What’s your favorite film? Starship Troopers? Go back to reddit.stormfront.
I get what you mean but Starship Troopers is a critique of war and militarized states.
My sibling in Kristallnacht, a militarized/police state is exactly what this is. This is war turned inward. This is what fascism looks like. This is fascism.
They’re starting with (mostly non-European) immigrants and trans people, and so on.
The Independent: Trump State Department official has repeatedly called for mass sterilization of ‘low-IQ trash’
We might be talking about different things. I’m just saying that Starship Troopers is an anti-war film and most of the people who like it are fairly liberal.
Yes. My point was that the type of people who think it’s reasonable for troops to hide their identities are the same people for whom Verhoeven’s satirical fascism goes over their heads.
Ah. Now I understand. I think those people prefer more naked propaganda like “American Sniper” though.
Doesn't seem like it, but OK. It's not a big deal.
Hell or High Water. Fantastic utilization of visuals combined with smooth and enjoyable music. Love the whole trilogy, but this is my favorite of them.
