^^^^ Yes I can certainly see your interpretation which adds a bit more nuance.

I guess my observation would still be relevant with your explanation, which is that it still implies the ‘self destructive elements of the community are destroying us’ angle is implied in the trailer and tagline.

For me this is an initial impression from a short trailer and it in fact had me intrigued to see where they would take this movie.
