Voyager I posted:The fact that it's also a very flimsy takedown with immediately obvious holes makes me think it's got to be some kind of bait, but by someone who somehow thinks this subforum is Pro-Fascism and will whip itself into a frenzy to defend the honor of Heinlein??? The only things I'll defend him on are his love of loving everything that moves and his weird idea for a hospital waterbed.

rndmnmbr posted:I invite anyone who believes Heinlein actually espoused the fascism of Starship Troopers to give The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress a read. There are a whopping lot of highly objectionable things Heinlein believed, but fascism wasn't one of them. Starship Troopers is more akin to a simple thought exercise. Its a book where world war bug starts because of some john birch type loons tried to convert bugs and got ate. I'm pretty sure the one thing he believes in is big ol tiddies.

McNally posted:Pretty ballsy to try to argue these points when you haven’t even read the book. I would like to point out that there is some subtext in this post, something the book, that the OP has not read, is full of. Though personally as a perpetually horny vet I'm more fond of the first half of Stranger in a Strange Land. Do word magic with your mind and hump everyone who's willing.

bulletsponge13 posted:I loving love the book. I'm all about discussing it; but I want to discuss it, not a YT takedown. I like the part a lot of people miss where a lot of it is Heinlien going "John Birch Society People are loving insane and the society they want is bad" considering how the war actually starts in the book, with a missionairy getting told to gently caress off and die by the bugs.

CainFortea posted:Officers are typically the first to throw their underlings in a wood chipper for a slight increase in their evaluation score. Which if you think about it is a really poor trait to have in a politician. It's this, a thousand times. Dont forget the emphasis on making spreadsheet blocks the right color regardless of weather the data supports it or not. Most of them are very practiced in self delusion.

M_Gargantua posted:We don't use gendered slurs anymore. I was referencing a previous failed GiP mod challenge. Considering what they called the non bug aliens in the book that would also be problematic and calling someone a civilian just makes you sound like a jaded passed over angry vet.
