Some thoughts on the social commentary in 2015's TAG (A Thread)

I first heard about Tag in May 2018. I instantly wanted to see it. I found the first five minutes or so on @Youtube and when the occupants of the 2 buses died, I was hooked. But I couldn't find it anywhere to watch.
Thursday, a friend of mine let me know Tag had come to @netflix and I watched it as soon as I could, which was yesterday. And I absolutely loved it. I loved the #horror of the first two acts. The excessive #gore and #blood. I loved how over the top some scenes were.
When the third act came and things came together, at the time I was blown away. I adored the craziness and how it explained some of the stuff that felt too out of place before. I loved how it went from an all female cast to a mostly male cast and why. Then it happened...

NY Times, for the past two years: "Look at all of these hip alt-right white guys, spreading the edgy message of how we should kill migrants and imprison Jews!"

NY Times, today: "How did we miss the dangerous rise of alt-right???"
I can think of at least two glowing profiles the NY Times published about alt-right Nazi leaders THIS YEAR. After these people's vile message led to the violence at Charlottesville.
Gavin McInnes used to be a Brooklyn hipster! He can't be all that bad if he drinks fair-trade espresso!

Freedom of Movement: we can control who stays after 3 months. We've always been able to but successive governments have chosen not to. FoM means we can quickly fill skills shortages in the NHS, teaching, research, hospitality industry, construction, agriculture.
Freedom of Movement also means we can fall in love with whom we like and not worry about being able to get visas, and know that our children are safe in their family home, be it in the UK or another member state of the EU. #LoveEU #Reasons2StayInEU
Freedom of Movement helps us with aged parents or relatives who live in another EU member state but who we need to care for, knowing it doesn't matter about health bills as the EU deal is reciprocal. #EU looks after our health and wellbeing. #Reasons2StayInEU.

In an ordinary town, on an ordinary street, there is an ordinary house. A little older than any other house, but ordinary, nonetheless. If you passed this house you wouldn’t think twice about it. In fact, you wouldn’t think about it all.

Unless.

(2)
Unless she wanted you to think about it.
If she wanted you to see the house, you would. You would want to go to this house and you would want to walk up to the door.

PM @TurnbullMalcolm: "Bill Shorten is punching the air as though he has won the World Cup. Well, the reality is that the Labor Party has secured an average or conventional by-election swing in #Longman and has not secured any swing at all in #Braddon." #auspol @SBSNews
PM @TurnbullMalcolm: "I have never given any indication at all that we would win these by-elections. There is not a lot to celebrate for the Labor Party. There is certainly nothing to crow about." #auspol @SBSNews
PM @TurnbullMalcolm: "Look, we look very seriously and thoughtfully and humbly at the way in which the voters have responded" #auspol @SBSNews
