Who cares at this point, they're doing evil, treat it as such

Military technology has got a near unlimited budget, that means you get tons of cool and technically impressive toys and things to work with

I enjoy watching the breakdowns of the most advanced weaponry and stuff like jet fighters (that we have access to information about), nuclear armaments, and other stuff like that, because they are very very impressive from an engineering perspective

But, of course, I really do strongly hate them for existing in terms of their actual purpose. It would be much cooler for similar engineering feats to be in use for civilian purposes. But I can't deny that they are amazing from a purely technical perspective

Well, then they have to face the consequences of not paying attention to the things happening in the place they intend to go to

Like, yeah, ideally you wouldn't need to worry about this, but this is always a risk when traveling, and politics has that trait of being interested in you whether or not you are interested in it back

Wayland is the new protocol and will be the one that everything uses in the long run

If Wayland works for you, then that's great, don't use X11

The main reason you'd want to use X11 these days is for compatibility. But that's getting less and less of a concern as time goes on

There's not going to be a next election at this rate.

You voted for fascism.

I think the allies did a pretty good thing by fighting fascism and the nazis

And then.... What is that money going to get used for, exactly?

That's the fucked up part in all of this. A government is much closer to something like a non-profit than it is to a business. Because, like, when you're a government and have a monetary surplus, what do you do with it? Of course you just wanna spend it!

I know the actual answer is "to give to the billionaires because apparently having enough money for 2000 uber-wealthy lifetimes is not enough" but you know

It really does feel like the beginning of the end

It's WW2, but with nuclear weapons and climate change on top, as you said

Yeah, memes such as this are propaganda, they build morale and inspire people towards a side

They have their place, if it weren't for stuff like that, you'd feel more alone with your thoughts

(And for the record, propaganda is a dirty word these days, but the literal definition of it is something that should be done, so long as it isn't rooted in lies. After all, the allies in WW2 did plenty of propaganda as well, and chances are you wouldn't call that a bad thing now)

In other words, literal time travel

Remember that a loooot of that goes to stuff like funding research, as that's the domain of universities beyond just education. I don't think it's unreasonable at all
