The F-35 program has so far cost is 7 (adjusted for inflation) times what it cost us to go to the fucking moon for a plane that only works 30 percent of the time.
You don’t need to be a ‘tankie’ (a word I doubt you could define) to recognize that that is a ripoff.
Capitalists should be furious about this obvious fucking grift to funnel tax payer money to the board members of defense companies.
So… By this logic, slave uprisings are always morally wrong, and will always fail?
People who oppress are happy to murder to maintain their hold on power, and won’t give up power without a fight.
How do you expect to take it from them?
Why is reddit cracking down on mods? Aren’t those free anyways? No piracy required?
You got called out for being a Nazi.
right back at you pal. Go ahead and throw your temper tantrum, but know that come 2028
won’t happen. you guys seriously don’t fucking get it do you? I can’t even imagine being so shortsighted that I can’t even see what the fuck is happening in the next six weeks.
either way, start acting like you’re in a coalition, because thats reality whether you like it or not.
I’ve always, ALWAYS, held firm that the US should be a protector of the disenfranchised or unprotected. after this election I realized I was wrong.
We don’t have to do anything of the sort. My charity is empty. My sympathy is gone. At this point, I’m focused 100% on fixing America and American interests.
If people in some far off land have to die so that we can give LGBTQA+ people a place to feel safe so be it.
If non-Americans have to die to protect the interests that empower America so that my kids can grow up in prosperity I will vote to kill them every single time now.
Make no mistake, it’s not out of a sense of national pride. it’s not from a source of hatred or prejudice. I will protect my national interests because I have been given no other choice but to impose American authority because American ideals are being eroded and attacked by those who beg for help.
you’re drowning in a sea of hatred, and I refuse to let you take me with you.
I don’t hate you, I just don’t care about you unless you’re American or support American interests.
It was so bad that the mod, someone I would personally describe as a right wing Democrat, was pointing out that it was fascist speech.
You did say:
“If non-Americans have to die to protect the interests that empower America so that my kids can grow up in prosperity I will vote to kill them every single time now.”
To which I respond “Well, if the jack-boot fits…”
If you don’t want to be called a Nazi, you need to stop making fascist statements and this quote is LITERALLY fascist.
You also weren’t trolling. That is a hilarious after the fact ego preserving rationalization.
And yet you won’t respond to the comment that points out that this awesome plane that only works a third of the time cost 7 times more than the entire fucking Apollo program from start to finish.
It was a grift.
A scam.
A con.
The sole purpose of that plane is to steal the money that you work for and pay taxes on and give it to rich people.
That’s it.
That’s what you are defending.
The largest scam probably in human history.
