    Memes are a thing where transphobes use references to movies made by trans people to make their points, and leftists use references fascist propaganda in movies to make theirs. Neither group seems to understand the irony of it.

      The real irony is misinterpreting starship troopers - a very on the nose critique of fascism - as fascist propaganda and then accusing others of not understanding it.

        Symbols and ideas change over time, same way the Swatiska, ok sign, and many Celtic/Nordic runes was used by Nazi lovers. This one is not special.
