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.

Yeah, but you've got to admit, the baddies are always dressed better. That's got a serious Hugo Boss aesthetic.

Well that tracks, he was in the Nazi party and produced (but not designed) the uniforms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Boss_(businessman)

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?

Not really. Their hats were different, and they didn't have as much shoulder flair.
Plus the iconic painted blister pack that SW had on the breast.

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.

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.
