The world as it is today has been increasingly preparing us for the eventual failure of capitalism and the only real way up the spiral of evolution reveals itself to be communion and transcendence, hence why we're headed in the way of global communism, globalization and woke culture as the necessary death and re-birth spiral of transformation. Whereas the humans that act like the bugs in this film tend to choose the alternative, and that is in the form of predatory separation and disconnection, and Carl Jung has already described these two separate basic body instincts, the surival instinct of self preservation, and the instinct of expansion and thriving and connection at the cost of sacrifice, which is the natural progression of the evolution of the former instinct. Whereas the latter one is asking for death as a gateway towards the new birth. In this film, it would be mean allowing those bugs to eat us as a sacrifice in order to give birth to a new system and the world. And this is the divine nature of grace. It is actually the only way towards evolution instead of devolution. Now this may give you hints about things yet to come in this world, but do not fear. Fascism comes only as a result of resistance towards evolution and love, it always hijacks our lowest nature.
It seems many people have misunderstood this film by embrracing what it has criticized, despite the fact it shows how throughout the history it has never worked long term, because it is a self destructive system that leads down a devolving spiral of evolution through the fragmentation within the psyche and the world outside as a result of the density of us vs them. It is traumatizing.
This film has perfectly criticised the animalistic predatory tendencies within the psychology of a fascist/conservative that needs to retain a status quo at all costs by establishing the enemy in the form of progress.
Some people would love to believe this film is true and promotes the way how humans should live for the purpose of retaining an utopian order of a dog eat dog world, wothout realizing detrimental effects of such a predatory system.
Fascism is only a manifestation of something called social dominance orientation - the degree to which a person desires one's in group to be superior to and dominate other groups. It's basically a person's fascism quotient and it appears to be a stable, heritable trait. Most people have a low to moderate social dominance orientation but about 20% of people (a figure that seems to be consistent give or take across countries and cultures) have a high social dominance orientation. These are the early adopters of fascism. Through propaganda and the weakness and self-interest of conservatives,they're able to gain a plurality in the political landscape. Violence and intimidation take them the rest of the way to total domination. What we're seeing is the way a dynamic in our species plays out in democracy. The anti fascist project needs to be to build a democracy that insures it will always be 80% against this 20%. This is why there are social scientists to ensure the balance, why there is cancel culture, why there is need for sacrifice of people's beliefs for the sovereignty and value of an individual.
The genuine definition of fascism fits those who defend a social structure instead of individuality and mother nature within humans that is in the process of deconstructing it, including its social morality, for the purpose of evolution and expansion of the collective. It originates in the dehumanizing thought or belief defining others for not fitting a created norm as malfunctional, delusional, abomination or degenerate (theocratic term widespread during WW2). Racism, Homophobia, Transphobia, all of these have always connected the entire fascist movements, it is its living tissue. This is why any invalidation whether it is pureposeful misgendering or judgment is promoting a fascistic mind within the society. It is ideologically rooted in dominance of belief over the value of an individual, it is also around anytime someone sees someone else as less human.
Starships Troopers seems so timeless because it transcends the nature of our lower nature and engages our thinking mind, may it remain as a dire warning and not something to be emulated. The film's theme is not as black and white as the characters in this film, there is a lot of truth sprinkled throughout the film, co-ed shower scene for instance is quite prophetic, as we're evolving to that point when people manage to transcend their carnality and the shame around the body once the collective at large wakes up to the realization that man and woman are pure sociological inventions designed to keep us within the denser levels of reality and sexuality which is mirroring the wars and social dominance of that world.
