I tried to rewatch Dredd a couple years ago and I turned it off because it was so explicitly fascist. It just felt like a conservative nightmare fantasy where crime is so bad that of course we should let cops kill whoever they want. You’re supposed to 100% buy this logic and root for Judge Dredd and the other white woman cop who spends most of the movie holding a black man captive. Like you said there was no satire, they pulled a reverse-Starship Troopers.
