Couldn't understand what you were referring to so googled Verhoeven nude and discovered a reddit thread informing me that he filmed the shower scene in Starship Troopers while naked in order to get the actors to agree to being naked too
Now go read George Jackson's Blood In My Eye for a real trip
I'm not following the connection here either but I did look it up and it looks like a great read, so looking forward to starting it soon.
I think his analysis of fascism specifically is a lot more incisive than Verhoeven's. I have this problem of not being able to recommend things to people properly, because it feels like just restating the points made in a text, but in a lamer voice.
The Destruction of Reason is also straight fire. I really don't think the psychological profiling or media analysis of fascist figures or media is helpful. It's obscuring the historical emergence and progression of fascism in its different forms.
