Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Directly quoting Starship Troopers completely by accident because you are yourself a caricature of a fascist is a real America as hell kind of thing to do
Everyone forgets that the meteor would have to have been launched before human civilization existed based on the distance
Also the humans apparently believed that bugs can launch asteroids perfectly targeted from light years away but also aren't intelligent
That's why Buenos Aires was a false flag.
It seems more likely that it was a freak accident that they blamed on the bugs.
Also, crack pilots who can plot optimal interstellar travel routes seem to completely buy it. Carmen has high math and science scores and pilots ships with FTL capabilities. In order to fling a meteor from Klandathu to Earth, the meteor would have to be propelled using FTL technology. But Carmen's evidence for the superiority of the human race includes that they developed interstellar travel, so it seems that they don't believe bugs are capable of it. It's a point of controversy that bugs even possess rudimentary intelligent.
So it implies that either the federation and the military are far stupider than they appear to be (plausible given their constant incompetence and poor education system), or they are so receptive to propaganda that they ignore the most basic logic (also plausible).
And that they completely ignored/missed it with their space defenses
Not surprising given how bad they are at their jobs. Carmen, a top pilot, is unable to dodge an asteroid with plenty of warning time. Two dropships crash into each other in the Klendathu drop.
When Ace gets his hand skewered with the knife, it's played as a cool badass lesson for rookies. But he actually was asking a great question, and their training is terrible at preparing them for combat against their actual enemy.
Ultimately, the fascist society loves war for its own sake. They love abusing each other and the aesthetics of war and the concept of eternal combat. As such, victory becomes tangential or even undesirable.

no one understands this movie... and why
PewDiePie
if there were a similar statement from a hypothetical and distinct character in a fictional environment, and another character were to mirror the sentiment back at the fictional congressperson that uttered it, that would be illegal in the setting of this scenario.

ACTIVIST: "Do you even have a heart?"
Silly question to ask given he's an Amerikkkan politician. These activists are too civil.
Maybe comrade activist is gathering intel on whether to use a wooden stake or silver bullet.
A silver gun with wooden bullets 
Comrade Choppy works every time
A silver guillotine it is then?
Wooden block with a silver edge if you're into efficiency
Silver block with a wooden edge if you're into slapstick.
'I think we should kill 'em all,' me says of GOP reps
funny, that's how I feel about GOP reps
funny, that's how I feel about ~~GOP reps~~ Congress
How is ogles his name…
Surnames tend to come from patronyms/matronyms (named for parentage), toponyms (named for where they are from, live, or work), occupational names, ornamental names (invented largely by the middle class to resemble the names of noble lineages), and of course cognominal surnames, which are generally based on descriptors of the first of their line.
By process of elimination, he's descended from a voyeur.
(Actually it probably came from "Ocga Hill" in Old English, which seemingly was used by anglo colonizers in Ireland)
