Finally a reddit post about Starship Troopers that didnt miss the message. For something so on the nose, you'd hope this wouldn't be so rare...

Why is it always Starship Troopers with these people?

It is in a weird place where the film is a parody that uses blatant fascist aesthetic, but still has the non-fascist book structure of government.
So, it allows both side to see what they want to see in it to fit their narrative.
Obviously what the film tries to say is that this is a bad and stupid society, but one thing that Redditors don't really ponder is if it manages to actually say that.

Hmm I must decide if I relate more to the hot, fit people who serve their country and have camaraderie with one another to overcome challenges, or the horde of disgusting person eating bugs that live in holes
