No, it would be a retarded idea.

If I wanted to, or anyone near you who wanted to, I could break down your door with a few of my friends, rape you, then torture you, then rape and murder your children, perhaps fucking crucify them, find a few sticks of wood in your house and nail your kid's limbs to this and then, why the hell not, rip up your kid's genitals with a knife, and then have fucking

FIFTY MINUTES

to snap a few photos, instagram, twitter, whatever, flood the interned with all this murder and snuff BEFORE the local police even get a semblance of what happened from your neighbors who called 911. Me and my friends can fuck around for another fucking hour before we have to dash off and pretend we had nothing to do with it.

I don't need a 'purge' to do this shit or get away with it. Anarchy is the true reality behind all pretenses of state authority. If you don't already know this, I feel sorry for you when some random fuck decides to rape, murder, and destroy your family when a sensible neighbor might have a shotgun by the bed to prevent all of that.

Police don't protect you. They mop up and give a semblance of 'order' after the fact.

No

It won't magically erase crime the other 364 days of the year, at all
Greedy fucks are still going to steal whenever they want to, they won't just decide to wait until that one day when it's alright
Angry fucks won't stop murdering people. Especially crimes done in the heat of the moment
Alcoholic fucks won't stop drinking and driving
Pirate fucks won't stop torrenting shit off the internet

Nobody who is willing to break the law is going to wait until that one day when it's okay, which defeats the entire purpose of Purge days entirely

I don't know where you got the fifty minutes statistic but you are correct in your general point. It's absolutely absurd that people think that the state is necessary to protect you and that instead of the small danger of individuals stealing from you or killing you it's better if the most powerful organization in history does it instead.

Society wouldn't be able to absorb the night's worth of damage. The whole point was to serve as a safety release, an overflow mechanism for human aggressiveness in order for society to function, but a society that spends 364 days a year cleaning up 1 night's worth of mess isn't a functional society.

This has already been solved. Gladiatorial arenas.

So does everyone just go on the honor system when it comes to waiting each year and somehow continually use the allowed weapons? What the hell is a class 4 weapon when guys are walking around with AKs and flamethrowers? Why does everyone just obey the "politicians are off limits" shit? Does the military enforce the purge and act like mean motherfuckers to ensure riots stop? Is healthcare/insurance a fucking nightmare? Why do they ignore basic impulsive behavior.

>A government-sanctioned Day of the Rope once per year.

It sounds good on paper, and I imagine the lynchings would certainly put a massive dent in the melanin-enriched criminal population, but I imagine most of the Jews with any degree of power would take great pains to ensure they were untouchable for that period of time each year. In other words, it would be less of a proper purge and more of a bloodsport to distract the public from the people holding their leashes, which is what I imagine the movies are probably about?
>>
White collar crime alone would destroy entire states
>>
The only possible way that a Purge could work is if arson was disallowed. With 12 hours of no fire service the whole country could burn down.
>>
Would it work? I don't think so. It would be interesting to see, though.
>>
sure. one day where all those evil cops aren't there to save all the whiny bitch liberals who are crying for them to stop doing their jobs just because a handful of them each year shoot a few niggers, most of them doing so only out of legitimate fear for their lives because the niggers tried to attack them or pull out a gun.

after this single purge, we won't ever have to hear this generation of millennial fuckwads crying about how unfair justice is.
>>
>>72040114
Pretty much. At the end of the second movie when some of the higher-ups get killed, suddenly everyone(aside from the "rebels" or whatever) is questioning the purge and saying it should stop.

The whole thing with the third movie is some soon-to-be politician or something who would be getting rid of the purge, is fucked over by people who want the purge to keep happening, so she's hunted the whole movie.

No. You can't control the revenge killings and revenge distruction of property after the purge day. If you kill my family, I won't be ok with that untill the next purge. Also, wouldnt a purge day be the best day ever for terrorists attacks or invasions by china or russia?
>>
>>72038133
Fuck no.
Ignoring all the morality, safety and practility issues, the true objective of the Purge by the powers that be (kill all poor people) is just stupid.
Killing poor people would actually hurt the economy. Poor people are consumers, that means they pay for stuff. Poor people are also minimum wge workers, by killing poor people you lose that cheap workforce.
Killing poor people would actually just harm the economy, creating more poor people, who are then killed in the next Purge, creating a pointless cycle that chieves nothing and doesn't benefit those in power at all.

The Purge is a literal broken window fallacy.

Read more: What is the broken window fallacy? | Investopedia http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/08/broken-window-fallacy.asp#ixzz4EYcxg6K7

>By breaking the window, the man's son has reduced his father's disposable income, meaning his father will not be able purchase new shoes or some other luxury good. Thus, the broken window might help the glazier, but at the same time, it robs other industries and reduces the amount being spent on other goods. Moreover, replacing something that has already been purchased is a maintenance cost, rather than a purchase of truly new goods, and maintenance doesn't stimulate production. In short, Bastiat suggests that destruction - and its costs - don't pay in an economic sense.

Also, I don't understand why the government was covering up killing poor people if everyone was initially okay with The Purge in the first place.

What would you chose from these 2 options?

a) The government kills poor people one day every year.

b) The government kills poor people one day every year plus other people can come to kill you if they want to.

I kind of agree except there is a human trash tier that just kinda live at home with their parents and mooch, be homeless and drift around, beg for cash, probably could be better off with that gone.
>>
>>72042174
Even if you believed that, surely there are better ways of doing it than a Purge, which would cause far less damage to the economy than making all crime legal for a night. Couldn't you just get rid of social security and food stamps? The cons vastly outnumber what you would consider the benefits is all I'm saying.
Moochers and the homeless don't actually cause much harm to the economy and society at all, by definition they're kind of irrelevant.

How can you contain the purge to just 12 hours?

How do you ensure the purge does what it sets out to do and you don't have a whole year of "revenge" crime?

Drugs, smuggling etc twelve hours of lawless business could set them up for the whole year, would that fuck the purpose of the purge?

Only a very small minority would potentially take part in the purge, and even then they would be socially ostracized and over come by the share numbers of people who do not want to purge.

Purgers would be captured via phone cameras, social media and socially demolished and critiqued with such intense scrutiny through out the following year that no one (even if they wanted to) would participate.

If a purge were to truly work in the sense the movie tries to portray (ie only violent crime) wouldn't it make more sense to create a "Purge space" for the purge volunteers to participate instead of shitting up the whole of society?

A purge would never work because "catharsis" is very short lived and never solves the real problem, you would have so much sickness from "purge guilt" and ptsd purge survivors that it would be a drain on the whole system.

also, the film posits that its a goverment institution...only in america right. go to syria or something where its Purge 24/7, in fact you don't need permission to purge. people who would "benefit from a purge would be doing the things anyway, i don't think making it legal for 12 hours would make that big a difference.

>place hidden cameras all over the place
>once a year, have "Purge"-day where all crime was legal as long as it was performed inside that city
>have entrances closely guarded, only on this day
>anyone over the age of 18 may enter, but no one may leave until the purge is over
