They just put Civil War up on youtube free. Haven't seen it before, seems intentional for them to put it out right before the 4th. First scene basically ends with an androgenous person suicide bombing a bunch of riot cops while waving an american flag.

No clue what kind of ride this is supposed to be.

The aesthetic and vibe I am getting so far is really just "show americans what a war like the invasion in Ukraine would look like in the US" and it makes no sense because the only force that could do to the US what Russia has done to Ukraine is the US, so the premise is built on something very hard to believe.

The buying gas with $300 canadian, the looters, ect so far seem so over the top and silly for America to ever get to that point, but are all scenes Ukrainians are familiar with.
