I'm weary of anyone who says they only like the first half of Full Metal Jacket (the boot camp scenes) then turn off the movie after that. It's a surefire way of knowing I encountered someone who missed the whole message of the film and is probably a chud.
It's the same people who think "Fortunate Son" is a love letter to the US military in spite of the lyrics that clearly lampoon performative patriotism and protest the draft unfairly targeting the working class.
Hollywood gives the bad guys cool speeches all the time, then they eat a baby so you learn that people who say that better things are possible are always secretly evil
When I watched a SciFi movie in which the evil people were quite powerful I mentioned to my parents that obviously I would rather be part of the powerful figure, than having to escape all the time, when I was a very young child. The analysis was correct, though I also was like: How about just not letting it come to that in the first place?
It always scares me whenever people take the wrong lessons from satirical work. Good way to tell on yourself I guess:ohnoes:

I like the chuds who hear "FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!" and think that song was about not making the bed or whatever.

Tell, show if you must, but tell you must do. Don't "Show don't tell".
