Not a good meme I know but just finished Starship Troopers for the millionth time. My father died 20+ years ago... The one thing I really want!

The irony here is that Starship Troopers is pretty damn fashy, and a lot of the manosphere leans in that direction as well. So it does ring true, in an odd way.

Wasn't it supposed to be a dystopian PARODY of fascism, though? That's how I interpreted the movie, anyway ๐Ÿคท

You are half correct. The movie is essentially a parody of the book. The book is unironic.
