It was prescient in its own way. At the time a lot of white males saw D-FENS as the movie’s hero because he went after targets that frustrated “average Joes” (e.g. stupid adherence to corporate policies like in the scene you posted). Of course, in the end the character was what we’d now call an MRA whose “avenging vigilante” act served only his own sense of thwarted entitlement. The Robert Duvall detective character tells him what a spoiled crybaby he really is:
Sadly, the real difference between then and now is that where D-FENS was horrified when the neo-Nazi said they were the same the current crop of MRAs and incels and their ilk join the rest of the alt-right in twisted solidarity.
