  I'm remaking some old videos that were made when I was a wee lad and didn't know what I was doing. I mean I still don't, but I understand a bit more now.

  Possibly the most unrealistic thing of The Purge is that it presents a scenario where it&apos;s every man for himself. That&apos;s not how humans operate. We&apos;re a strongly social species, so if The Purge was a thing, people wouldn&apos;t huddle in their homes hoping for the best; People would organize weeks if not months in advance. Neighbourhoods would stablish a more or less regulated militia, barricades would be erected and strangers would be expected to stay the fuck out on pain of death. Also, police and soldiers who took their job seriously would simply be out and about as civilians acting almost like The Punisher, which would paradoxically make The Purge the most dangerous day of the year to actually commit any crime; These vigilantes would shoot first and ask questions never.<br><br>Far from being a &quot;do whatever the fuck you want&quot; day, it would be a &quot;you best stay on your very best behaviour or you&apos;ll get shot in the head&quot; day, which kinda defeats the purpose.

  If the purge really happened, I would post a controversial youtube video without fears of getting demonetized

  Another thought, the US would also be very vulnerable to foreign invaders on purge night. If someone infiltrated power plants there would be chaos. All the foreign power would have to do is take the major cities.

  He made some good points, but I&apos;m kinda surprised he didn&apos;t talk about the potential of a terrorist attack. Imagine sleeper cells armed, trained, and directed by a foreign entity activating on purge night and wreaking havoc upon US infrastructure and industry. We&apos;d be completely helpless because they can&apos;t be prosecuted or even investigated.

  I want a Purge series that’s just focused on petty crimes.<br><br>Show me a contingent of people who just go jay walking, taking a penny without leaving one, walking on the grass, taking an illegal U-Turn, and drinking in public.

  I&apos;m surprised nobody ever talks about the Mexican and Canadian borders during a Purge scenario. For one thing, tons of people would probably seek safety from the Purge by leaving the US for the night and coming back once it was over, so there&apos;d be huge traffic jams preceding and following the Purge every year. And during the actual Purge, would leaving/entering the US without going through immigration be legal too? Is it legal to shoot bullets across international borders and kill people on the other side? If you break the law in Mexico/Canada, are you safe if you cross over into the US during the Purge? If you kill a citizen of another country on US soil during the Purge, is that still legal, or could you be arrested for murder by said country once the Purge ended?
