While it’s fun to see Sargon humiliate himself, remember that he’s banned from twitter for life and remember to report that account, if that’s him.

like you can argue the book isn't fascist (you'd be wrong) but the movie is 100% unambigously a satire of militarism and fascism, how is paul vervohoven too subtle for you

the book was insanely fascist and stupid and incoherent to boot lol, I usually tell people to just pretend his ship blew up on the way to officer's school and say you've finished it unless the thought of Heinlein jacking off while trying to make his insane fascist worldview work out and be coherent is one you really enjoy

Claiming "soil" in America when you aren't a native will never make sense, and will always be the funniest thing about American xenophobia and nativism.

Starship Troopers becomes a bit more coherent when you know that Heinlein wrote it in reaction to the anti-nuclear weapons movement. That's why mini-nukes feature so prominently in the story, because we'll also need mini-nukes IRL to mass murder all the filthy communist hordes. The "Skinnies" are Koreans or Chinese, allies to the bug Soviets. It's all paper thin allegory.
