pretty sure the saddest thing about modern American engineering and tech is that most of it is used for either military weapons of mass death or software tools of unimaginable surveillance and data collection
Nah, that's just scary and pretty par for the course, not sad.
Military weapons of mass death that either don't even work, they can't field, or are ineffective!
They're perfectly adequate at their job: Funneling money to Raytheon stockholders, and blowing up afghani villages.
can we stop this? you're doing the thing fascists do where the enemy is weak and strong
did we forget how many people have been killed by American weapons?
I was thinking about stuff like those helicopters that crash constantly, the way so much of the US military is in disrepair, from that thread recently. It was just meant as a jab about how the US military is an inefficient machine that exists for profit, not winning wars. I guess that's not "mass death" though, more like bombers and drones. Sorry.
I dunno if it's DOIN A FASCISM to acknowledge given that the US is a country that's party to genocide and so much more whose genocidaires are senile old men and big wet reality TV personalities, but y'know...
The weapons of the Amerikkkan military are extremely good at killing people and at generating shareholder value. They are not very good at achieving strategic objectives like opening straits or winning wars.
