Bonus:

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

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

What kind of bio is β€œmaking 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.

Half the parts, half the production cost, and 95% less production tools means…

β€œβ€¦that when we continue to charge $1,000,000 for each one, our profit margins will be way higher!”

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.

I don’t even try to make money off weapons production, that would take away valuable resources from our brave defenders of democracy. Instead I donate directly to Raytheon and Boeing, get a tax refund from that and then donate the tax refund to Palantir

A bit of a side tract, but ffs how shitty it is that these ghouls have just taken all these words and names from lotr and use them in their imperialism to make it sound cool and good actually. Our poor good western world just fighting againts the dark lords of the world, just like Aragorn. It is nauseating because it is so deeply disingenious (unless these people believe in their own bullshit).

Well, they ran out of all the cool names from the Cowboy universe like Apache and Tomahawk.

an underappreciated milestone of the modern era is when the settler-colonialists ran out of frontier and had to start naming their weapons and technology after fictional genocides

Because these people think of the world in terms of LOTR just like liberals think in terms of Harry Potter

I think Palantir would piss him off the most. A spy company named after the evil mind destroying crystal balls that Sauron used to subvert Gondor and hurt Pippin?
