Hello everyone what is up!
Im your host Ayman Hasan and welcome back to another video here at Most Amazing Top
10.
Okay i must admit the idea behind a purge is very interesting.
Although i dont know if it actually does what its intended to do.
Lower crime rates throughout the year just so everything can unleash their inner savage
and demon on the one day.
I feel like crime would still happen regardless.
And the only thing its really done is increase the amount of halloween costumes available
to us.
But the basis is cool.
Messed up but cool.
And i could say the same thing about the movies theories so lets just do it.
This is the top 10 Scary Purge Theories.
Starting us off with number 10 is Propaganda.
This ones a bit inception esque so stay with me.
Now the one overlying theme in the Purge is that the poor people are out there fending
for themselves and the rich people are cozy inside their homes with their security systems
just sitting by the windows eating their popcorn watching the anarchy basically.
So based on that reddit user Johnny_the_Martian theorised the first purge movie is actually
a propaganda piece within the Purge universe being showed to us and its implied that we
know everything about the world because we’re a part of it.
So the theory is that the first movie is targeted at a large unaware audience by anti purger
rebels.
They wanted to make a film that would deliver the helplessness and fear felt by the poor
on purge night to the upper class who ignore it.
Whether theyre ignoring it because they think its actually doing some good or because they
think itll never happen to them.
Either way ive never heard of a theory that theorizes the first film as propaganda but
its very well done.
Me as an unaware audience member was totally sucked in and i also wanted bad things to
happen to all these rich people in the movie.
Coming in at number 9 are the Bad Guys.
Who are the bad guys?
Is it ever really that black and white?
No lets face it.
So in Election Year which is the third movie in the series, politicians used the purge
to try and help them succeed politically.
Which is fine because at least they were doing it while its legal, politicians in our world
are corrupt even when its not legal so.
Apply water to that burn.
Okay but anyway even in Anarchy the second movie the government literally buses trucks
and trucks filled with mercenaries into the streets.
So the theory offered up by redditor jrinredcar is that the quote on quote bad people we see
on the streets may actually be the good guys.
What if those civilians are the people who are fighting off these government mercenaries
and not just aimlessly committing crimes for fun?
I mean yeah the people stealing TVs and stuff are probably just doing it for fun but the
other people could very well not be.
Just some food for thought.
At number 8 we have Kidnapping and Murder.
Okay according to this theory the purge makes kidnapping and murder a lot easier.
Yeah well thats sort of the point.
But it doesnt just make it easier if anything it subliminally encourages it.
If you kidnap someone during the purge, itd be legal.
When the purge ends no one would really be looking for that person because theyd assume
that they probably got killed during the day.
So if anything the purge enables kidnappers to take people and then continue that, torture
them hold them till the next purge i dont know.
Crime doesnt really get lower, it just becomes easier.
Even murder like that is literally the crime that poses the least risk to the person doing
it.
Its just a one time crime, you kill someone its over and done with that same day.
But crimes like theft for example i mean you can steal a tv during the purge and it be
legal but after that youre holding onto stolen property.
Same with drugs, you can go wild during the purge and take every drug ever but thats not
gonna stop you from failing a drug test long after the Purge is over.
Point being the purge encourages the big crimes.
Filling our number 7 slot is Population Control.
Honestly you dont even have to have watched the movies to know a lot of people get killed
in the film.
So according to redditor Willmatron population will become a major burden on our society
especially when you mix that with future medical advancements that extend life expectancy.
So theres just gonna be a lot of us for a long time.
He theorised The Purge wasnt to reduce crime rates during the year it was to eliminate
the weak or just eliminate people in general.
And violence and murder just happened to be the prefered method of population control
because the government saying we're gonna kill a bunch of people is absurd.
But if we willingly to do it ourselves they cant be blamed.
Theyre smart.
Now at number 6 are Legal Repercussions.
And yes that is scary.
If the thought of spending the rest of your life in jail doesnt scare you i dont know
what to say to you.
But also if we take the purge at face value the legal repercussions of it are literally
impossible to work with.
Post purge it would take months to arrest people for their crimes let alone trial time.
During that time theyd have to prove that they did commit the crime during ‘legal’
time and that their crime wasnt premeditated until the day of the purge.
The entire justice system so the police the prison system the courts they would literally
experience years of backlog from each purge and it would just get worse and worse every
year until having a legal system would be virtually useless.
All that was part of an anonymous persons theory.
They go on to say the only way the purge would work is if the government send out hit squads
to legally kill all claimaints and witnesses from previous years during the purge.
But even that has problems and i think the maker of the theory put it quite eloquently.
If they did that then theyd be ‘letting wasps loose to control the spider population
and then releasing bloodthirsty vipers to cut down your sudden wasp infestation’.
The analogy makes sense trust me.

Coming in at number 5 are James and Mary.
If you havent seen it the first movie centers around one family and the parents are called
James and Mary.
Pretty self explanatory.
Their son Charlie bypasses their high tech bougie security system because he sees someone
being chased outside and wants to save them.
