How did the bugs manage to launch an asteroid all the way across the galaxy 100...

Really makes you think, huh?

They must since they traveled to a planet outside of our solar system.

Math, nigger.

>society built on warfare stage excuses for warfare

Woah

The real question is if they had FTL travel, why didnt they just accerlerate a big statue of a dildo into the fucking planets like the bugs did?

The planet would fucking explode.

Their asteroid say it was going 80km/s like 40% the speed of light and was 200m across would take about 220,000 years to get to us. So round that down a bit since its not the entire length of the galaxy. The aliens would have to have launched the rock at least 200,000 years ago at the point in time where the oldest known remaining sample of homo sapiens still exists. This would be assuming that asteroid wouldnt blow the entire planet to bits, which if we assumed that, it would have to be traveling even slower and predate the existence of homo sapiens which is at 315,000 years ago.

In short, buenos aires was an inside job.

I live about 45km from the epicenter, I wonder if my house would have resisted the shockwave.

It’s a movie. It doesn’t have to obey the laws of physics.

LMAO
>2019
>still thinking it was the "bugs" and not the jews

it's because the galaxy is actually flat but the federation wants to bury the truth so their space fleet funding is uninterrupted

they also falseflagged buenos aires because the buenos aires institute for galactic studies was about to conclusively prove that the galaxy, was in fact, flat

It's literally the 9/11 of Starship Troopers

As in, done by Jews to get whites killed fighting cockroaches in sandy shitholes

basically this

Tehy did a 9/11

>The real question is if they had FTL travel, why didnt they just accerlerate a big statue of a dildo into the fucking planets like the bugs did?
because their society needed war to properly function

the other way around actually

this guys knows his shit

It was a false flag you dip

How would the brain bugs do it though? Did they take human FTL technology

>Their asteroid say it was going 80km/s like 40% the speed of light
Are you stupid?

Wormholes. There's literally a scene in the movie where a ship near Saturn almost gets hit by an asteroid that "pops out if nowhere".

I the movie it isn't mentioned, but there has to be some sort of FTL means for the humans to travel to other solar systems.

>There's literally a scene in the movie where a ship near Saturn almost gets hit by an asteroid that "pops out if nowhere".

That has to be from one of the shitty sequels that nobody in their right mind would care about, because such scene isn't in Verhoeven's film.

Say goodbye to your social credit score

The cartoon was better

Didn't you read the book? The Arachnids have spaceships. That's how they were able to attack Earth.

>What is living in Argentina like?
Like many countries in the world, we are divided because of the "populism wave", we're fine now, but we could return to the dark side in the presidential elections this year.
Economically we're a mess right now, but getting better (depends a lot on who gets to be president next).

>Are you guys still upset about the Falklands?
Most of the people don't really care anymore. Everyone believes they belong to us, but the ones really upset about it are a minority. The war is remembered every year, especially at schools.
Culture and liberties are doing fine, maybe even really well.

Moar like 9/11 is the Buenos Aires of our reality.
The movie is from 1997, IIRC.

Did none of you fags read the book? The asteroid attack is one of the things taken straight from the book, and is absolutely not a fucking inside job.

I bloody well think not, lads

The Cherenkov Drive, yes.

The book is shit and Heinlein was a hack. The movie is better in every way. Verhoeven took dirt and turned it into gold

The original movie has a scene where Rico's ex-girlfriend is on the bridge of a ship with her new boyfriend, and they're almost hit by the asteroid. It's not totally clear what's supposed to be happening, but it does seem to come out of nowhere.

True

>The asteroid attack is one of the things taken straight from the book
yeah but it makes more sense in the book because the bugs have spaceships and advanced technology and FTL travel

>invade that planet for resources or whatever
If humanity can travel that fucking far I'm sure they can pick out some other lifeless dirtball to dig on

>Heinlein was a hack

Never change Yea Forums

>would you like to know more?

Totally plausible amirite?

They didn't the military industrial complex did it because they needed a war to distract the people.

It doesn't matter because BUENOS AIRES SUCKS

Ask yourself this, if they allowed the bugs to migrate to Buenos Aires what would've become of the law abiding white citizens of Argentina? So fucking nuke em I say.

Your citizenship had been revoked

> You read the book
Fuck off nerd

I remember watching Starship Troopers in the theater as a kid and was struck by how fucking violent it was. Good times

The CIA knew, but it was late Thursday and they wanted to take off for the weekend so you know they would work on the terrorist problem next Monday when they got back in to the office of course.

Because the bugs don't just exist on one planet and are in fact a galactic empire who were formerly alligned with the skinnies before Rico fucking nuked them all to hell and forced an alliance with humans. They're an intelligent hive mind who can transport themselves across vast distances in space without the use of technology. It's not even the initial reason why we go to war with the bugs btw, in fact it happens midway through the war.

Of course, that's if you read the book. The movie is brainlet tier garbage just like any Verhoeven movie as much as the greasy cave dwelling ledditors will deny it

It's not fascism in the book, fascism is s corporatist dictatorship. The govt in starship troopers is a meritocratic republic that requires military service to hold office or vote.

That's not fascism

>things are even pure solid or pure liquid. They most convert completely to liquid before losing sturctural integrity.

>It's not fascism in the book,
Correct
>fascism is s corporatist dictatorship.
Correct
>The govt in starship troopers is a meritocratic republic that requires military service to hold office or vote. .
Incorrect, it requires service, doesn't have to be military.

