Lol that’s a libertarian viewpoint

I was one, once. Got tired of their pro-corporate bullshit

The problem with Liberatians in the US nowadays is that they refuse to acknowledge that tyranny doesn't just come from governments. If power were shifted to corporations entirely, they'd be no different

People matter way more than profit

Lmao yeah I understand that

I’m a

I’m a Constitutionalist if you had to put a label on me.

But! Capitalism and Corporatism are completely different

Also pic has no relevance

My veiws summed up in one sentence "service guarantees citizenship"

Yuuuuup

Oh Odin's beard...

I can get behind that. One of the best books ever written

Don't even get me fucking started on Starship Troopers

*desire to know more intensifies*

Alright fine

But yeah no seriously

Here's my two cents

The book was a fantastic way of criticizing the psychosis of militaristic fascist society

I feel slighted by life. Born too early for cap troopers to be a thing. And I have to deal with anti vaxxers

Oh boy. You’re gonna love the marine Corp

The movie from the standpoint that it was a late 90s action flick with excellent special effects and good acting, was wonderful. From the stand point that it was based on a book, it was the biggest piece of shit

It completely missed the point of the book

And as a bookworm, it pisses me the fuck off

I like to view them as separate entities

Actually the director hated the book and made a satire propoganda piece out of it

THat explains a lot

I love the movie for the movie. I love the book for a fuck load of reasons

Because obviously the movie was meant to make fascism look bad on every level, from poor leadership to "having nationalist veiws" as bad

Heinlein is one of my favorite writers. He actually introduced me to libertarianism with The Moon is a Harsh Mistress or There’s No Such Thing As a Free Lunch.

Well, actually if you look at it, it was anti-globalist. The world of starship troopers is united

So really, it's anti-globalist fascism

Still it was satire

I mean look at star wars right

Well yeah. Eventually the world will be one big country in like 300ish years.

They made the empire fashy as fuck

I have very different ideas on patriotism. I'm a patriot not from the point of view that my country is the greatest, but from the point of view that my country tries and can always do better

That's what we Americans do

The Empire still did nothing wrong. Fucking space ISIS out here plotting terrorist attacks in the name of a hokey religion.
