It points out that in order to get people in unison to rally round a cause, fascism and the dehumanisation of the enemy is an important part of that.
This notion is perhaps muddied by the fact the bad guys are mostly unthnking insects. If they were humans -- an army from another country -- I think viewers would have been much more appalled by it. The dehumanising element would have been a lot more apparent. But because they are bugs, they are conveniently non-human, allowing Verhoeven to push the fascist theories and hatred of the enemy.
There are only a couple of wimpy liberal views and they are portrayed as sappy and ridiculous. And they kinda are, but a more rational voice of peace never gets a mention. It's a fight or die world.
There are some really good dark elements to this movie, like the Doogie Howser psychic guy admitting he let people die, knowing there were bugs in the area. And then the next lot of troops drafted being literally children, implying that most of the young adults who recruited have being slaughtered.
So the victory is a sour one, a strangely weak victory of a bug captive, at the cost of millions of young people. That's what you're cheering for at the end of the movie.

Growing up in the UK, Wimpy's seemed like the sad, decaying also-ran of burger chains that soon died a well-deserved death
Then 1 night in Tokyo in the early 90s, I walked around a corner into the main square of the Ginza to be blinded by a brightly-lit, glass-walled 4-storey monument full of people
"WTF? That's a WIMPY's?! Wimpy still exists here? And it's massive, too?!"
(Didn't see anyone chasing animals with a meat grinder)

Just got dinner #Jamaican food. From a restaurant called #FernGully which amazes and amuses me.
Little bit #spicy for my wimpy palate but still very tasty. #UberEats

As a wimpy ‘hate walking on anything remotely slippy’ type of person I can heartily recommend the ice grips/studs that you stretch over your shoes. They’ve had a thorough testing on our local roads recently. Our little road has been gritted but there is still thick ice where water run-off from the fields has frozen. #IcyRoads #IceGrips

A couple of months ago I built a ZX Spectrum themed 🌈custom keyboard as a birthdsy present for my Speccy loving pal @popey 🎁
https://mastodon.social/@popey/114438652852702651
I love that keyboard and wanted something similar for myself 🥺
My first computers were the VIC-20 and Commdore 64. When I found the SA Retro keycaps at Signature Plastics ⌨️ there was no avoiding the obvious outcome 🤓
So, I've modified an ISO variant 🇪🇺 of the Evoworks Evo80 keyboard 🪛
And here it is, in all it's biege and brown glory 💖 #retro #commodore64 #commdore

@vladh the history of margarine is crazy. @wimpyking gave an excellent talk about it at #IgniteLiv a few years back

I do have #MagicEarth 🚗 🏍️ 🚲 and #BikeCitizens 🚲. I'm actually paying for the latter. I like it. 👍Anyway, I was curious if EDSA was bikeable* for the wimpy not-so-experienced #PedalPushers like me. 😁

Wimpy is the higher class version of McDonalds as food comes on a plate with knives and forks. They save costs by delivering it palm up, but with perfect nails.

First time in a #Wimpy today, and it was a very pleasant experience: proper plates, glasses and cutlery. Table service. More vegetarian options than I expected. I'll be back!

If you show them your inked thumb on election day, #Wimpy will give you a free cup of coffee. :)

The Lily Cafe Weekly Highlights – May 15, 2026
At Home
We have bunnies nesting in our wildflowers. I don’t know how long they’ve been there for, but, from the way parts of the patch were smashed, I had a feeling something was nesting in there. We sowed a lot too many seeds there, so I guess they thought it was the perfect place to nest.
In other news, we’re almost back to normal. My son’s homework load has been normal since he managed to finish his state testing in two days. My daughter is, hopefully, wrapping up her testing today or Monday, which is good because she starts braces on Monday and we tried to time it so she wouldn’t be testing in pain. She has one more project left for the year, and it looks like my son might be done with projects. Thank goodness!
Our new range is slated to arrive today, which is a huge relief. We’ve been without an oven for over a month, and, at one point, it didn’t look like it was going to arrive until mid-June. But I don’t think I’ll get much time to bake anything. Our weekend is completely booked with things. Somehow, everyone must have gotten together and decided everything must happen this weekend.
What I’ve Read
In progress: All Hail Chaos by Sarah Rees Brennan
I am still reading this, but have finally made it to the last quarter. I can’t quite tell if it’s me with how busy life has been lately or the book. I have been busy, mostly with tidying my house and emptying my inboxes since I’m not currently writing or editing something. But I’m also struggling a little with the writing. I’m reading multiple paragraphs over and over because, for whatever reason, while I’ve grasped the story, the writing makes me a little confused the first time I read it. It’s also dragging a little because so much is focused not on Rae, whose story is barely moving.
Kids’ Reading Corner
The 6th Grader: Over the weekend he was having some trouble falling asleep, so I told him to read a book. I think he’s finally a little bored of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books? At least, he didn’t want to pick one of them up. He wanted something funny, so I handed him The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. He spent a few nights making a valiant effort, but only reached chapter 3. I think it’s a little too adult for him, but I’m reading it to him at night. I’m hoping this is like our experience with The Phantom Tollbooth. The first read through went over his head, but, the following year, he was cracking up all over the place.
The 3rd Grader: She’s undeniably the easier one to get to read. Right now she’s reading a kids’ biography of Audrey Hepburn for her last school project. We’re also reading the Humphrey books at night. I got a few books for her from our local library, so she can enjoy Stick Cat, a young Nancy Drew, and maybe try Dork Diaries.
The Kitchen
No baking, but hopefully next week!
The Writing Lounge
I considered a haunted house story, but now I’m stuck on one that involves a portal, ancient gods, and a baker. It feels whimsical, but I can also feel teeth sinking into it, so that’ll be interesting to write. It feels like something I can have a lot of fun with, and maybe do some wicked cackling.
Featured Posts From the Cafe
I am still working on emptying out 2 inboxes, so I only shared my first fantasy reads and my review for A Sprinkle of Sweet Serendipity.
Blog Stats and Other Interesting Things
As much fun as this section has been, I’ve decided to retire it for the time being because 1) it’s kind of a pain to do and 2) I’m currently in my “I don’t really care about stats” phase (I cycle back and forth, so this section might return one day).
Featured Blog Post
Each week I aim to share my favorite post of the week. But, as my brain is increasingly cluttered with manuscript-related things and I’m getting increasingly sidetracked by my backyard as it’s gone from dead to wildflowery to I’m worried it’s overgrowing, I’ll be taking a break from this section.
If you would be so kind, one of my best friends is an artist and recently opened her online store. If you like LGBTQ art, take a look: Sunlight & Sky.
See you next week, and thanks for reading!