However, when talking about the film.
>the actor Michael Ironside, who read the novel as a youth, said that he asked Verhoeven, who grew up in Nazi-occupied Netherlands, "Why are you doing a right-wing fascist movie?" Verhoeven replied, "If I tell the world that a right-wing, fascist way of doing things doesn't work, no one will listen to me.
>Verhoeven says his satirical use of irony and hyperbole
Verhoeven doesn't think that a fatithful adaption of the book, which doesn't try to undemrine it, will be good.

Sorry, mean to say
>fascism is s corporatist dictatorship.
Incorrect

>Incorrect, it requires service, doesn't have to be military.
No, its explicitly military service. That doesn't mean being in front line combat but you need to have served in the military in some function in either a combat or non-combat role, and the training you endure is pretty lethal either way.

The reason for that being pretty complicated, most of the book is set up trying to explain what the government is.

Then you're just wrong. Not every kind of right wing authoritarianism is fascism, fascism is very specific

The bugs in the book were more advanced. They had cities and some form of space vessels.

Fake news.

Show one scene in the entire movie that indicates the brain bugs are at all sentient. How do you know the humans didn't just pull a bunch of larvae (which is what they look like) out of the bug "Command Center"?

I dont get it are the chinese the human government or the bugs

Attached: bugs.webm (320x640, 1.82M)

what happened

the bugs in the movie were also advanced, they controlled entire regions of space. retards think they're no different than earth bugs when clearly they had space travel and surface to orbit ass weapons

entry tier theory

Not all fascism is Italian.

No its not. It refers to Federal Service not necessarily miltiary, though military is the most common.

Someone got hurt but typically Chinese won't help. And these are the guys who might rule the world, just think about that...

How can they be advanced if they have no discernable tools or technology? They came across as slightly clever animals (read insects) but other than that you really couldn't classify them as a race or nation even but just as a species and that's it. They seemed sapient but not sentinent.

Federation needed war to keep their society unified.

Why would a militaristic authoritarian state need public support to wage war?

exactly, that's why no authoritarian state has ever had extensive propaganda campaigns

Federationtards be like "Kek why would our tyrannical government need to lie to us about a fake asteroid attack" when I'm like "How didn't our hyper advanced space faring civilization with a literal defense ring around the moon not detect and blast the asteroid before it even entered the solar system let alone got close to Earth".

military authoritarian states still depend on public support. also they're a democracy.

why would you assume all intelligent life was human life, they certainly had the technology to shoot earth battleships out of orbit. their tools and tech are probably biological like zerg in fact where do you think zerg came from

the bugs have warp

the bugs and their tech are different in every movie/book, theres no point in trying to describe them

They didn't need pinpoint accuracy. they just needed to hurl a shit ton of themselves in every direction.

>pinpoint
Were they actually targetting Buenos Aries specifically?

>Buenos Aries
If they had been targetting Buenos Aries they wouldn't have hit anything

Fachist seeking technology

Like all blizzard games, they ripped off Warhammer.

there's a lot of starship troopers in there too

I think it's because their legal system is so broken that helping someone assumes financial responsibility for the medical bills. The state punishes you for being a good person. What a shithole.

How subversive Mr Goldstein

>fail to reaslise that fascism is so awesome it can't be parodied, make a kino that correctly points out the flaws od democracy and postulates a viable alternative
>that and the memes causes an entire generation to stop and consider it

Accurate

In the book only people who join the military can vote. The government isnt really racist or sexist. Its basically some sort of globalist fascism where they fight bug aliens

> fascism is very specific
>t. Grug brain whose knowledge of fascism comes from the TV and has never read any books by classical fascists

Because these "bugs" are smarter than you think. You're as retarded as the guys who planned the Klendathu invasion.

to kill the bug, we must understand the bug

Looks like a epileptic fit it. Probably bit his tongue pretty hard.
Everyone there has the (wrong) idea that they have full liability as soon as they start to help. They really don't. It's a misconception that nobody tries to correct.

t. civilian

Well that's fucking sad. I feel sorry for the Chinese people.

America sent a tin can to the Moon using antique computers (female niggers).

I don't feel sorry for the ones that eat animals alive

Based fredposter

in the book humanity is bent on galactic conquest and domination, the arachnids and skinnies were in the way. sort of the same in the movies except in the movies humanity isnt anywhere near as cohesive.

in the movie they evolved ways to be space fairing, in the books they have ships and they arnt as good as human ships so mostly they infest a planet and hide underground.

I know this is bait but jesus imagine being this much of a cuck.

t. false flagger

Why would it be bait? Heinlein is a fucking awful writer. Prose, characters, everything is shit. He's as bad as Martin or Rowling

Go ask the scifi general on Yea Forums what they think. Even they'll concede that Heinlein, PKD and Asimov all had shitty prose and clunky dialogue. They are still respected for the originality of their ideas but they were poor writers.

>implying Amerisharts would stop and help
I've seen countless videos of Americans walking by dying homeless people, dying people in suits, heart attacks, beating victims etc.

Diffusion of responsibility is not an exclusively Chinese characteristic.

Maths

Verhoven admitted he didn't even read the book. He decided it was fascist and just did whatever the hell he wanted with it. In the movie it absolutely was portrayed as a false flag attack to justify their war against the bugs.

God damn you're dumb. Here, I'll make it easier for you.

Yeah there is no gravity in space. God is what keeps those planets together and he rotates them with his hands.

Finally, a fellow man of science!

Verhoven was a retard who neither read, nor understand the book so when he infused it with his faggy liberal anti-war politics, the original material still shined through and thats how we got this unintended glorification of a responsibility-based anti-liberal republican system

The defense ring was setup after the asteroid attack.

Because in the original story the Bugs were working as allies with the more technologically advanced Skinnies, and Verhoeven didn't read the book.
