Starship troopers’s point was missed by the same people making the sequels to it, I was so disappointed by the sequels, and don’t understand how they could have been so oblivious.

Alt Right tried to claim They Live as an anti-Jewish alligory.
Carpenter ended up tweeting:
“THEY LIVE is about yuppies and unrestrained capitalism. It has nothing to do with Jewish control of the world, which is slander and a lie.”
It’s the example I cite whenever someone tried validating a smooth brain media interpretation by claiming “Death of the Author!”.

Robocop’s message was pretty simple, I thought. If you do crime, you’ll get your genitals shot off by a cyborg.
