Child soldiers? Live and die for the empire, they’re doing their part :im-doing-my-part:

Needless violence for the sake of violence? Hell yeah brother that’s the good shit :le-pol-face:

it doesn’t work. Anyone with fascist potential will look at whatever “Genocide Bad Guy The Metaphor Is Literally Spelled Out For You Armada” and think they’re fucking sick. You’re giving the fascists material.

IMO, if you really want to satirize fascism, hit them where it hurts: they are fucking incompetent buffoons who act like they’re god’s chosen race because they have no positive qualities besides the promised intrinsic ones.

      Id aim my ire at capeshit recruitment films and your average action flick over satire then. I guarantee Micheal Bay and Marvel has done thousands of times the damage something like Starship Troopers may have

          We wouldn't be having this conversation if it weren't for Starship Troopers actually. I found Chapo from a YouTube reclmmendation for a video where they discuss the movie and then I found the sub and came here. So I'm sorta in that net.
