The irony here is that Starship Troopers is pretty damn fashy, and a lot of the manosphere leans in that direction as well. So it does ring true, in an odd way.
Wasn't it supposed to be a dystopian PARODY of fascism, though? That's how I interpreted the movie, anyway ๐คท
You are half correct. The movie is essentially a parody of the book. The book is unironic.
