Edit: This seems to have attracted a few eco-fashs :/
kinda like using a swab to clean the spot where the needle goes… before giving someone the lethal injection on death row.
Imma reuse my joke from last time this was posted:
The Green Revolution deserve AA capability, too!
I’m sure it’s not even green in any meaningful sense but just slightly greener than the others (if that’s even true). Not that that would really make a difference either way.
Well I guess all the people they kill can’t contribute to any emissions
Gotta kill billionaires then. Blowing up poor people is highly inefficient.
Well the missle being advertised is an AA missle and the rich spend lots of time jet setting so…
But who’s going to fund all the killing then? It’s more efficient to keep your stream of income alive.
That’s a grimly salient point. I wonder how long it will take to advertise them as carbon-negative.
Well hello, Mr. Malthus.
Well hello, finite resources.
On top of the other obvious complaints, I think that nobody in their right mind would compromise the performance of an antiaircraft missile to make it relatively less polluting.
If you ride the subway in Washington DC there are posters advertising anti-aircraft systems and other military contract products right next to the ads for car insurance and chewing gum and it’s so fucking weird.
Wait fr? Thats a normal thing in the USA?
in and around the central hub for all us lobbyists and politicians it is.
Theres a comment saying “jokingly” the killing of people reduce emission. First of all, this is eco fascism because although Im sure it is not intentional; A joke forwards an attitude. It is a sightsteer.
This sightsteer takes on consumerist approach to climate action. However it is important to note that it is might and machine that is poisoning our world, not people. We should put responsibility where it belongs. That way we can plan for actual change, instead of symbolic change.
this can’t be real, dear lord in heaven it cant be real, can it ?
They left out the best part: it’s operated by women and children, we finally ended the patriarchy
Does Iran get a carbon credit for each dead schoolgirl?
No, just for the child soldiers.
Honestly, I know a few jets it could hit, but I don’t think it’s a good way to a solarpunk future.
FPV drones are cheaper :>
“Yeah, we kill civilians in droves but at least we’re eco friendly about it.”
The marketing speak, tho. I think that angers me the most. More eco friendly than something that has zero measurable levels of eco friendly, is a low bar. It’s like saying asbestos is more eco friendly than coal carbon emissions, so therefore asbestos is eco friendly and should be celebrated. Theres zero good to their argument.

They’re not wrong
Nah, get out of here with the eco fascist rhetoric.
No