He lets the man in and then the whole story is basically the family fending off all the
people wanting to kill this man.
Throughout the movie Mary and James express their hatred for the purge but redditor Vlathrax
thinks the only reason they do that is because they used to participate themselves.
When Charlie asks them why they dont participate James hesitates to answer which is red flag
number 1.
Red flag number 2 is that hes very adept with using weapons and at a 9-5 office job how
would he be that adept unless he used to participate?
I mean he couldve easily done training at some point in his life but thats just not
a fun explanation.
The third red flag is the fact that Mary is so chilled and comfortable talking about guns
and hunting for invaders for someone who opposes the Purge.
Why so relaxed Mary?
At least pretend like youve never done this before.
And the fourth and final red flag is their wealth.
Rich people in the purge are always out hunting poorer people and just doing messed up things.
So i really wouldnt be surprised if James and Mary used to take bids back in the day
for which poor person they should headshot first.
At number 4 is the Walking Dead.
So if youve never watched The Walking Dead and if that is the is the case oh no baby
what is you doing.
You need to get on that its really good.
But anyway The Walking Dead takes place in a post apocalyptic world after a zombie apocalypse
has taken place and is sort of still taking place.
If you get bit by a zombie they call them walkers in the show, then you die not instantly
but you die and then turn into one.
The only way to kill a walker is to stab or shoot them in the head.
So this theory suggests that The Purge is actually the future world of the The Walking
Dead.
By the time the Purge is taking place the whole zombie apocalypse is mostly under control,
there are more humans now than there are walkers at least.
So the Purge basically takes place as the nations safeguard against another zombie hoard,
its purpose is to get rid of the weak people who are more likely to get bit than others.
Thats the reason everyone gets shot in the head basically.
Filling our number 3 slot is The Real Goal of The Purge.
In the movies The Purge seems like a day of senseless killing but the government would
never actually offer that with no goal in mind.
Sure now its to reduce crime rate but this theory from The Week suggests the idea for
the Purge came from public outcry for vengeance and protection against the increasing number
of homeless people in the population.
According to them although the purge evolved into something else, it started off with a
set target and goal and that was basically a declaration of war against the homeless.
And thats quite an easy war to win.
Its hard to lose against people that cant defend themselves.
If you mix that with some high profile crimes committed by homeless people and a propaganda
campaign highlighting poor members of society as the greatest threat to an average american.
People would buy into it.
Its not like it hasnt happened before in tyrannical regimes where theyre able to convince people
that a certain segment of society is responsible for the ills of everyone else and hence should
be removed.
So in this theory the Purge started off as a cleansing act for the homeless.
Now at number 2 is High School Musical.
I know believe me i was as surprised as you are right now.
But this theory from Lauren Le Vine claims thats High School Musical wasnt as PG as it
seemed and that it was also set in the same world as the Purge.
According to Lauren teens that never drink, do drugs, or get physically intimate or even
talk about any of those things are weird.
I mean no theyre not you dont have to do any of those things as a teenage if you dont want
to but okay.
She goes on to say that the teens in the movie just arent focused on those things because
they get to act out their wildest fantasies during The Purge.
In the trilogy of HSM films they literally repeatedly commit actions that wouldve resulted
in legal action had they been done in our world.
The school gets trashed, Ms Darbus impersonates Troy and applies to Juliard for him that is
forgery btw, the health code violations committed when they all work in the kitchen at Lava
Springs Country Club or when Troy and Chad steal 2 younger kids clothing and force them
to run around the school naked.
No one faces any consequences.
The worst thing that happens is Troy having to choose between singing and basketball.
Under all the smiles theres just a lot of social contract violating things happening
in whats clearly a lawless society.
And finally at number 1 is The Antichrist.
You didnt think this video would go there now did you?
Well get ready.
Strike3r2k8 from reddit believes the Purge movies are set in a collapsed world where
the devils come back to rule.
But where is the evidence you may be asking.
Okay think about it, the world the purge is set in was already in chaos before the Purge
was even passed.
In that time a figure rose up that has influence over all the politicians, everyone in power
really but no one knows about it.
Everyones just been indoctrinated into this idea so when the purge actually does pass,
no ones the wiser.
No one questions it.
Participating in the purge itself is accepting the mark of the quote on quote beast.
Whoever participates becomes heartless and twisted and their souls are no longer their
own.
Theyre under the influence of the devil so essentially you cant trust anyone.
Not even yourself.
The only people that are sane and know whats going on is wrong end up becoming victims
of the Purge.
Because these people are against it theyre automatically a threat to the antichrist and
thus must be eliminated.
And thats all for todays video guys.
If you havent seen any of the Purge movies than im sorry for wasting 10 minutes of your
time but if you have seen them then which theory was your favourite?
Or do you have any theories of your own i love reading peoples opinions about movies
leave them in the comments guys and ill reply to as many as possible.
But as always im your host Ayman Hasan and ill see you next time!
Byeee.
