I wrote an essay about how the film is also a satire of liberalism. Still, it doesn't go far enough to present an alternative. The bugs are never humanized or revealed to be communists because Starship Troopers itself is a film that could have been made by the society it depicts (since it actually was...).

That's my plan with the next trilogy I'll be releasing. Other writers release one free chapter per day, then let you subscribe to a patreon if you want to devour more chapters before they're released. Once the books are fully released that way, I'll put them on Amazon. I have enough content right now to last about 4.5 months, and I don't trust myself to finish the third book in the trilogy before that time runs out, so it's probably going to be at least another six months before I can finish the third book and start releasing chapters. It's a litrpg historical fantasy which takes place in the 11th century, and, yes, it's all about building a workers' state in the Middle Ages.

The publisher told me that they would do audiobook versions if the books sold enough, but...uh...those versions haven't quite materialized, if that tells you anything.

Please make this really be you.

I wish I could, but pandemic worries keep me home.

Thanks, yes forgive my humblebragging. I'll have more books coming out soon and...uh...hopefully some kind of a way to turn writing into some sort of a job.

Haha thank you. Lacan is a deliberately bad writer so I recommend reading about him rather than reading him himself? I found this article pretty helpful:

I don’t actually know how accurate it is but one day I managed to set aside a few hours to tear through it, take notes, and google anything I didn’t understand. Afterward I felt like I knew his jargon a lot better. It was also helpful for understanding his ideas about psychology, and they work well with Marxism (but just become idealism without it). There are other good books about him too.

I ended up writing an entire essay about this lol: https://joeybuttafoucault.substack.com/p/base-and-ideological-superstructure?sd=pf

You basically described the plot for Commando? Except Arnold did nothing wrong, he just wanted to retire from the military to play in the pool with his daughter and hand-feed deer in the countryside. And if it hadn’t been for those meddling brown-skinned drug runners he wouldn’t have had to slaughter hundreds of them completely by himself, either!

Every person from the Philippines I’ve spoken with loves him. The Chinese are clearly trying to build an alliance with him and the Philippines. Maoists despise him. That’s pretty much all I know.

DSA PMC Karens pushing me to eat cockroach sandwiches.

Yeah I like them both but they are basically DSA libs.

The fact that they are small rather than big businessmen doesn’t make them good.

I might write a followup and have some questions for you in the future. My anger is directed against licensed lobstermen, not the people forced to work for them (by dire economic circumstances and purposeful underdevelopment) like yourself. Thank you for speaking up.

Thank you!

Thank you very much!
