  • I mean yes, I love airshows, but there's something about a mass celebration of these machines of death where a crowd gathered for a completely unrelated purpose gets to see the last thing an afghan child at a wedding sees gives ick in a way that normal airshows, even with all the military recruitment and propaganda don't.

    It doesn't even apply to all flyovers, sometimes it's like F-14s or Chinooks or WWII era planes where the message isn't so dark.

  • Does anyone else also fly bombers and fighter jets over stadiums at the start of a game? Do you take 2-5 minutes to honor some guys in the military during half time?

  • A cubic centimeter is ~150th of a modern nuclear weapon's core. U-235 production accounts for every single gram, plutonium is even stricter.

  • I literally listed countries where you wouldn't be meaningfully contributing to the system.

  • Periphery countries still contribute to the system; the US doesn't have military bases in most of those countries by happenstance, but because keeping them in that position benefits the bourgeoisie.

    To be clear, the answer isn't to say everything is futile and hopeless, it's to participate in organizations which don't contribute to the system and build duel power within these countries, or just move to non-capitalist countries.

  • stop working for those billionaires

    There is only a few countries you can move to that allows you to not contribute to those billionaires.

    I'm not saying that fleeing the US isn't a good idea.

  • That’s money (ideally) used to benefit everyone.

    Not really; the federal government prints money; they don't tax you to fund programs, they tax you to reduce the monetary supply.

    State governments do have to be funded though.

  • I am not talking about taxes, I am talking about the profit the capitalists make off your labor. The trillion dollar media empire OP is talking about, Fox News, CNN, Reddit, twitter, etc aren't funded by your taxes, though they are subservient to the state department.

  • Is it?

  • Not to say that dodging federal taxes isn't either good or neutral, but the problem isn't specific to this administration.

    Where are you living that the wealth you create doesn't end up in the hands of billionaires who then spend it on propaganda to convince you and others that that is just?

    Cuba? Vietnam? Laos? China?

  • If you're working for a wage while they reap the profit or subject to market forces they dictate, they're taking your money.

  • During the F-47 announcement, Trump straight up suggested that if they export it, it should be "10% worse".

    Which is funny because the US already does that with military exports; when the US sells Taiwan, Australia, or Ukraine an Abrams tank, they switch out the DU armor for something much weaker.

  • Do you understand that you are cheering for the total destruction of an island with millions of people?

    I'd explain the history and actual politics, and why it's hilarious to refer to the PRC as fascist in comparison to the RoC, but none of that shit matters next to how gross it is to call for the deaths of foreigners from half way around the world.

    The KMT isn't great, but status quo is infinitely better than having America turn your country into another Ukraine or Afghanistan.

  • Tesla Fans Furious at Video of Tesla Crashing Into Wall Painted Like Road

  • Back in like 2016, a huge part of the grift was that Tesla was a tech company and their system would get smarter forever as it got more data.

    Using an expensive sensor that can just detect objects instead of relying on computer vision and machine learning is kinda like an admission of failure.
