Yes, he and the rest of the fascists are afraid! And angry. They should consider anger management sessions. Get at the root of that anger, don’tcha know.

i checked back in on twitter yesterday and the first post the algorithm showed me was Brianna Wu arguing that Starship Troopers wasn’t fascist because she has based her politics on it.
the second post in my feed was a nazi meme account listing their favorite racial slurs.
i closed the app.

I guess that means she’s going to enlist so she becomes a citizen and can vote.

heres the thing; starship troopers is exactly what the fascist society pictured in the film would put out as a propaganda-blockbuster…all the cynical sarcasm in st is their definition of “genuinely funny”, “campy” and humour in general. the film works both ways and a lot of people back then didnt get the satire and quite some of them were progressives. for fascists on the other hand its their perfect sf-blockbuster from a future with a perfect anti-star-trek-society.

I’d argue it isn’t either: it’s a satire of fascism.
My politics were already set against fascism before I saw it though.

Yeah, because communists don’t know anything about service and the duty to your fellow citizens?
