Is There Going To Be A Purge In 2022

So, you're wondering if we're all going to be running around breaking the law consequence-free, Purge-style, in 2022? Let's dive in!

The short answer? Probably not. I mean, imagine trying to explain that to your insurance company after you "accidentally" dinged your neighbor's car during the Purge.

The Allure of Anarchy (or Just Really Good Movies)

Let's be honest, the Purge movies are a wild ride. They tap into some primal part of us that wonders what would happen if societal rules just... vanished.

Think about it: no speeding tickets, no waiting in line, and maybe finally getting your hands on that limited-edition Funko Pop you've been eyeing. Tempting, right?

Why "Purging" Doesn't Exactly Work in Real Life

Okay, time for a reality check. While the Purge sounds exciting on paper (or rather, on the big screen), it's riddled with, shall we say, logistical and ethical challenges.

First off, who decides what's purge-able? Is stealing your ex's Netflix password fair game? What about eating all the cookies in the cookie jar without asking? The lines get blurry fast!

And let's not forget about the whole morality thing. Most of us, deep down, aren't actually bloodthirsty criminals waiting for an excuse to unleash chaos. We just want a decent cup of coffee and a parking spot that's not a mile away.

Purge Night: A Comedy of Errors?

Picture this: a bunch of well-meaning citizens, awkwardly trying to figure out how to "purge" responsibly. "Excuse me, are you using this parking space to purge? Because I was going to purge my closet, and I need a space to, you know, lay out the clothes."

Instead of a terrifying free-for-all, we might end up with a series of incredibly awkward interactions and maybe some really, really bad karaoke.

Of course, there would also be some genuinely scary stuff, but let's focus on the humorous potential for a moment. The world is already pretty wild, we don't need extra problems.

What We Can Learn From the Purge (Without the Violence)

So, no, a real Purge in 2022 isn't likely. But the movies do spark some interesting questions.

They make us think about what's truly important: community, empathy, and maybe just a little bit of common sense. And the importance of a good security system.

Maybe instead of a night of lawlessness, we could have a "Gratitude Purge," where we get rid of all the negativity in our lives and focus on the good stuff. Throwing out all the things you don't need and appreciating those you love sounds like a more interesting Purge.

Or maybe just binge-watch the movies with some popcorn. That seems like a much safer (and tastier) option.

Ultimately, the Purge reminds us that even without crazy hypothetical scenarios, we have the power to make the world a better, more compassionate place. Without needing to break any laws or even ding our neighbor's car. And if that is the case, then isn't 2022 going to be great?
