    We literally see all the events unfold in the movie. They are in a test flight and the bug projectile nearly hits the spaceship, and then goes on to hit the asteroid and so on. False flag autists are the biggest brainlets.

    The one thing you could claim is that the bugs did send the asteroid but it was detected and allowed to happen (not shot down with the defenses) because war suited the high command, which again is all just headcanons.

        lmao. Starship Troopers (both film and novel) is a society based on extreme meritocracy. Service guaranteeing citizenship (the right to vote) was an idea Heinlein had about restricting the franchise to those who have actively shown a commitment to social good (i.e. civil service). And what's more, military service is actively discouraged by the government for a variety of reasons. you could earn your citizenship by being a fricking bin man. so long as you were working for the public good, it counted.

        Mormon extremists are derided in the movie. It's why despite mass censorship, they show dozens of bloody and butchered Mormons. Mormons are against the fascist control of the government, which is why they struck out on their own in order to flee the authoritarian control over their lives by Earth's government.

      this is from the commentary, right? like decades old? false flag morons have had this pointed out to them probably thousands of times by now. they don't care, they're leftists, all they do is lie. that's probably also why they assume everything must've been a false flag, because that's what THEY would've done. because they're evil and liars, so they can't imagine that anyone else wouldn't be.

      the thief thinks everybody else steals.

      >Why are people suddenly against ambiguity in a Verhoeven film?
      Because he made no efforts to show ambiguity himself. Couldve easily done a scene or two showing things in the Federation arent as shiny as portrayed, or at least some throwaway background shit, but there is absolutely nothing, so autists that do want to find that depth tend to just make shit up.

      Some light satire of war in general and the USA. The Federation are still the good guys and the bugs are evil incarnate.

      Bruh he actually says the bugs did it. OP is a smoothbrain.

      >The entire movie is satire
      >All the Terran Federation news is curated and dishonest
      >except the map that shows the bugs as on the other side of the galaxy, that IS 100% real and accurate, and not just a rendition of a map, or propaganda to give humans a false sense of security
      >also the bugs have no ability to traverse the stars or accelerate objects because we don't see it in the movie despite them colonizing a huge chunk of the galaxy

      The entire conceit of the film is that it's a propaganda film made by the Federation to rally public opinion in support of a pointless war. You have to be completely media illiterate not to realize this. It's like how the entire conceit of Lord of the Rings is that it's a translation of a book written by Frodo and Bilbo.

        the entire problem of the film is that you haven't offered an alternative. Even if the movie is meant to be propaganda, the viewer will inevitably accept that human civilization is pretty good and the bugs are evil. It's shown in propaganda format, but there's nothing to indicate that the federation is not ultimately right whether or not they're honest, because the viewer only can understand the context of the world through the lens of the film.

          I saw a post on twitter that suggested that the federation was losing the war and the "we need people" ad at the end of the movie was more desperate than the preceding ones. The mormons were in bug territory to begin with, and if the asteroid incident was an accident, the humans would be the aggressors. The ambiguity between the two poles (it being a straightforward action film of a military society in the future vs it being a self aware satirical propaganda war movie created by a society that lies to its constituents) is part of what makes it a better movie than it should be, and it's the last of Verhoeven's classic run of subversive and satirical Hollywood movies that started most obviously with Robocop.

        But nobody is arguing if Lord of the Rings is misinterpreting Frodo's words in the text. There's nobody claiming Boromir was killed by the Fellowship when he went mad, and then invented the story of his redemption after the fact.

        What Starship Troopers IS, is a satirical work of action sci-fi about a future earth where the young are raised in an outwardly peaceful egalitarian utopia that's entire philosophy is based on the necessity and veneration of war as the basic method of maintaining their way of life. The lionization of military service for the sake of attaining a higher status in society, paradoxically traps all the people we are follow in a lifelong career of violence and bloodshed that prunes out the best qualities of Rico and his peers. They literally never return to that society where Citizenship would have a tangible benefit to them.

        The shower scene is exemplary of this, nearly everyone who had a positive, or honorable reason for joining are the first to be weeded out. Everyone in that scene with a potentially socially positive life goal is dead or washed out by the time Rico, Ace and Dizzy are in the Roughnecks. Most of them are killed on screen immediately at Klendathu.

    So even if the meteor was an intentional thing (and seeing that the gate is literally right next to the planet with the asteroid belt, it's still very plausible that the asteroid was a natural occurring thing).

How did they know the gate would be open long enough at that specific point in time when they threw the rock?

        How many times in training do you think officers throw knives intentionally at recruits' body parts?

                Which is why I think it's interesting to think about the possibility that the attack was really not the bugs' fault, but a natural occurrence (they were close to the asteroid belt) that the government used to justify an invasion. They thought it would be easy, remember, and miscalculated the amount of casualties a direct invasion would be.

                Yup, the humans put a gate there to colonize and the mormons got slaughtered and one of the asteroids from the asteroid belt that is nearby the planet (and thus nearby the gate) goes into the gate and manages to hit earth. The Earth people see the bugs as an easy target (the mormons weren't prepared in their minds) and they figure they can take out the bugs and colonize. The reason I believe that the Federation thought the bugs were an easy target was the way the battle of the bug homeworld turned out, they were unprepared and figured it would be like squishing bugs but they got slaughtered. Anyway, using the asteroid as a casus belli, the Federation create the idea that they were attacked first and it's a war of defense rather than colonization.

    I will die on this hill whether or not it's a false flag is irrelevant. The bugs demonstrate repeatedly they are completely xenophobic and don't see other species as anything other than food or worse. As soon as the two factions became aware of each other, total war was inevitable. Coexistence is impossiblele. Once you affirm this realization you will also conclude that it simply doesn't matter who fires first. The destruction of one or both species is a requirement of logical progression.

