My dad was a neonazi and American History X was one of his favourite movies (along with a locally produced movie about neonazis which follows along similar lines to American History X, although it was made decades prior) because he saw it as representation of his views.
He didn't give a fuck about the moralising twist at the end of these movies. He literally just enjoyed the fact that he was being represented in movies.
He was completely unreceptive to "the message" of these movies. It did zero to change his views.
Fucken libs, man... they have absolutely no idea what they're talking about. Just because they received a particular message from a movie that resonated with them doesn't mean that it's going to be the same for everyone.
This is classic LibBrain bullshit. They do the same thing by universalising their attitude towards government or their experience of society and just assuming that everyone feels the same way and has the same experience of things that they do, based on zero real-world experience and investigation.
I have said it before and I will say it again: one funny black guy making a neo nazi not racist anymore is the lib equivalent of evangelical media portraying convincing others to convert to Christianity as easy.
They're not going to do a detailed material analysis on the conditions of the Empire, because nobody would care about that, and that would bore everyone except super nerds.
Pretty sure it started out of simple contrarianism, using troll logic to find reasons why the empire are the heroes despite all evidence to the contrary - stuff like pointing out the empire reduced unemployment on alderaan to 0%.
lol don't fashies love American History X because "omg look at the cool badass Nazi putting that [n-word] in his place"
I immediately thought of a virulent racist that loves that movie.
100% this.

Yes, and the director realized this at some point, tried to use the Allen Smithee name to get his name off of it, but it was too late.
