The only movies that portrayed Nazis correctly are the Indiana Jones movies and Come and See. One for portraying the Nazis as a bunch of incompetent buffoons and the other for portraying the Nazis as a bunch of incompetent genocidal buffoons.

    This is totally correct and nobody wants to imitate being those nazis as a result.

    Verhoeven should have made Doogie Howzer's character into a fucking clown with a superiority complex that does stupid shit on camera while barking about how smart he is. That may have saved us decades of budding nazis getting unintentional inspiration.

    That would have definitely gotten the intended message across better and force UKIP to stan a different movie.

    Reposting one of my old comments:

    Fundamentally satire of fascism doesn't work because fascist ideology revolves around the idea that you're a loser made weak by the removed other but can be made strong and cool by doing all the violence.

    If fight club had a scene where Tyler Durden tried to ask a girl out in queue to the McDonald's breakfast menu, pissed himself out of nervousness, and then broke into tears in front of everyone. All that would change is there'd be a fascist org called Piss Boys whose initiation would involve drink a lot of water before queuing up for the world's greasiest hash browns.
