Progressive
Primary
The film's central thesis is a stark and explicit critique of systemic class warfare, depicting a government-sanctioned event designed to eliminate the poor for the benefit of the wealthy, thereby promoting a clearly progressive ideology.
The movie features visible diversity through a key supporting character, a Black man, who becomes central to the plot. Its narrative strongly critiques the wealthy and powerful, often portrayed by white male characters, as the perpetrators of a system that preys on the less fortunate, highlighting significant socio-economic and racial disparities.
Secondary
The film portrays Christian-adjacent rhetoric and imagery being co-opted and twisted by the New Founding Fathers and Purgers to justify extreme violence and social cleansing. This depiction highlights the hypocrisy and cruelty of those who invoke religious language for oppressive ends, with no counterbalancing positive portrayal.
