The director of the 1997 sci-fi film, which has often been misunderstood, says the gung-ho soldiers who are its heroes "are fascists without knowing that they’re fascists. That’s the point.”

This is sad that we’re at this point in history when we have to have the obvious confirmed due to a lack of intelligence in the majority of a first world country.

    I actually thought that the uniform mockups were AI to make fun of the whole “Department of War” thing. I can’t believe they either completely misunderstood Starship Troopers or (more likely) want to openly pursue a fascist aesthetic.

    it’s both.
