Yeah dude I read the book, but way to whip out “dont get your summation from reddit” to try to minimize someone’s critique of an old, and generally poor, scifi novel. A novel that did, very clearly, attempt to make a “justification” for a facist state. Was it a though experiment for Heinlein? You bet, but it still is what it is. His writing is what the movie is satirizing.
I called Heinlein a space cadet, not a fascist. If I thought he was a fascist, I would have called him one. As to the “space cadet,” aint no one writing “stranger in a strange land” without walking on moonbeams first.

Some people really need fascist states to be pinky promise not actually fascist. Or for fascist states to be good actually.
It’s too bad stuff like starship troopers and helldivers brings em out, kinda sucks the fun out of laughing at rico and co.
