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.

Great 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.

Quasi-satirical? I didn't think there was any quasi about it.

The movie certainly is (directed by same guy as Robocop) I can’t comment on the source material.

I think they meant it's just pure satire

The company made famous by designing and manufacturing the Nazi uniforms currently has over a thousand stores, including hundreds in the US, and earns billions in annual revenue.
