like, say, for instance, Lockheed Martin (just a cartoonishly easy example, chosen at random)
if you did the work before realizing it was evil, that’s one thing, but doing the work once you know better?
:what-the-hell:
“no ethical consumption” doesn’t mean you can murder kids, you goddamn psychopath
Weapon makers throughout history have also often believed that they are preventing deaths because better weapons will kill fewer people (either because the weapons will be so horrific that they will be a deterrent or because they will be so foolproof that casualties will be minimized). This has pretty much always turned out to be wrong.
Which is hilarious because there's another person on Twitter has worked on drone design and research that has been defending the Lockheed sm0l bean. Some of the older tweets from this person talk about how there's a need for drones so that we can reduce casualties. This person is also radlib and presents a progressive picture of themselves. These are deeply unserious people and it's a disservice to not just queer people, but people in general in the global south
For fucking whom?!
For America! You know, the good guys! :so-true:
That's just Jevons paradox with weapons instead of resource consumption.
