People have protested the military industrial complex for decades and centuries.

Here on lemmy i've seen more people cheering up at europe's rearmament than i've seen complaining about the military industrial complex power waste.

Europe is supporting Ukraine in an existential fight for their lives.

This is far different from wanting to generate a false naked picture of some person.

Europe is supporting Ukraine in an existential fight for their lives.

European governments are supporting ukraine government in multiple ways including sending them weapons, this has not much to do with european countries boosting their already over the top military budget.

This is far different from wanting to generate a false naked picture of some person.

I would argue that generating a false naked picture of someone is less harmful for humanity than spending the same amount of energy to develop a weapon designed to murder other human beings.
