"Alex Garland's 'Civil War': A Dystopian Warning About America's Political Divide"

TL;DR Summary
Alex Garland's film "Civil War" has sparked controversy due to its potential influence from the Boogaloo movement and its portrayal of the political divide in the US. Political analyst Jared Yates Sexton criticizes Garland's narrow view of left and right, suggesting that it may be co-opted by the right wing. The film's visceral action and confused narrative may inspire aversion to war for most viewers, but could potentially serve as inspiration for a small band of extremists.
