There's no such thing as quasi-satirical.
It used to just be satirical. Now it's quasi-satirical. Reality has caught up to the satire, unfortunately.

#25Great movie. Amusingly, Verhoeven hated the book.
Which is his loss, because it's a great book. I really enjoyed Heinlein's exploration of what is needed to sustain a healthy democratic form of government.
Are you saying that a story where voting is reserved for "some people" is what is needed for a democratic government?

Perhaps his idea was to remove the pro-violence influence of the likes of Cheney and Trump. War is not healthy for children and other living things.

#29I guess a film about a fictional American fascist future society aligns pretty well with the current administration's vision.

Sure, it's a satire of fascism, so the movie was lost on Americans and didn't do well in the box office there.
