This why I don’t understand you guys worshipping this movie. You realize it’s a multicultural society right? You don’t have to side with the bugs, but you also don’t have to side with the side that lets Shaniqua be President and undermines traditional values by putting women in power or in the battlefield. This movie is hardly about fascism, it reads off as more some retarded neoliberal fantasy.

Because the movie is a satire on neoliberalism itself being fascism. It’s not “fascism bad,” it’s mocking neoliberalism.
>>
>>214947914
Well, quite literally, Verhoeven was positing to the audience that he was going to present a fascist society "that works", and was indirectly asking the audience if this is what you want.

So, you could say it's a satire, but it's not really a satire. It's more of a reflective hall of mirrors designed to make your question your own leanings.

Liberals don't know what "satire" means. Starship Troopers is a satirical movie and Verhoeven is a satirical director in general. But that does NOT mean "le making fun of le social ideology and telling you what you should le think" satire. Liberals have convinced themselves that all forms of media are overt sociopolitical/ideological propaganda and get confused and frustrated by anything that is either nuanced or just humorously self-aware.

Oh Heinlein was one sick puppy (heh heh) that's for sure. But it was a different time. I never got mad at science fiction exploring weird and fantastic ideas of perfectly transmuting into another gender on a whim. Struggling to understand the extremes of our own states of being is what the written word is for. Of course it became utterly ridiculous when the marxists picked up the idea to use a destabilizing wedge against objective reality and traditional family/social structure.

I don’t see why pointing out the movie mocks neoliberalism means you’re a /pol/tard or a russian bot. The fascist reading is still there, the problem is liberals (neo or otherwise) aren’t willing to admit that neoliberalism itself is fascism or a precursor to it.

If you came here expecting me to be a stormfag, I hate to break it to you but I’m not even right wing. You don’t have to believe in this interpretation of the movie but don’t assume everyone who doesn’t subscribe to your interpretation of the movie is a Russian bot. I wanna approach you in good faith, so I’ll give you a link to pull out next time you wanna expose russian bots or prove deniers wrong. Besides, there is a difference between liberalism and neoliberalism.

I believe liberals are well intentioned, but they also need to realize these current institutions are what can lead to the rise of people they hate, like Trump or the far right. Ideally, Bernie should’ve won.

Yes Ivan mocking liberals is hating liberals. Yes ivan i understand your new strategy. You russian faggots have spent years calling everyone that recognizes your bullshit liberal/leftist/etc to push people into supporting nazis as opposition and that didn't work. You're now trying the inverse - trying to get the people against your influence raids, that you've claimed are liberals, to embrace nazis by equating them to nazis.

I don’t want people to support Nazis though. Besides, I literally just gave you a video exposing russian shills on a silver platter. I never particularly bought the idea of supporting russia because “america bad.” “America bad” politics is retarded.

It's stated that they're young, which is more an insinuation about how badly the war is going, ala WW2 where Germany was using kids to defend Berlin, nothing remotely to do with the efficiency of their socio-economic political state.
