    Sad that so many are talking about The Purge, which this ain’t by any stretch, because they don’t have the education to know about Kristallnacht. We have forgotten history and are doomed for a repeat.

      We just have to convert the horrors of humanity to simplistic pop-culture references.

      Even if they aren’t 1:1, they may stand a better chance of retaliation by the populace.

      • Kristallnacht: “…what?”
      • The Purge: “Oh, we ain’t havin’ none of that shit.”

      Depressing, concerning, and even infuriating… but pragmatic.

      Edit: grammar

      I was going to assume he probably knows more about movies than world history, but I think according to Ivana he has read about some parts of World War II.
