I like how everybody here is taking a 8 minute clip of vaguely political violence porn and painting whatever pet cause they want to on top of it. It’s clearly about the Tamil Tigers/Israel-Palestine/Capitalism/Iraq & Afghanistan/Western Indifference to Foreign Minorities/AZ Immigration Laws/Future American Dystopian Society/The Holocaust. (Did I get them all?)

Thank you, M.I.A., for reminding your already-mostly-progressive audience that discrimination-based violence is bad, and doing it in such an extreme fashion that anybody who needed that message would be disgusted by the clip (or worse, entertained for all the wrong reasons).
