These two points I agree with Conservatives on. Look at how social scientists cooked up alotta the critical theory (like critical race theory) and gender studies crap that's dividing society and may require an iron hand to bring under control. Look at how spoiled Millennials are given so much yet appreciate nothing. Michael Ironside made some damn good points in that scene.

The class society of ancient Rome had citizens and civilians. Women were also considered civilians. Robert Anson Heinlein had this irrational belief in the existence of the warrior who would use force for the good of the many. In all his work he failed to address a solution to the exploitative relationship between 'owners' and 'employee'. Ultimately, the 'Employee' makes the products, takes those products to the market, sells the same products, he made, to himself and finally he pays a fee known as Profit to some 'Owner' for a permission to own the same products he made and sold to himself. The owner gets to collect profit for doing nothing.....and many call that 'earning' instead of 'taking'. The way forward to a better society is to increase and maintain a strong minimum purchasing power of the end-consumer using the magic formula. (Magic Formula: 'Your minimum Purchasing Power' = 'minimum wage' + 'Benefits payments' - 'Cost of dignified living from cradle to grave' - 'Taxes, fees, penalties') Firms are no more "legal entities" than your back-up power generator is a "legal entity", and it does not matter if it runs on fossil fuels or if a bunch of humans must run on treadmills all day. Firms are just property and should be treated as such by the laws. Save the minimum purchasing power of the human citizens instead of saving businesses/firms.

The vast majority of business owners start from scratch, need to pay wages, taxes, upkeep, rent, benefits, insurance, etc. If there is a profit after all that, they get to pay themselves and feed their families. If not, they need to find ways to keep going, or they lose their entire investment. Most business owners are the first ones there and the last ones out. They are the ones that provide jobs for everyone else, and that's possible because instead of depending on someone else to make a living, they take on the entire risk and monetary investment of the business.

Watched this with friends recently for the same reason many others have lately, and one of the things that really stuck with me in terms of the characters is how they are essentially groomed to be the ideal of what the military wants from them. it was a little difficult to understand why the psychic stuff is in there, but Carl specifically mentions control, over other people even, and in by the end Johnny has been so whipped into shape that he ignores Carmen for the mission, and only decides to go for her because of Carl telling him to. To me it feels like they're setting up the sort of roles they want people to play in service where everyone is like Johnny, unfeeling and only about the mission, and malleable to whatever commands are given to alter that.

I was kinda mad at Denise Richards for dumping Johnny so quickly too. There are deleted scenes that show that other pilot deleting Johnny's messages and telling her lies about Johnny that explain what was really going on. It also made that dude's death more satisfying.

A key point from Sargon: "In ancient republics, it was the citizens that voted, and the citizens that fought. The people that defend what you have are the ones with the franchise. And these days, you defend what you have by paying your taxes, which funds an army, which is why every pacifist is a hypocrite. Their life would not exist were it not for their ability as citizens to provide force."

I think RoboCop, Total Recall, and Starship Troopers are a trio of movies that everyone should have in their top 5 must see sci-fi popcorn movies.

Verhoeven has this insane ability to take movies that appear to be brain dead scholock on the surface, but surprisingly strong and smart when you let the story sit with you and you take a closer look into it. Robocop, Total Recall, and Starship Troopers are all films that people could write off as flashy, action packed, and violent popcorn entertainment, but they are surprisingly smart, dramatic, and clever when you think about it. I don't know how he pulled that off, but my hats off to him.

It has everything I could want in a movie - excellent action, good acting, exciting and unpredictable plot twists, Denise Richards looking beautiful and solid satire

Paul Verhoeven, robocop too; Very proud on him making it in Hollywood and taking some dutch humor and critical views with on the world stage. Robocop and Starshiptroopers, even showgirls have more to them than meets the eye. Grts from Amsterdam

I love how hardcore Clancy Brown is in this, like when he throw a knife at someone's hand just for making a joke in the training camp.

Not a joke but a lesson. If the enemy has not hand he cant push a button.

Michael fucking Ironside, indeed. One of the most reliably badass character actors ever with just a hint of cheese-whiz.

@@jkdbuck7670 Vaguely, haven't watched that show since it came out but I was a fan when it was on tv. Years later I saw that it had come out on videotape but didn't get it because prepubescent me still remembered it. Hard to regret that decision seeing how tape players are relatively rare these days but I would like to rewatch it now. I sort of enjoyed the remake, especially when the OG lizard queen made an appearance. My fave role of his was in Scanners. So gleefully evil. Check his imdb, he's had so many roles and is still busy.

I've only seen one other person notice that in the opening montage of doing your part, they put that kid in uniform, and toward the end of the film when Rico meets his new squad there are kids not much older than the one depicted earlier. Seems like they used someone super young like 12 or 13 to make people think of it as super exaggerated, but then we come across 15 or 16 year olds actually on the front lines. This way the viewers think either "haha the infantry seems fun and jokey" or "haha nice comic relief," but the video also serves as a subtle disclaimer. "Just because you took it as a joke, doesn't mean we meant it that way" type of deal. Genius

"You don't have what it takes to be a civilian." One of the most fun to watch movies ever! Easily in my top ten.

I love how when the movie was out it was marked as fascist propaganda. It was amazing - like the journalist and most of the people watching lacked the intelligence to see that this was DESIGNED to be over the top. Criticism in a nice form, sadly people where - and are - too stupid to understand it.
