To be fair, it’s something else than “made the fuck up” when they do provide a line of reasoning.
“Logic insists” is imo too strong of a formulation for that level of speculative reasoning, but it’s still not entirely made up, especially when they provide a reason why you’d have to be speculative about the subject.
I think for perfect fairness of discussion that last part would have to be challenged before attacking them speculating that harsh
Right, lack of evidence is evidence that they exist because wavy hands circumstances.
If I was a country, I would factor it into my threat model. I’d be remiss not to. But it would be on the level of “a satellite malfunctioned” as opposed to “all of our satellites have been deleted”.
I see where you’re coming from, but I still don’t think it’s likely personally.
It’s simply not worth it. We can already hit any target on earth with a nuclear strike without the added risks and complications that come from putting weapons in space. If you put these targets in space, and an enemy attacks them, globally humanity loses all access to space indefinitely.
That’s simply not worth it even just from a pure military perspective given the value to communications, navigation and intelligence that space access provides.
You fundamentally misunderstand Occams Razor. In the choice even between classified satellites and classified satellites with weapons, the former clearly has fewer presuppositions.
Show us evidence, until then it’s just a conspiracy theory.
hahaha… good one
Ok…? I’m open to being wrong about that, do you have any examples?

The last part being their misunderstanding of Occam’s razor?
No, the “if it were true we probs wouldn’t have evidence”- part

Oh man this is kinda tiring… Of course it’s not evidence. I’m trying to foster fair culture of discussion that’s all
After all, we’re trying to have a “better internet” in this niche community of lemmy, don’t we?

Suspicion is one thing, but acting like suspicion is fact is dangerous.
Facts need evidence.

Kk. I’ll do the same when it turns out the goldfish have slowly been taking over the whole world.
Why else would they be so quiet? Stands to reason, right? Something something razor.
So, you are saying wait for the evidence?

So you have no evidence. All you do is pull shit out of your ass to defend the one situation where we seem to have evidence.
If only there was a way to track objects in orbit, boosts with payloads, or maybe even look at them through a telescope…
I’m not saying you’re wrong, but you are wrong in believing it when there’s no evidence and plenty of ways to get it.
