starship troopers the movie was a literal send-up of fascism and you are sitting here arguing that we should do fascism so absurd it is the realm of actual parody

or you're advocating for the book's straight up fascism. either way, you should eat a bullet, nazi.

I'm on about the book.

It's militaristic but it isn't fascism.

Heinlein was a fascist, full stop. Verhoeven didn't even finish the book before he directed the movie because he hated the fascist ideology in it and tried to satirize it in the movie but both the actors involved and a lot of audience members missed the satire.
