"Just once can we have journalists accurately portrayed as sociopathic narrativemongers with too much of Dad’s money looking to build their rep in their tiny, irrelevant social sphere through a mixture of lies and propaganda?"
I'm going to steal steal steal "sociopathic narrativemongers." Is this your invention? Fantastic imagination, Hank.
The entire premise makes no sense. It's not as if "people angry" equals "ready to go military." Where are these forces in being? A civil war in the modern sense would just be a further breakdown of order, with the usual suspects engaging in wanton acts of violence
Journalists are liberal mini-messiahs and elite self-inserts. In this film I see a crude allegory: "we are divided but The Truth (as dispensed by the priest-class of journalists) will bring us back together.
I liked this film, so suffice it to say I was not moved by your insights into it. However, I would like to note that characterizing Cailee Spaeny's character as "the larval stage striver", is fuckin' hilarious.

Yes, that’s exactly now and more of it next. More The Anarchy than the Civil War.
