Starship troopers ain't satire. There is no better strategic option than send millions of soldiers under equiped into their certain death. I mean they could bomb the planets from orbit, but that wouldn't be fair to the bugs, would it?
third world countries where multinational corporations have been buying up land and propping up and collaborating with authoritarian governments for decades: first time?
Wasn't this more or less the premise of Chinatown (1974)?
My favorite adaptation of Chinatown is an 80s noir murder mystery about race relations, municipal development, displacement of minorities and the privatization and subsequent destruction of public infrastructure.

Thank you for sharing this article. I suppose "Fear City" was very much the backdrop of the Joker (2019) movie ?
That is a fascinating piece of longform news. Thanks for sharing it!
Haha... ha.. hhh ..
Eyes front, citizen
Robocop? You mean American Jesus?
Wow. That Jesus-guy must've done some mindblowing stuff to constantly being made into a metaphor
Edward Neumeier be like "okay now that we've shown them how horrible that is, have everyone shower together"
Remember when RoboCop shot that dude in the dick?
Do you mean this scene.
