I recommend fixing the government ordering the warships instead of blaming the private companies who just make what is in demand.

I never worked on the warships, but the shipyard built them. I worked on building other vessels.

And I am not saying it’s not a valid target. I’m saying I am a civilian. That’s my whole point. The people working at these targets you just admitted to ARE CIVILIANS.

The worst thing to happen in war was making it “nicer”.

Since it’s no longer quite so brutal, the people involved may not necessarily even care.

You think that if Americans weren’t seeing their homes destroyed for supporting a war of conquest, that more of us would stop supporting the endless wars pushed by our politicians?

And don’t even try that “oh it’s the Retardicans doing it” when plenty of Dumbocrats have bombed other nations in the name of “peace” fucking hypocrites.

Excuse me??? I worked for a private shipyard, so did my dad, that shipyard was also contracted to build naval ships.

I have never, not once, been in the military.

That is the literal definition of a civilian.

Who do think works at munitions factories, and shipyards, and aircraft manufacturing plants if not civilians?

Civilians and their property have been targets in war for centuries if not millennia. This is nothing new, and it’s absolutely a valid way to end a war against a nation that is even marginally democratic.

If the people electing the leaders don’t support the war, then, in theory, the war will end.

It worked for Vietnam. There was finally enough pushback from the people that not only did the US pull it’s troops, but there was an anti war sentiment across the entire nation for at least a decade beyond it.

This is why there’s so much propaganda against our “enemies” these days, to ensure that the people keep seeing them as enemies and not as people.

China is just sitting back, quietly developing their own domestic ddr4 and ddr5 sources.

But don’t worry folks. The us federal government is gonna save us all like they always do…

What I find interesting is that the authoritarian right complains about the authoritarian left using “big government” to bully their favorite businesses and organizations, and loving the police, while the authoritarian left complains about the authoritarian right using the police to do the same, while loving bigger and bigger government…

It’s like neither side realize that the police are PART OF THAT GOVERNMENT!

That type of thinking is no different than the christians who believe that unless everyone else believes as they do then they ALL go to hell.

That ype of “enforced community” bullshit is exactly that. Bullshit.

People spend way too much of their time worrying about everyone else. Yes, helping when you can is a good thing.

You, however, are the one professing all the doom here. If not everyone believes the right things then we are all doomed.

Except who decides what those right things are, and what will happen when you teach society to think in that way, and then some demagogue takes control, and decides to subtly start changing what those right thoughts are?

Why, you get what we’re going through right now, don’t you…

So no, group think is never a good idea even if the thoughts are the “right” ones.

Then let them. What does it matter to you? People are allowed to be complete morons if they wish.

You can’t use logic to talk someone out of a position they didn’t use logic to decide on in the first place.

Those kinds of people should get nothing but scorn from the rest of us. No conversation, no attempting to change their minds.

Just pure, unadulterated scorn and derision. Nothing else. Fucking morons aren’t useful for anything other than diluting the gene pool anyway.
