Full Metal Jacket - ... is used as a ideal to strive for

... in MAGA world.

On the 11th of october, Donald J. Trump gave another disgusting speech in Aurora. At the end he played this video (because playing propaganda videos during your speech is just the standard now):

These American civilians that belong to the LGBTQ-category didn't dodge a draft, they entered the militairy on their own free will to serve (and die) for their country. But DJT still feels the need to demonise them and a segment of American civilians cheer while it's happening.

And in opposition to the cherrypicked examples of people doing stuff in their own free time... he places the drill sergeant from Full Metal Jacket. You know, that anti-war-movie Stanley Kubrick made. In which a sadistic and brutal drill sergant abuses those rookies that he doesn't like, to the point that one of them shoots himself in the head. And some of them have been drilled to being so blood thirsty, that they randomly shoot civilians with a machinegun while flying over the rice fields of Vietnam. That's DJTs vision of a great army. ... But I guess DJT still isn't fashistic to those free thinkers that do their own research inside the narrow MAGA media sphere.

Not surprising, his base identifies with movies as reality and their cultural guide. One person here couldn't understand that using "Gangs of New York" was not a presentation of facts for his argument.

@JimboSaturn People don't always get the message... if there are too many explosions and action scenes too distract them.

I remember Ben Shapiro reviewing Blade Runner 2049, because it was praising capitalism. Sadly that got removed and you only still find the reaction to this dumbass remark. I believe his "Dune" review is still up... where Dune is a "pro life"-movie.

I also remember Sargon of Akad, using material from "Starship Troopers" by Paul Verhoeven, to promote his political project called "The Liberals". While Paul Verhoevens' movie is about a fascistic type of society.

The best one is still Dinesh D'Souza reviewing Moby Dick. Who manages to say nothing about the story. But he does believe Mellville was talking about "capitalism" and that Ahab is actually has some good qualities that we should all internalise.

@Kwek00 Right, and Churchill was the real villain of WW2. I see a pattern here. What does he say about Queequeg? A prototype of Elon Musk?

@Bumbles I can only advice you to take a look at the video. It's quite ridiculous.
