Don't even get me fucking started on Starship Troopers

2019-05-14 02:41:07 UTC  

*desire to know more intensifies*

2019-05-14 02:41:16 UTC  

Alright fine

2019-05-14 02:41:18 UTC  

But yeah no seriously

2019-05-14 02:41:20 UTC  

Here's my two cents

2019-05-14 02:41:39 UTC  

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

2019-05-14 02:41:42 UTC  

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

2019-05-14 02:41:58 UTC  

Oh boy. You’re gonna love the marine Corp

2019-05-14 02:42:26 UTC  

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

2019-05-14 02:42:41 UTC  

It completely missed the point of the book

2019-05-14 02:42:48 UTC  

And as a bookworm, it pisses me the fuck off

2019-05-14 02:42:54 UTC  

I like to view them as separate entities

2019-05-14 02:42:59 UTC  

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

2019-05-14 02:43:06 UTC  

THat explains a lot

2019-05-14 02:43:10 UTC  

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

2019-05-14 02:44:29 UTC  

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

2019-05-14 02:45:05 UTC  

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.

2019-05-14 02:45:44 UTC  

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

2019-05-14 02:45:58 UTC  

So really, it's anti-globalist fascism

2019-05-14 02:46:05 UTC  

Still it was satire

2019-05-14 02:46:17 UTC  

I mean look at star wars right

2019-05-14 02:46:27 UTC  

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

2019-05-14 02:46:29 UTC  

They made the empire fashy as fuck

2019-05-14 02:46:51 UTC  

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

2019-05-14 02:46:56 UTC  

That's what we Americans do

2019-05-14 02:47:01 UTC  

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

2019-05-14 02:47:18 UTC  

@thatgoonsteve42 alderan was an inside job

2019-05-14 02:47:27 UTC  

Totally

2019-05-14 02:47:27 UTC  

Oh my gods

2019-05-14 02:48:08 UTC  

My political stance makes no fucking sense

2019-05-14 02:48:34 UTC  

I'm fairly right wing and a die hard constitutionalist

2019-05-14 02:48:56 UTC  

Same on most issues

2019-05-14 02:49:06 UTC  

If you wanna change that, cut out the fat. Trim it down so that it's basic and easy to understand. That's how the commies did it and look how easily they took control of like twenty countries in the course of a few decades

2019-05-14 02:49:13 UTC  

For me it's this

2019-05-14 02:49:38 UTC  

Don't fuck with people's rights, help people who are in need, and mind your business

2019-05-14 02:50:00 UTC  

Basically I agree with that for the most part

2019-05-14 02:50:06 UTC  

Yep.

2019-05-14 02:50:23 UTC  

I also have very different views about why guns need to be protected

2019-05-14 02:50:26 UTC  

For starters

2019-05-14 02:50:31 UTC  

gun control is racist
