I have a sort of meme version of this read by glados saved on my phone lol
In other news, Monsanto was ranked as #1 trans friendly workplace before it got acquired by Bayer.
I guess when we’ve banned all the books, we can start blaming GMOs for all the femboy smut on the internet?

I mean… missiles are the most direct ‘degrowth’ implementation I’ve seen.
😬
If you’re an engineer working for the military industrial complex they don’t really care who you are so long as your soul has that price tag. And I know a decent portion of the people doing it feel guilty and try to mentally minimize the damage it does.

I don’t think that’s actually real.
Also a fun fact: Sea Sparrows are some of the missiles used in Ukraine for air defense right now. They’re launching then from Soviet land-based anti-aircraft vehicles somehow.

Thought it was a European sparrow rather than a north American.
Little faster due to a lower unladen weight.
Are you suggesting anti-air missiles migrate?
All I’m saying is, it’s not a matter of fuel efficiency, it’s a simple matter of weight ratios. A one ton missile cannot be manufactured and deployed without a comparably sized carbon footprint.
I have not done this but: literally search the post word for word. Weird to just throw out “I don’t think this is real” like we’re in the woods in 1945 and a plane accidentally dropped a ream of newspapers saying the Nazis surrendered.
Before I replied, I did do a search for the post word for word and I found people saying that it isn’t real and no evidence that it is real. That’s what made me think it isn’t actually real.
They were completely in the wrong to lash out at you in this case, but damn:
like we’re in the woods in 1945 and a plane accidentally dropped a ream of newspapers saying the Nazis surrendered
This comparison is savage and might be useful in the right situation. I’m gonna add it to my collection.
You looked it up and lots of people agreed on what they consider reality? Sounds like a conspiracy…
I searched for this tweet and did not find it. All I find is reddit Behind the Bastard posts that find it funny, but many say it is not real. What a suprise. Not.
Might as well post here where it originated. OP made it and attempted to flair it as satire. https://www.reddit.com/r/COMPLETEANARCHY/comments/pfivtm/raytheon_is_for_the_children/
Raytheon, I don’t think you can greenwash weapon manufacturing.
For every person you kill we plant a tree. It’s both good for the environment and a very visible kill count.
You could argue that just killing people is statistically good for the planet.
And if it takes out a plane, that’s pretty effective, too!
No, because that one is going to get replaced with a new one burning the same amount of fuel. So basically flying one plane for 20 years is better than 2 planes over 20 years where one of them went to junk early.

its anti air missiles. Its for good.
Yeah, the air has greenhouse gasses and what do they make? Anti AIR missiles! Kablammo greenhouse gasses!
Hey capitalism, how’s it going?
…yeah
What, does it only target LearJet and Gulfstream private aircraft?
I’d be okay with that. How do we implement that?
Right now they seem to be targeting mostly Russians, making Ukraine’s environment better I guess
You can read this in Robert Evans’ voice and it’s just as sarcastic as anything he’s said about them
Bob Evans?
Host of the podcast Behind the Bastards.
“And you know what else hosts the podcast?”
Wendy?
IHOP so
Nah, BTB is sponsored by the products and services made and provided by Raytheon, Robert has said so many times on the pod
What a bastard.
Especially the knife missle. Raytheon…when you need a missle and a knife.
Goods and services from our friends at Raytheon?
To be fair, people and airplanes are very bad for the environment.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a tactical nuke was a net positive for the environment.
A nuke destroys whole ecosystems…
Plenty of things will survive it, and the removal of the humans in the area may be a net positive.
Chernobyl is doing pretty well now that it’s completely uninhabitable by humans…
So do we… at least the nuke stops killing new things after a bit.
Define “a bit”, please
Few months/years. The radioactive isotopes created in the explosion have a short half life. Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki are thriving cities today.
Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki are thriving cities today.
That contradicts the whole point that a nuke will destroy humans but leave the environment intact. A bomb of any kind destroys ecosystems. If humans reclaim the cities, it’s not a “net positive” for the environment, despite the cynicism that’s in the statement.
“Land back” is a much better approach since land under indigenous jurisdiction has much more biodiversity than average and especially than bombed land.
Perhaps 1 minute?
Humans do that too https://youtu.be/bmVGwOP_zi8?si=lobEy6mBiIRCVmoL
ಠ_ಠ wtf did I just read?
I do believe it says the sea sparrow is the most environmentally friendly anti-air missile.
Ah! Thanks.
I bet it generates a lot of carbon when used though :(
But think of the jet emissions reduction it leads to!
I hate that this isn’t a meme.
Ed: lolol 300+ mindless upvotes and the poster is the sub mod. Awesome.
Why do communities exist if people are going to dump everything in one place and are rewarded for doing so?
It’s a meme insofar as the definition of
an element of a culture or system of behavior passed from one individual to another by imitation or other nongenetic means.
Information is one of the elements. This is information and it is being passed around by non genetic means.
If you’re going to be unfriendly to people, the least you can do is be friendly to the ecosystem.
Well weapons are going to be made and used anyway, it’s better if they’re environmentally friendlier I suppose
`Frank, the new CEO had to answer to the board.
The board was getting anxious, and the shareholders were
on a bed, legs in air, ass-cheeks open wide
They were about to get fucked like it was their first time.
When one makes 20 million, ten thousand people lose.
What keeps that one from swallowing a shotgun?
Dan, the company man, felt loyalty to the corp.
After 16 years of service, and a family to support
He actually started to believe
the weaponry and chemicals were for national defense.
'Cause Danny had a mortgage, and a boss to answer to.
The guilty don’t feel guilty, they learn not to.
Helen is living in her car, trying to feed her kids.
She got laid off at work, and her house was repossessed.
It’s hard to think clearly when it’s 38 degrees.
Desperate people have been known to render desperate deeds.
But when she shot that family and moved into their home,
The paper read she suffered from dementia.`

I’m calling bullshit. The Internet Archive snapshot for the RaytheonTech Twitter page on 2021-09-07 does not show this tweet between tweets dated 2023-08-19 and 2023-09-01.
Maybe they are going to start shooting down billionaires’ jets?
