Baronjutter: Dec 31, 2007; "Tiny Trains"

Everyone seems to be talking about Starship Troopers suddenly on the internet. I've been seeing some wild poo poo including:

-A perfectly great description of the movie being an amazing parody of fascist propaganda. They 100% understood the movie and seemed to really understand fascism and how decaying fascist states need a war. But the closing remarks were then comparing Ukraine and "the west" to the decaying Federation from Starship Troopers and Russia and BRICs to the bugs who are now simply defending themselves and we need to support Russia's defense of their natural sphere of influence and hasten the decay of the fascist west.

-Nazi's and alt-right types going on and on about how even in the movie the federation is in the right and is good and how of course libs rather have humanity destroyed by bugs than ever admit a war economy might need a little discipline. Look how diverse the federation is. HOW can you say they're coded as nazi's or even right wing when there's racial diversity in the movie. This is a genuinely utopian society!

-Actually the Federation is clearly a satire on liberal society because the useless military is head by a BLACK WOMAN who's obviously bad at her job and there's forced diversity everywhere. It's crystal clear that the movie is showing how a society with so much forced diversity and women in the military is destined to fail. The federation's propaganda and brainwashing in school is exactly what the democrats/libs want.

People are loving insane.

The humanities department at my university regularly had various professors from the faculty fellows give talks with free refreshments

One of them was about how starship troopers wasn't a parody because it didn't wink to the camera.

Which was about as good as the one that explained that children who thought their parents were hypocrites just didn't understand their parents, because the views they listed their parents as having didn't match their parents' actual* views.

I don't really understand deliberately going to the loving double crypto (fascist/currency) site to hang out with such cool people as:

Weird Malaysian incel who cosplayed so hard as an American he got the death penalty;

Pro apartheid child stealing mom fucker who pretends he invented the written word while being dumber than a broken pencil;

7560000 Soviet propaganda Bots;

Several different types of terrorists;

Etc.

Like, you don't actually have to go there and give your data, money, and attention to three different fascist ethnostates, 2 of which are currently actively attempting genocides. You can just not do that.

The thing is, if I go collect takes from the loving scum of the earth and then repost them here, I might be able to get a lot of dopamine hits from being quoted by people who got mad. So, it's impossible to say if it's bad or not

Like it or not, if you have something to say on the internet, it's more likely to be seen by many more people on twitter than on any other message board. People post things online because they want it to be seen. Just talking to a few dozen people on a dead forum doesn't cut it anymore.

There were a couple of questions like that and yes he was taking it dead seriously as a 'fascist utopia', or at least putting up the pretense of doing so.

This isn't remotely true. Yes twitter has more users than these forums, but that's like comparing Skrewdriver to a local garage band and saying they must be good because they have a bigger audience. Instagram is Taylor Swift, and both are insignificant to all normies.

I hate Shat and TOS. It's an ugly show with horrible makeup effects and set design, bad acting, and childish storylines that frequently saw them visiting planets that happened to look just like the paramount back lot that were peopled by aliens that happened to look exactly like humans. The music was lousy, too. I guess shat was ok in the movies, they at least didn't look like they were intentionally trying to make everything look as cheap and stupid as possible.