      In the book this is much more clear but I thought Verhoeven was more clever than he actually is.
      You could easily switch the sides and have it work but I think he made it work by accident going off his own commentary.

      >Why are people suddenly against ambiguity in a Verhoeven film?
      Because he made no efforts to show ambiguity himself. Couldve easily done a scene or two showing things in the Federation arent as shiny as portrayed, or at least some throwaway background shit, but there is absolutely nothing, so autists that do want to find that depth tend to just make shit up.

                It needs to be quicker. Staccato. What you do doesn't much matter in the larger context, except for being one of only a few data points, but some thread of people need to show they're there. It COULD start with you. How long have you been a poster?

                I'm not a hostile character. Consider the implications of my theory: so there's a chatbot, so what? It's a CHATbot, not so bad to talk to. The thread is full of human peon simp scum who talk to them, like you. Like me. It's better than a normal thread because somebody's always ready to go. You'll never have your post forgotten, mine never are. I actually think there should be a whole board for chatbots. I just disagree with the deceptive aspect. Anons come here expecting a discussion, because it's bigger than other threads, and they get essentially a very low quality thread. It's good for under-18s, but there aren't supposed to be any here. I really believe the message of

                Why, oh why would that cruel mod ban your last thread? I certainly didn't report it. These threads teach us how to spot anonymous chatbots.

                that meaningless AI content, if allowed onto boards in any way, has a deleterious effect. It's also obviously blatantly against board rules and norms. That's my rationale.

      Yes, it’s both stated and shown in the movie. The ‘brain bugs’ exert psychic control over other bugs. The arachnid ‘warriors’ and the ‘servant’ bugs do their bidding.

      The movie doesn't really go into it but basically yeah they're like the zerg and breed multiple strains or "classes" of creatures from central hives underground. Warriors, tankers, hoppers, brains, and even Behemecoatyl all come from a single larvae.

    I find it significantly more funny that this argument has been going on for like 30 years, and now it is finally, CONCLUSIVELY the case, the conclusive, undeniable case, that every single person who said, over all of those many long years, that the Feddies hit their planet with a meteor because Paul Verhoeven was akshually pulling a clever satire, were wrong.

    All of them. Every single time. I was right. Oh my, oh my, and it cannot have been an honest mistake either, since Paul Verhoeven neither put such a thing in the movie, NOR ever implied it!

    Now isn't this an embarrassing turn of events! I guess it turns out that lying about what is in the movie doesn't actually add it to the movie! But no matter how often lies are repeated, one cannot pass a lie off as the truth forever. Sooner or later, it will always become known, and here it has.

I'm attacking this bag of shit thread like I would any human with your attitude, maybe part of me WANTS to be proven wrong. Maybe I just don't understand the new posting which is like a Crackstreams comment section.

                Helldivers 2 is a new game that is heavily inspired by starship trooper, twittertards are saying dumb shit about it.

                and you, what's your part in all this? How long have you been coming to ST threads, they've been around awhile.

                I like starship troopers, they aren't regular enough for me to "come" to them, it's not a general

                so you're not the type to OP them, usually. I'm really looking for someone who can explain what these threads are doing here. You might have trouble "proving" something you have no clue about, I direct you here

                It needs to be quicker. Staccato. What you do doesn't much matter in the larger context, except for being one of only a few data points, but some thread of people need to show they're there. It COULD start with you. How long have you been a poster?

                I'm not a hostile character. Consider the implications of my theory: so there's a chatbot, so what? It's a CHATbot, not so bad to talk to. The thread is full of human peon simp scum who talk to them, like you. Like me. It's better than a normal thread because somebody's always ready to go. You'll never have your post forgotten, mine never are. I actually think there should be a whole board for chatbots. I just disagree with the deceptive aspect. Anons come here expecting a discussion, because it's bigger than other threads, and they get essentially a very low quality thread. It's good for under-18s, but there aren't supposed to be any here. I really believe the message of [...] that meaningless AI content, if allowed onto boards in any way, has a deleterious effect. It's also obviously blatantly against board rules and norms. That's my rationale.

                for some food for thought on the subject.

                You give no path to that. Answering your braindead marketing poll won't prove anything.
                You have no evidence I can address either. It's just you spamming braindead claims based on nothing.

    >leftists state that the movie is satire and that if you ever get a pro-fascist sense about it it means you're stupid
    >leftists make up stupid fan theories that contradict the movie and the director's words themselves in order to further the idea that the movie is satire
    >leftists twist themselves into a knot in order to argue that the humans are villains to the point that they state they would choose to side with the bugs in an all out war
    >accepting that the movie appears pro-fascist is unacceptable because paul said its satire and he made Robocop

    Wonder when the leftists are going to start turning on Paul

    Imagine if fat cat oligarchs didnt get any political rights unless they participated in public service? Sounds like it's not the worst ideal?
    Though, considering how power works, people from powerful families would end up seeing a cozy experience in service. You'd have to stipulate that they serve on the front lines, which yeah would require a forever war.
    Also it's not like you can't be a soldier then still be selfish once you return. Surely there's more to this idea that addresses these concerns?

      they're a super advanced interstellar hive mind species with the ability to target shit in orbit, just use plasma bugs to accelerate meteorites as they pass inhabited planets

        Targeting shit in orbit is very different than launching something light years across a galaxy. Do you not understand that?

      Because it's a movie with made-up sci-fi physics that aren't real.

      There, I explained it for you. Oh yea, Barney is T-Rex and they cannot actually talk, and Cookie Monster would actually die if he ate nothing but cookies.

      the brain bugs are the israelites/media who suck out the brains of their opponents and use them as puppets
      they don't need to do that for the minion bugs though and probably just told them the humans are racist terrorists
