Raytheon, I don't think you can greenwash weapon manufacturing.

For every person you kill we plant a tree. It's both good for the environment and a very visible kill count.

[–] Liz@midwest.social 13 points 2 years ago

You could argue that just killing people is statistically good for the planet.

Hey capitalism, how's it going?

What, does it only target LearJet and Gulfstream private aircraft?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'd be okay with that. How do we implement that?

You can read this in Robert Evans' voice and it's just as sarcastic as anything he's said about them

I do believe it says the sea sparrow is the most environmentally friendly anti-air missile.

[–] 420stalin69@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

For every missile fired we will plant a fucking tree

To be fair, people and airplanes are very bad for the environment.

I wouldn't be surprised if a tactical nuke was a net positive for the environment.

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago (4 children)

A nuke destroys whole ecosystems...

[–] hex_m_hell@slrpnk.net 11 points 2 years ago

Chernobyl is doing pretty well now that it's completely uninhabitable by humans...

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Plenty of things will survive it, and the removal of the humans in the area may be a net positive.

[–] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (4 children)

So do we... at least the nuke stops killing new things after a bit.

Most environmentally friendly anti-air missile

Oh cool, they're gonna start launching them at private jets?

I'd hate to leave the children we kill a polluted earth behind.

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

They’re anti-aircraft missiles. Aircraft cause a lot of emissions so it’s best they are shot down. Bonus using a green missile

[–] walter_wiggles@lemmy.nz 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I bet it generates a lot of carbon when used though :(

[–] Raxiel@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

But think of the jet emissions reduction it leads to!

If you're going to be unfriendly to people, the least you can do is be friendly to the ecosystem.

Is this real?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Well weapons are going to be made and used anyway, it's better if they're environmentally friendlier I suppose

`Frank, the new CEO had to answer to the board.

The board was getting anxious, and the shareholders were

on a bed, legs in air, ass-cheeks open wide

They were about to get fucked like it was their first time.

When one makes 20 million, ten thousand people lose.

What keeps that one from swallowing a shotgun?

Dan, the company man, felt loyalty to the corp.

After 16 years of service, and a family to support

He actually started to believe

the weaponry and chemicals were for national defense.

'Cause Danny had a mortgage, and a boss to answer to.

The guilty don't feel guilty, they learn not to.

Helen is living in her car, trying to feed her kids.

She got laid off at work, and her house was repossessed.

It's hard to think clearly when it's 38 degrees.

Desperate people have been known to render desperate deeds.

But when she shot that family and moved into their home,

The paper read she suffered from dementia.`
