For the life of me I don’t understand the hate this book gets. Well I didn’t notice any hate til the weirdos infested sci-fi and you started seeing awards given to women who just whine about racism or patriarchy. I liked the movie for what it was but a faithful adaptation would be amazing. But at this point I wouldn’t want Hollywood anywhere near his works.

It's always drawn hate.
Heinlein of the late 50's definitely lived down to the stereotype of a sneering STEM nerd telling an english major to get a real job. Which didn't sit too well since at that point he hadn't touched engineering for decades, had flopped at politics, and had been writing professionally for years.
True. I know it was always controversial but the usual suspects seem to really hate it. I’m biased since I’m a veteran but I think the idea of some sort of service is interesting. Maybe not military but it’s an interesting concept.
I mean its the ONLY way we could ever come close to providing the free/universal <insert thing> that progressives demand. But the idea of putting in work to get something in return is beyond the average college commie.
Oh. You are saying that if you want the free medical care then you need to work for it? Like a certain contract?
