Be rule do warcrimes - eviltoast

Picture shows a pride parade. A group of people are carrying a banner that says “LOCKHEED MARTIN” over a rainbow graphic.

    Don’t know what planet you live on , but bad people exist

    And Lockheed Martin is giving them weapons, yes.

      So democracy is to blame? Get the fuck off your high horse. Is absolute idealism is unrealistic and frankly childish. Go graduate college and get back to me.

        Again, absolutely bizarre takes. Just incredible how completely unrelated these responses are to anything I’m saying or any coherent line of thought.

        You’re treating it as if Lockheed Martin just, inherently ought to exist, that it would be impossible for them not to exist. They do not.

        Since you seem to be struggling to understand how that could possibly be, I’ll tell you: nationalization. The government should seize control of all assets belonging to Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Boeing (ideally, the CEOs and upper management should be deported to Afghanistan to face justice), no one should be able to make a profit from it (aside from wages), they should not be able to have lobbyists, and there should be no ability to go from war profiteer to policy maker deciding what wars to start or vice versa.

        But if you want to lick the boots of warmongers who cause bloodshed for the sake of corporate profits, I guess I can’t stop you. But what I can say is that, as a queer person, I completely reject their performative “support” and have no desire to be associated with them in any way, and that they can take their pride flags and shove them up their ass.

          My responses are to show the logical conclusions to your asine statements that make no sense.

          Yes. I believe arms manufacturers must exist. How else does a people defend themselves? Strongly worded letters?

          You think the state should have a monopoly on defense production? That’s a recipe for stagnation and disaster.

          I glad you don’t own “queer” because your purity test is ridiculous. Let these people be. If they want to March in pride with Lockheed flag, let them do it. They aren’t hurting anyone.

          You should be thanking Lockheed marting for helping to provide the very freedom you are using to bitch.

            I sincerely hope that you one day find yourself on the receiving end of what you support.
