When the topic comes up I like to point out Heinlein was writing StrangerInAStrangeLand , a book some called "The Hippie Bible", at the SAME TIME he was writing Starship Troopers. (en.wikipedia.org)

I've made the same points in many similar social media discussions. A bunch when people declared the Starship Troopers Movie wasn't satire.

I could have combined the replies to 1, but then they would exceed the character limit if I want to copy paste them elsewhere.

It's handy that the reply char limit in some places is same or smaller than the title of a post limit elsewhere.

I did the same thing recently, exported tweets, but sent it to my subreddit instead. Still working out what to send where :)
