Reply to comment by penubly in Anyone else finding the Politics of Starship Troopers troubling? by Fafnir26

I´ve seen excerpts. And the movie is fucking brilliant LOL

I am still thinking about reading it, if only to please its fanatical fanbase and being able to discuss it better, just to be clear.

Fanatical? I think it's people who've actually read the novel pointing out that there are a lot of misconceptions, many of them from individuals, such as yourself, who are speaking without knowing anything about the source material.

You do realize that he wrote both Starship Troopers and Stranger in a Strange Land? They are totally opposite, politically.

Before you try to demonize Heinlien because you think he's a conservative, read both books and see what you think.
