Not a good meme I know but just finished Starship Troopers for the millionth time. My father died 20+ years ago… The one thing I really want!

    The irony here is that Starship Troopers is pretty damn fashy, and a lot of the manosphere leans in that direction as well. So it does ring true, in an odd way.

      I read the book in my early teens and came away thinking “what a pack of idiots”. Then the movie came along and I felt like I understood the book.

      I’m sure I’m wrong.

      Is it though? Whenever people say that it’s always referencing the movie’s perspective not the book’s.
