i actually think its fine for a movie to not be thuddingly obvious. in fact i would say that interpretation is inherent to the experience of art.
which is fine when the stakes of misinterpretation are not "fascism is cool."
the fascist interprets everything to mean "fascism is cool." that's the advantage of a totalizing worldview. the average internet fascist's media diet is cartoons for babies. you do not have to make art that caters to the stupidity of people you hate.
Also starship troopers is thuddingly obvious. To miss the satire, one has to be bordering on illiteracy.
