That's all hindsight 20/20. We've been indoctrinated since first grade to obey authority. In the heat of the moment if someone with a uniform tells you to do something you do it, and only later do you come to realize the foolishness of your actions. This one time in bandcamp a prank caller called in pretending to be a cop and told my drum major to strip search me.
>creepy dude walks up to you holding a canister >puts a device connected to the canister to your forehead >just stand there and let him do his thing >be surprised when you get killed
This scene always bothers me, 99% of people wouldn't be so damn stupid.
They'd probably still die, but they'd die trying to escape.
Essentially, yes. Have you ever heard of the Milgram experiment. People go along with just about anything when they assume the order is coming from an authority. That cop car would've alleviated just about any rational concern he had. He assumes the man is a cop, (why else would he have a cop car?) and so complies with everything he requests. While it would be perfectly reasonable for someone to refuse to get out of the car or ask where his uniform was, most people will simply comply with the demands of the perceived authority figure.
The Milgram "experiment" was scientific fraud. There were actually numerous experiments but they only publicized the version that got them the results they wanted. Particularly, in versions of the experiment in which the person giving the orders was NOT wearing the custom of a scientist, compliance rates plummeted. And in versions of the experiment in which naked commands were given without any appeal to the necessity of science, compliance rates also plummeted.
The milgram experiments showed that people don't blindly follow orders; they only follow orders when they perceive those orders to be in the furtherance of some cause they believe is worthwhile, particularly the advancement of science.
Wouldn't be viable but I reckon if you did an experiment where you pulled over people using a cop car and then a plain clothed person exited the car and approached them, around 70% would comply with the directions of the "officer" without question.
What? Most people barely comply with a command to step out of a vehicle when the officer is armed and uniformed. Only a total frickin idiot would get out of a car if a guy in plainclothes with no ID, uniform, weapon, or even reason asked them to step out of the car.
people die when they are killed. there's no room to be surprised between being killed and dying.

you'd certainly be surprised when you get killed and then turn up missing

No one gets surprised when they get killed and turn up missing because if you turn up you were never missing and if you're missing you never turn up. The only way it can come as any surprise if you're killed in your sleep and wake up dead.

you can be surprised if you're still in the act of dying but not dead while getting killed
Most people, even gun toting Americans, are socialized enough to where the risk of a social faux pas is seemingly greater than the risk of death. It's the reason why some 90lb women don't cross the street when they see a scary looking black man walking towards them: the risk of social faux pas (seeming racist) is greater than the risk of a mugging, rape, or death. Smart criminals and scammers know this and take advantage of it.
He's GOD in Chris Langan's CTMU. The GOD, or primary teleological operator, is self-distributed at points of conspansion. This means that SCSPL evolves through its coherent grammatical processors, which are themselves generated in a background-free way by one-to-many endomorphism. The teleo-grammatic functionality of these processors is simply a localized "internal extension" of this one-to-many endomorphism; in short, conspansive spacetime ensures consistency by atemporally embedding the future in the past. Where local structure conspansively mirrors global structure, and global distributed processing "carries" local processing, causal inconsistencies cannot arise; because the telic binding process occurs in a spacetime medium consisting of that which has already been bound, consistency is structurally enforced."
Anons I speak for everyone with common sense when I say you wouldn't fricking just stand there when someone puts some weird thing against your forehead, you would react, try to put it aside and say 'what is that? what are you doing?'
I mean if a cop car pulls you over I get it, you just do it, but then you see a man dressed in civilian clothing, that's strange, that's your first red flag, then he doesn't even tell you anything cop-like, doesn't ask for ID or anything or even tell you why he pulled you over that's the second red flag (by the way it's a fricking desolate road obviously you didn't do anything wrong, maybe a broken light at best), and the third flag is that he's carrying some weird shit and trying to put it in your head, I bet all of you would instinctively hop in your car and go after that, it's sketchy as shit, that's three strikes and you're outta there
You're missing something crucial. If you assumed this guy is a criminal, why would the criminal order you out of the car to kill you? Why wouldn't he just shoot you the moment he walks over? Why risk a fight or non-compliance when he can just surprise you before you realize he's doesn't have a uniform on.
What seems logical to you now might not in the heat of the moment. We're always told how jumpy policemen are, wouldn't you worry about him shooting you for trying to start the car to get away? In the moment the most logical thing would be to comply, but by the time you realize you're fricked there's a giant man in front of you holding an industrial killing machine and you're out of the car.
Because the Coen Brothers can't direct and The Big Lebowski was their only good movie (honorable mentions to Raising Arizona and Fargo)

Why wouldn't he? Standing in mute confluence with parallel denizen of sleek chrome container laden with shrill topwired powerbox he had no other thought than to await whatever idea the man with an oblique contraption had in store for him. Whether it was the plunge into the depths alien to scorching desert sun or just continuing on after a jape of sorts played above the midpoint of his countenance he had no choice but to obey. It is unfeasible to blame the sliding axioms of physics or the cascade of scientific errata as it only served to underflounder the edifice of his reason.
His pineal gland was terminally calcified. It was time to send him on his next cycle of soul migration into literal cattle. Lady at the desk and Llewellyn's girl could set boundaries which he had no problem observing (aside killing the latter), guy in the scene wasn't prevented from doing the same.

He came out of a cop car
I know but he looks nothing like a cop. my point is that it's very odd for anyone, let alone a cop, to give you those instructions.
But he had the cop car.
like 95 percent of humans are fricking cattle, man.
Aye. Not me, though. Obviously. I’m more of a wolf, or a dragon.
Everyone is cattle to somebody
I’m more of a BVLL

This. Plus the average texan guy back then was fricking moronic.
He was obviously not a cop though.

are you moronic?

I don't think that's possible
how
you're dead before you're surprised
Before you're dead you have to be killed

And that's why a cattle gun doesn't work as a weapon. You'd have to be restrained or literally let someone kill you with it

some people on instinct think it's a fed or you're dead
you're dead for noticing that person anyway
nothing happens and then the main character and his girlfriend die: the movie
It's not that deep. They were just making fun of country bumpkins.
why did he shoot at the bird on the bridge anyways
He was shooting at God
Because the Coen Brothers can't direct and The Big Lebowski was their only good movie (honorable mentions to Raising Arizona and Fargo)
Prove me wrong- WAIT YOU FRICKING CAN'T
he needed the car
Coen bros are so overrated, look at this gritty ass cinematography
this scene says a lot about society. people don't question authority and live like cattle. that's why anton killed him with a cattle prod.
just to feel something.
no man from Texas is gonna let a mexican walk towards him like that without lighting him up, no matter what car he came out of

Which federal agency is the most based and why is it the Border Patrol?

Perhaps the country for old men was the friends we made along the way?
His pineal gland was terminally calcified. It was time to send him on his next cycle of soul migration into literal cattle. Lady at the desk and Llewellyn's girl could set boundaries which he had no problem observing (aside killing the latter), guy in the scene wasn't prevented from doing the same.
he was in shock and froze
He said. "This ain't no country for old men."
