One battle after another

 

Some comments overheard on X about the recent film "One Battle After Another" (which I haven´t seen). Needless to say, this is not the "official" take on the movie, which is rather that it´s a pro-ANTIFA piece. 

Richard B Spencer: 

I’ve been thinking about *One Battle After Another*, which has been taken by many, including none other than Bret Easton Ellis as a romanticization of Antifa. In my opinion, it was closer to being a parody, with flawed, drug-addled losers violently pursuing a cause they don’t understand and barely believe in anymore. Its nods to the superior *Big Lebowski* makes this clear. The title itself, “one battle after another,” implies that Antifa is hopeless. Another way of interpreting the film, on a “meta-level,” is to see it as “predictive programming”: Hollywood is preparing the public for a crackdown on those smelly leftist radicals. 

Pronghorn:

This is exactly how I read it. The scene of "Jungle Pussy" vulgarly announcing the French 75th's robbing of a bank, then promptly being arrested and clowned by the cops is not glorifying the terrorists. It's making fun of them. They are robbing banks, blowing shit up, putting innocent people in danger, all for a cause they are portrayed as being too dumb to even understand. DiCaprio's character is not portrayed aspirationally either. He's a drug-addled paranoid wash-out who has no motivation, fights for no cause, and is literally cucked. The movie parodies the brown horde "revolutionaries," white race-traitor communists like Bob, as well as the white supremacist state represented by Lockjaw.

Steele´s Bootblack:

Not to mention the comically evil white supremacist secret society who worship St Nicholas. I don't know how you could read it any other way than parody.
