to hold any maga's attention past the pro wrestling intro

  Cool story dude, but you're literally doing that exact thing.
  Were you aware that, if you knew my entire Internet history, you'd consider me to be "maga"? Yet I watched the entire thing and cared enough about the message to try any help others like yourself understand it.
  Yet here you are attacking identities.
  And you were WRONG about it also. You were actually the one who had too short of an attention span to finish it.
  
  lol ok
  if you are maga (i'm not checking your history), then you are 100% less than. watching the whole video (or any video) won't save you from condemnation. in fact, it makes you even worse, having taken the time, and still supporting this shit
  yes, i know enough about maga to know that i will attack this "identity" until the day i fucking die. the exact same way i will attack any other racists, bigots, nazis, misogynists--doesn't have to be maga. but back to maga, there is not a single redeeming quality of this con man cult, or any of its braindead followers
  but by all means, keep trying to spin everything as if you're the poor poor victim in this conversation
  
  Well, thanks for providing such a relevant example for others reading this thread, at least, I guess?
