Who have the major players been up to this point?
Lets get our not-too-distant-seeming dystopia on.
The Purge(2013)As the intro to the firstPurgetells us, the year is 2022.
Unemployment is below one percent.
The wealthy barricade themselves in or purchase extravagant weapons to kill people with.
Government officials designated as level 10 are fully protected from harm, and everyone else is up for grabs.
The story focuses on the Sandin family, who are among the rich, white, protected one percent.
Polite Leader adds, That piece of filth you are protecting exists only to fulfill our need to purge.
The Purge: Anarchy(2014)In 2014sAnarchy, the plot thickens.
The year is 2023.
Its the sixth annual Purge.
There are fewer people below the poverty line every year (how convenient!)
and unemployment is below 5 percent.
So with the mythology under our belt, what new information doesAnarchygive us about life under the NFFA regime?
The redistribution of wealth upward through killing has to stop.
(I guess he got tired of civility!)
One of those hunters tells our hero near the end, Tonight we take lives.
We make things manageable for us.
Unfortunately the citizens arent killing enough, so we supplement it all to keep things balanced.
Its important work the NFFA does.
The black government trucks are out again, carrying kill squads through town.
Resistance leader Carmelo Johns has been replaced by Dwayne Bishop (the bloody stranger from the firstPurge!
(Presumably this group includes a lot of incels.)
If theres aPurge 5, maybe it can feature Roans fight for the Supreme Court.
Thats where it becomes, sadly, I think, very topical right now with the current administration.
