      To be fair the b1 lancer is pretty fascinating, most military equipment is pretty neat honestly. The use of it is the problematic part.

        Its fascinating in the same way that a medieval torture device is fascinating

          So we agree. Things can be neat and still have horrible purpose.

            I’m partial to the rack, and it’s opposite, the Scavenger’s Daughter.

      Better to put them on show than put them to use, but also yes there’s something vulgar in celebrating weapons.

      Fine weapons of war augur evil.
      Even things seem to hate them.
      Therefore, a man of Tao does not set his heart upon them.

      Tao The Ching #31

      What another has taught let me repeat:
      “A man of violence will come to a violent end.”
      Whoever said this can be my teacher and my father.

    Well traditionally when America exports violence it’s called “FREEDOM!™”

    Violence is just a natural part of our world, even at the cellular level.

      The entire, exclusive reason you exist is because we as a species chose non violence.

        Just think about what you said. How does that make any sense? The reason we exist is because our ancestors chose violence. Name any place in the world that didn’t have to protect themselves with violence.

        The reason the recent generations in developed countries have been protected from violence is from past violence, the threat of future violence, and current proxy violence.

    Yes, it’s the cultural equivalent of pre recycling plastic waste. Someone else’s problem.
