‘This Place Rules’ Is More Like A Mental Health Evaluation Of America Than A Documentary

 “This Place Rules,” a new documentary film by Andrew Callaghan, has made me reconsider all of my life choices.

Call Dr. Drew! America has a major mental health crisis that only education, unconditional love, a complete detachment from macro-media and the internet, and serious therapy can solve. Don’t believe me? Just watch “This Place Rules” on HBO Max, and you will quickly want the grid to fail and for us to go back to tribal, subsistence living.

The film starts — and I can’t believe I’m writing this — with Callaghan interviewing one man whose entire face is heavily tattooed like the Joker and another who has no teeth, in the lead up to their boxing match. Their names? Joker Gang and Gum Gang. The rest of the movie proceeds into as much chaos as one could possibly imagine, and ends at the Jan 6 Capitol riots.

Despite clearly having “gone too far down the rabbit hole” of modern America, Callaghan somehow made a film that finally shows seemingly fundamentalist political people on the left and right look as insane as each other. The content does lean into showcasing how crazy people are on the right, but it’s not necessarily an unbalanced piece of gonzo journalism.

Callaghan, in my opinion, has collected and released valid documentation of the mass-psychosis induced from social media and normalized consumerism, and the accompanying purposelessness of most of our lives that is exacerbated by these sources.

Seriously. It’s like a handful of tools came together and destroyed our lives so they could sell t-shirts as modern society burns around us. 

With interviews from InfoWars host Alex Jones, a convicted pedophile who screams that the Clinton’s are baby-eating pedophiles, and a pro-Biden woman who can’t stop talking about former President Donald Trump naked, it’s honestly one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen. Ever.

You should definitely watch “This Place Rules.” It confirmed a lot of my fears and showed me that I should have become a park ranger or a trophy wife instead of spending my time scrolling memes and being indoctrinated by social media over the last six or seven years.
