If I am elected president, anyone who has ever claimed to be "building a better future for our children" will have their mouths smashed off with a rifle butt.

It's satire. Original tweet was about an environmentally friendly radar system from Raytheon

The fact that so many people actually fell for it is worrying not just because reality itself has become satire but because this post should be painfully obvious. Ain't nobody marketing missiles to anyone who cares about the carbon footprint.

[โ€“] FatVegan@leminal.space 15 points 2 days ago

A lot of things are pretty normal today that would've been satire 10 years ago

[โ€“] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not going to lie. I believed it and thought 'wow between this and the knife missile that greatly reduces civilian casualties Rathiyon are probably most morally upstanding war profiteirs of our era'

now I am just disappointed

[โ€“] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 19 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The knife missile was actually kinda awesome in its own way tbh. Ridiculous precision for super long distance murder with as few casualties as possible.

It's also frightening that it exists.

[โ€“] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

the knife missile is so emblematic of the entire military industrial complex. can't stop engaging in unnecessary resource wars due to unnecessary casualties. instead, the military industrial complex will develop and sell a product to allow the killing of specific people in public spaces. and the more you think about the idea of being at a produce stand and someone standing next to you turning into a fine red mist, never to exist in physical space again, the more distopian it seems.

it reminds me of the episode of star trek where they encounter a planet that has eliminated war via coordinated computer simulations and voluntary genocides.

Knife missiles are real things?? Scary stuff. I'm about half way through the Culture series at the moment, never heard of them before..

[โ€“] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's the Hellfire AGM-114R-9X

A while back it was used to kill some dude without the other people in the same house being collateral damage, so it got meme status for a while.

[โ€“] MBech@feddit.dk 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Question. Are the knives really needed? I feel like getting hit with what is essentially a 5 foot long, 7 inch wide bullet, travelling at mach 1 would prove to be equally efficient at killing single targets, as strapping knives to it.

[โ€“] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 days ago

it reduces the risk of missing because the target bent over to pick up a quarter, or stepped to the side because they saw something interesting. the knives in question are basically swords that deploy radially from the missile body like an umbrella.

If we're going to have missiles, knife missiles are a good thing

"environmentally friendly radar system"

[โ€“] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

probably non-cancerous cooling sytsem or some shit like that, maybe lower RF emissions

Destroying aircraft seems like a very ecofriendly thing to do, same as killing humans

The important thing is to point them at the correct aircraft.

You're not going to beat the mosquito or rotavirus when it comes to environmentally friendly killers. Lethality, prodigious. Carbon footprint, minimal (small amount of flatulence, don't worry about it). This comment was sponsored by Gnawed VPN.

If you listen carefully you can hear them squeak one out occasionally.

Aircraft shot down over shallow waters can even turn into coral reefs! Wow!

And just think about all the thankful sea critters feasting on the bodies!

This reminds me of Jeremy Kauffman's ad, "War is Gay," which advocated for making militarism as gay as possible. The point is that militarism, or zabernism, is considered acceptable and even encouraged as long as DEI quotas are met within the military. https://youtu.be/kdfym6LKpQ0

Maybe the next iteration can have some seeds mixed in the payload to sprout little trees and plants over the wreckage.

[โ€“] some_kind_of_guy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I heard they're coming out with a new one that does have the seeds but they're all non-natives selected for maximum ecological impact. You win some, you lose some
