If I am elected president, anyone who has ever claimed to be “building a better future for our children” will have their mouths smashed off with a rifle butt.
It’s satire. Original tweet was about an environmentally friendly radar system from Raytheon
The fact that so many people actually fell for it is worrying not just because reality itself has become satire but because this post should be painfully obvious. Ain’t nobody marketing missiles to anyone who cares about the carbon footprint.
A lot of things are pretty normal today that would’ve been satire 10 years ago
Not going to lie. I believed it and thought ‘wow between this and the knife missile that greatly reduces civilian casualties Rathiyon are probably most morally upstanding war profiteirs of our era’
now I am just disappointed
The knife missile was actually kinda awesome in its own way tbh. Ridiculous precision for super long distance murder with as few casualties as possible.
It’s also frightening that it exists.
the knife missile is so emblematic of the entire military industrial complex. can’t stop engaging in unnecessary resource wars due to unnecessary casualties. instead, the military industrial complex will develop and sell a product to allow the killing of specific people in public spaces. and the more you think about the idea of being at a produce stand and someone standing next to you turning into a fine red mist, never to exist in physical space again, the more distopian it seems.
it reminds me of the episode of star trek where they encounter a planet that has eliminated war via coordinated computer simulations and voluntary genocides.
Knife missiles are real things?? Scary stuff. I’m about half way through the Culture series at the moment, never heard of them before…
It’s the Hellfire AGM-114R-9X
A while back it was used to kill some dude without the other people in the same house being collateral damage, so it got meme status for a while.
Question. Are the knives really needed? I feel like getting hit with what is essentially a 5 foot long, 7 inch wide bullet, travelling at mach 1 would prove to be equally efficient at killing single targets, as strapping knives to it.
it reduces the risk of missing because the target bent over to pick up a quarter, or stepped to the side because they saw something interesting. the knives in question are basically swords that deploy radially from the missile body like an umbrella.
There have been times it’s been used against a whole carful of people, and cars are bigger than seven inches.
If we’re going to have missiles, knife missiles are a good thing
“environmentally friendly radar system”
so weather radar?
I just thought it was funny I didn’t think it was real.
Destroying aircraft seems like a very ecofriendly thing to do, same as killing humans

Humans are the major cause of environmental collapse.
To quote Carlin, “The earth doesn’t share our prejudice against plastic… The planet is fine. The people are fucked.”
As are other, non-human animals.

Moss probably doesn’t like plastic very much, Carlin was talking about the rock, not thin film on the surface
It’s so cool 😎🥰 You missed but it’s fine, you’ll never realise, I’ll work double as hard! Let’s be those who intervene instead of blaming and moaning bro!
Be positive now, okay:)?
humans are the major cause for human collapse. the environment will survive… mostly
Humans are animals, which are a part of the environment. The major cause of human and environmental collapse is a bunch of rich pieces of shit upholding a cruel, unsustainable system and leading you to believe that’s just ‘human nature’ & how things are and have always been.
yeah I mean this is essentially what I wanted to express here. Being an ecofascist makes no sense because you’d essentially be killing all the humans to protect the humans.

… and humans are also needed by a lot of domestic animals and plants. So it seems more comple… No it’s not, it’s capitalism. Kill capitalism, not beings
I love this! Here I’m understanding how a minimal mind works 🥰 Thanks for introducing me to the “outskirts” of using the brain, it’s great to get stuff!
Some specific humans
You don’t get it. I mean, you really² don’t get it.
We’re not something outside nature.
Correct, but we also have a disproportionate effect on the rest of nature.
Like yes, cancer is human cells, but that doesn’t diminish the damage they do to the rest of the human cells.
More importantly, it kills them when they’re old and already contributed most of their pollution and the cancer care also wastes lots of plastic and resources.
Cancer care doesn’t cause nearly as much waste and resources as elder care does, though. Smokers benefit the system because they die a decade or two early.
Money yes, but they’ve already reproduced and had most of their carbon emissions by that point. That’s a different metric.
Oh cool ecofascism
There won’t be any kind of fascism left once the last human is checked off.
The important thing is to point them at the correct aircraft.
But who is going to clean up the trash from the wreckage?
Aircraft shot down over shallow waters can even turn into coral reefs! Wow!
And just think about all the thankful sea critters feasting on the bodies!
What? The green revolution doesn’t deserve anti-aircraft capabily?
make a better future for the children of the world by blowing up half of it
You’re not going to beat the mosquito or rotavirus when it comes to environmentally friendly killers. Lethality, prodigious. Carbon footprint, minimal (small amount of flatulence, don’t worry about it). This comment was sponsored by Gnawed VPN.
Mosquitoes be fartin?
If you listen carefully you can hear them squeak one out occasionally.
Killing is good way to reduce your CO2 footprint
Bombs are not environmentally friendly.
Average person’s carbon footprint is 7 tons CO2 per year. Killing just one person will make a bomb environmentally friendly.
That’s actually a statistical error, Carbon Bezos is an outlier who should not have been counted.
Bombs from Raytheon are environmentally friendly. Making war environmentally friendly is what Raytheon is all about. Raytheon a green company! 👍🏽
But what if we made them so? 🤔
Carbon neutralized
Woke SAMs
Lefty nonsense
This reminds me of Jeremy Kauffman’s ad, “War is Gay,” which advocated for making militarism as gay as possible. The point is that militarism, or zabernism, is considered acceptable and even encouraged as long as DEI quotas are met within the military. https://youtu.be/kdfym6LKpQ0
Frutiger Anti-Aero
Maybe the next iteration can have some seeds mixed in the payload to sprout little trees and plants over the wreckage.
I heard they’re coming out with a new one that does have the seeds but they’re all non-natives selected for maximum ecological impact. You win some, you lose some
Greenwashing final boss?
Nothing will ever top “clean coal”.
Excuse me??
Is it blue?
