    Starship Troopers being an allegory for Fascism, the bugs most likely the one’s defending themselves, and the entire production literally teeming to the brim with Nazi imagery, probably not the meme to be using today if you’re a fan of Egalitarian Secular Representative Democracy, but if you’re MAGA, it’s perfectly on the now

      So when other posters use this meme template as I did, based on the original intent, do you hyper analyze the still in that context as well? I mean, I’m just posting a meme stating I did my part today, did you do yours?

      Sometimes a meme is just a fucking meme.

      From knowyourmeme:

      About “I’m Doing My Part!” is an exploitable image macro and GIF taken from a military recruitment commercial within the 1997 film Starship Troopers. The GIF and image are widely used as a reaction in both serious and ironic contexts to illustrate that individual actions are contributing to a larger movement, trend or cause.

        You’re right, it’s only pretending to not have context.

        I think it’s fairly apt, to be honest, just apparently not the way you appear to have intended or been aware of.

        Personally, I only ever remember seeing that meme for destructive activities.

        But people do use that “I sense it’s afraid” one very badly once in a while. And yeah, people do almost always complain.

    A dangerous meme if the conservative target market could see past the special effects and violence of the movie.
