Bonus:

The smol bean heckin democracy puppers need autonomous death robots to protect themselves from scary authoritarians 🥰 Also, bad wars is unacceptable, you need to vote to make sure we get good wars!

On one hand, unimaginable destruction of human life, on the other, lower taxes. I’m torn 🤔

    What kind of bio is “making the world a different place”?

    Like people tend to want to make it better no? Scorching it with nuclear hellfire is different. I can make the world a better place by shooting him in the head

      But also, throwing shit tons of money at the military industrial complex is the exact opposite of different. That’s about as status quo as it gets in DC.

    I love war profiteering, actually. If you think about it, making money off of war (unfathomable human suffering) is the only moral way to profit.

    The truth is simple and undeniable: it’s your fault this war is happening. Not only is it your fault it’s happening, it’s your fault we’re losing! I’m just making the autonomous death robots because you voted WROOOOONG, good luck next time, chump!

    Also, I love killing people. It helps me sleep at night.

    There’s also a trend of these guys just giving up on PR and directly coming out and saying the quiet part as loud as they’y can. I think they’re all just following in Musk’s footsteps and he’s beginning to feel the brain rot from the hairplugs

      When the better humans that claimed they just wanted all humans to be better humans for the sake of the human community get tired of saying that bullshit and just want to giggle while inflicting death and suffering through delegated means.

    The second bit with Mr. Nomad is much more infuriating to me than Luckey. Luckey is a ghoul but it’s typical ghoul shit: war machines, American exceptionalism, justified the two with the “threat” of Russia and China even though they’ll be inevitably used against “underdeveloped” nations no where near superpower status (which has a domestic equivalent in the creeping security state justified with the threat of terrorism but overwhelmingly used for the war on drugs).

    Nomad, on the other hand, how willfully ignorant do you need to be to think efficiencies in the military industrial complex would lead to reduced government spending? When has that ever lead to anything other than more spending? This is the most brainworms part of libertarians, they simultaneously think capitalists are good for putting the profit motive above all else but then also think “good” capitalists follow this morality play version of capitalism with all these rules that go against the profit motive.

    Techbros truly are a bunch of giggling ghouls that revel in the suffering of others while putting on the airs of quirky “fluent in sarcastic” Redditors.

    I hate them so much.
