Why do normies find him so unsettling? He only killed child-sex trafficking pimps.

If you literally find a cure for cancer, terraform mars and invent mass free energy but are an incel or seem like what they feel an incel should be then normies would hate you and say theyre better than you. It doesnt matter, you can even have a wife and kids

Ensouled humans are instinctively disgusted by soulless incel drones, yes.

because normies are enforcers of the status quo, no matter how bad or good it is. travis is downtrodden and mistreated by his environment and doesn't actually deserve it, but he re-directs the energy into destruction which shakes things up, all of history is actually propelled this way but its a taboo for normgroids.
the whole "dont become "self-destructive"" is really a strange mix of feminism + elite conservative ruling class rhetoric. truth is self-destruction and lashing out is sometimes the only power you can exercise and justified, there are many peasant revolts revolutions and wars like this in history.

>>217452002
because quentin says that travis bickle is a racist even though it's literally made up bullshit by that zionist retard

tarantino has probably diagnosed assburgers, combine that with his bbc fetish and then you get this dumb take. i dont think normies are aware of any of that though, its just that travis lashes out in anger against society itself.
tarantino just saw the scene where travis looks at the nigger pimps chimping out in the streets and him staring at the black taxi driver making remarks and immediately thought the movie must have been KKK-adjacent for not making niggers look like super cool heroes committing justified racial vengeance.

expand upon this idea im curious

If deniro wasn't hot no one would care about this character or movie
>>
>>217453639
i already did, its the implication that society is never in the wrong and that going against the grain is inherently evil and unjustifiable. progressives/feminists would argue that everything is toxic masculinity if you lash out and you should just take it because you deserve it or a vague notion of "do better", "if you had beliefs i want you to have then you wouldnt feel that way", cuckservatives will hate you for doing it because it threatens their boomer elite status when you disrupt the foundation at the bottom of the goy totempole

>>217453769
just look at jordan peterson for example, in the end after all his "im so concerned for young men" he sees the way it naturally goes, and he ends up saying the same thing as a liberal progressive from the EU does "dont lash out, change yourself, not society". i am obviously not condoning killing people like travis bickle, but when you are screwed out of being part of society you have no choice but to tear it down or build a parralel one that eventually replaces it.

Travis bickle being a Vietnam war veteran and hating pedophiles would probably try to kill trump for starting wars to distract from the kid diddling. He's insane. You can't do that.
>>
TO BE COMPLETELY FAIR TO SCORSESE/SCHRADER!

The point of the film was that Travis tried to kill Palantine but failed so he went after the pimps instead. He was lauded for it whereas he would have been demonised if he had killed Palantine. He was not a good person and a hero, he had just failed to kill his original target, and it is hypocrital to treat him as a hero and blah blah blah
>>
>>217454067
I could actually see it. Like he becomes obsessed with the epstein files.
>>
>>217452480
Only dumb people don't know Scorsese movies.
>>
>>217452002
"Punks" (in hairstyle) were "by any means necessary" types. He's not wearing a sign that says he only kills pedos. + It's low-key a vilification of vietnam vets as ticking time bombs, instead of Voight's Coming Home.

An antisocial nihilist does not a productive society make. He may have saved that one girl but the underlying conditions that lead to her abuse remain. You can not affect significant change through random acts of violence.
>>
>>217454547
That's where you're wrong kiddo
>>
>>217454578
So sexual exploration will end when one guy kills a few pimps?
>>
>>217452323
Kek
>>
>>217454415
the ending is happening in his head as he dies, it doesnt mean anything, killing palantine may have made him a hero in political opponent's eyes too.
its just a movie about a guy with no meaning and direction trying to sacrifice himself for anything, as a veteran being a soldier is the only thing he knows
>>
>>217454547
And nihilistic ultraviolence is truly meaningful only in the context of a system rigged by an apex power that harbors + protects a highly organized, sophisticated network of childsexTrafficking. Violence as the last recourse, as in RoboCop had to avenge for personal vendetta from within the system that retrofits him into his "final form".

>child-sex trafficking pimps

aka every politician in American history
The people vote them into office everyday from both parties

another moron fooled by feminist takes by the lefty agitators with shitty video essays
>>
>>217453525
>>217452763
In the script the whole prostitution ring was made of niggers, retards. They changed it before filming because they thought it would be too controversial, but the racial element of the story is still obviously there.
>>
>>217454691
everyone knows this, still doesn't make it racist, especially not after making them white/italian/kike whatever they are supposed to be. i dont see any overt racial elements in the movie. scorcese's cameo with his comment on the nigger fucking his wife is supposed to be another weird fuck in travis' cab that he has to deal with.
>>
>>217454641
>>217454630
This absolute word salad is what passes for analysis nowadays?
No I'm really interested. Tell me how one guy killing a few pimps solves child sex trafficking. I'm dying to hear it.
>>
>>217454750
The way he is really standoffish with his one black co-worker is the most of this in the movie, beyond that not really.
>>
>>217454782
taxi driver is not about sex trafficking or women, its about travis and your question is completely irrelevant, you either didnt see the movie or are trolling.

He was a manlet. That is something you usually only see in third world shitholes like China, Israel or Palestine so no wonder people find him disturbing.
