Cocaine Bear posted:That is legit one of the best movies ever made and that book is (genre influences aside) one of the dumbest, most transparently political turds ever published. Verhoven is a genius for taking that source material, spinning it completely on its head, and making that awesome satire. Yeah he admitted Verhoven never finished the book and gave up due to the book being both boring + pro-fascism. I rewatched Starship Troopers this week and it still holds up pretty well for things like the visual effects. Plus the satire especially all the hilarious cheery "Everything is alright" bits from the fascist world government depicted in the movie is still relevant today for things like Coronavirus pandemic. The US response to the pandemic is like the famous klendathu drop scene in the movie in which the mobile infantry go in smug and overconfident, then get a wrecked due to their arrogance.

Cocaine Bear posted:Phew, that was close. We almost stopped talking about books we read in the past itt. Let's do Heinlein next! I'm sure someone here has a hot take on space fascism. Epic High Five posted:Forever War is notable as the first book I'm aware of to endorse and lay out a path to literal fully automated luxury gay space communism and didn't even leave the reeducation camps for the straights unsaid Son of Rodney posted:E: I've also noticed a lot of random Sci fi discussions popping up all over the forum so a place to bundle it would work imo. Is there a thread I'm missing? To bring it closer to the thread topic, Wired did an article titled Here’s What Sci-Fi Can Teach Us About Fascism that summarizes a Bruce Stirling interview/podcast episode(available on the page): Bruce Stirling posted:“If you don’t have a sense of wonder it’s like you’re dead inside,” he says. “But your sense of wonder can be used to trick you. You can have a sense of wonder over a thing that’s basically a conjurer’s trick, or a con job, or a rip-off.” Bruce Stirling posted:“There’s a kind of rhetorical trick that goes on in science fiction, and in fascism, that kind of says, ‘Don’t really worry about what this means for the guy next door,'” Sterling says. “That it’s so cool and amazing that you should just surrender yourself to the rapture of its fantastic-ness.”

Slamhound posted:What is it with this slob for some reason eliciting sympathy from the left? I’ve seen it all over twitter with some variation of “he was failed by his surroundings” or “it’s a shame he wasn’t educated.” That’s not how education works. if you educate a bigot you get an educated bigot. How many people did he infect because he is (or was lol!) a willfully belligerent fuckhead? The left has a lot of theories regarding the political utility or inherent nature of the lumpen, so anybody who even just some seem to believe is lumpen will result in a more mixed response than if it were, say, a landlord cop

Chief Medical Officer of Methodist Healthcare Dr. Jane Appleby said the idea of these parties is to see if the virus is real. “This is a party held by somebody diagnosed by the COVID virus and the thought is to see if the virus is real and to see if anyone gets infected,” Dr. Appleby said. feels good man

Yeah, we should probably figure out once and for all if this virus that's killed a quarter million people is actually real. Let's do some science on it by herding some people close together and get to the bottom of this once and for all.

Out of curiosity, is the advice that you (presumably) get following a positive COVID test legally binding? Like, if this person who went to a COVID party knowing they were positive, could they not be liable for the consequences of being there if they were told to self isolate?

Texas, Arizona, Florida, sort of across the sun belt more generally. Earlier it was really bad in like Washington and the Tri-State area. Not much fun.

It's going to be the one silver lining in what will be a horrific few months at a minimum.
