People are cheering a controversial new movie, and this definitely says something about the current state of society. No, it’s not that ridiculous new Supergirl flick, with a simian ingenue who looks like Emil Minty from "The Road Warrior." It’s something called "Citizen Vigilante," a movie by schlockmeister Uwe Boll, and it’s not a pleasant film. But it’s an important one, because it reflects the reality that people in the West are getting tired of living under anarcho-tyranny. The hero is an American who lives in Europe, and he grows fed up seeing Europeans raped and murdered by immigrants, with justice denied by liberal judges, and decides to go on a killing spree. Think of it as an updated "Death Wish" with a hero who’s not quite as cool as Charles Bronson. People are responding to it because it speaks to the anger out there. The ruling elite best listen.
It's a righteous anger. For far too long, our garbage liberal ruling class throughout the West has granted Third World invaders priority over the actual citizens of our countries. We see it here in America all the time, where illegal aliens get to commit crimes that would get you and me locked up. Instead of being jailed or even deported, they get a slap on the wrist and even more welfare. People are sick of it and have made that known. It’s a big part of why Donald Trump got elected in 2016, because the UniParty establishment didn’t listen at all to our concerns about immigration. We were ignored. We were told we weren’t even allowed to talk about it. And no one would talk about it until Donald Trump came along. Then Donald Trump won the election. You might think that the people in power would take notice.
But they didn’t. They’ve doubled down. And in fact, when Joe Biden came into office, they threw the borders open to the entire world. They literally let anybody who wanted to come in come in. Millions of foreign invaders, both walking across the open border and coming in through semi-quasi-legal loopholes—including government apps!—marched into our country. A lot of them committed crimes. A lot of them killed people. They did other things, too, like fill up our emergency rooms, steal our Social Security numbers, suck up our social spending, and crash their creaky crapboxes into our cars, then shrug because they don’t have auto insurance.
We’re sick of it. And people in power better listen because this new movie is expressing frustrations that can’t be suppressed forever.
That’s what this vigilante flick is all about. It’s about what happens when the elite not only ignores the people but also suppresses them and allows them to be victimized. That’s what’s happening now. Sure, in the United States, it’s a little less far along than in Europe. The heroes of ICE are deporting huge numbers of illegal aliens, which is great, but there are still millions of them here, and no end of Democrat politicians, leftist judges, and pinko NGOs all working to keep them. So many tears for 10-year temporary Haitians but none for actual Americans. Why is the elite so intent on that? Well, there are a couple of reasons. First, the establishment hates us. It looks down on native Westerners. Remember, the ruling class justifies itself by unflattering comparisons with the ruled. They know we’re suffering, whether from taxes, hassles, or violence, but that’s OK because they believe we deserve to suffer. We’re bad people, after all. Second, massive numbers of Third World immigrants provide willing, cheap serfs who will tolerate conditions that the natives would never suffer. And third, when you import enough aliens, you change the electorate. Look at what just happened in New York City. They elected a bunch of green/red communists. That was because of foreigners, not just because of the lily-white trust fund kids. The Democrats made a conscious choice to replace the American electorate with pliable Third World minions. They were very proud of that and told us so, and when we repeated it, they realized that normal Americans wouldn’t like it and then demanded that we not refer to the Great Replacement Theory that they themselves had advocated.

Silencing the natives is an important component of all of this and a key reason why "Citizen Vigilante" is hitting a nerve. See, they have to shut us up, and they try to do that both formally and informally. In many other Western countries, you can be—and are—arrested for not being nice enough to immigrants. If you express your desire that they go home, well, that’s a crime because, you know, Our Democracy™ and stuff.
We haven’t got around to arresting people for complaining about immigration in the United States yet, but that certainly is on the Democrat agenda. Right now, they have to do it informally by calling you racist or Islamophobic or whatever. But that’s not quite working anymore. No one really cares if you call them racist anymore, and if you call them Islamophobic, they’ll probably take it as a compliment. The views of normal Americans, who don’t want to be overrun by a tide of uninvited outsiders, never get heard in the mainstream media. They’re still being suppressed, and that’s where "Citizen Vigilante" comes in.
It’s not accurate to call "Citizen Vigilante" a “conservative” movie—it’s a reactionary movie that surfs the conservative zeitgeist (If you want conservative pop culture, pre-order the next action-packed conservative novel, “American Warlord!”). "Citizen Vigilante" is an heir to the long and sometimes awesome, sometimes sordid history of B-movies. These low-budget films don’t come from the Hollywood studios. They come from the independents, the outsiders, the guys who don’t have access to the same distribution and promotion as the big guys do, so they have to sell their product by being inflammatory. Back in the ’50s, the B-movies were the ones with the monsters, the riot girls, the switchblade gangs, and the hot rods. In the ’60s, it was sex and drugs. In the ’70s and ’80s, you went to see a B-movie because it was going to be more violent, gross, and just plain more outrageous than something from Universal or 20th Century Fox.
That’s where showmen like Uwe Boll come in. He’s got his finger on the pulse of the people in a way the ruling class doesn’t. He knows there’s an appetite out there for a movie that shows a fantasy version of what might become reality if the UniParty across the West keeps the pressure on. This anarcho-tyranny, where criminals are allowed to run free but regular citizens are mercilessly prosecuted, cannot continue forever.
And the authorities are scared. Germany has banned the movie. You can see why. The anti-hero kills a whole bunch of immigrants, though in his defense, they’re a bunch of rapists and murderers. But he also kills a judge and a bunch of cops attempting to enforce the establishment’s will. That’s what really scares the elite. The ruling class doesn’t care if a few Pakistani perverts get iced; they find that useful for ratcheting down the repression on the normals. What scares them—what’s scary about this movie—is that the citizen vigilante takes the next step and starts going after them and their enforcers. That’s the unforgivable part.
Now, it’s a terrible movie. It’s almost unwatchable. It’s not fun in any sense of the word beyond cheering loathsome rapist, murderers, and enablers getting their comeuppance. I’ll be honest—I skimmed it. It’s not a pleasant experience. It’s not a well-made film like at least the first "Death Wish," which is not as radical because the vigilante there killed a bunch of 1970s punks in New York but didn’t go after anyone in authority. That’s Boll’s real transgression—the anger is directed not only at those committing the crimes but at those in authority who officially tolerate the crimes.
Ignore it at your peril, ruling class. B-movies have always been ahead of the culture at large. They saw things coming that the mainstream either couldn’t see or refused to acknowledge. And what’s coming, if the West’s ruling class continues to allow the brutal abuse of their own people for the benefit of their favored alien pets, is violence. And that violence won’t just be directed at the invaders. The elite will find themselves in the crosshairs.
Maybe European overlords can keep a lid on things for a while since they have disarmed and emasculated their population, but America is a different story. While the Europeans don’t have guns, 100 million Americans do. And that’s a lot of citizen vigilantes.
