It’s satire. Original tweet was about an environmentally friendly radar system from Raytheon

The fact that so many people actually fell for it is worrying not just because reality itself has become satire but because this post should be painfully obvious. Ain’t nobody marketing missiles to anyone who cares about the carbon footprint.

A lot of things are pretty normal today that would’ve been satire 10 years ago

Not going to lie. I believed it and thought ‘wow between this and the knife missile that greatly reduces civilian casualties Rathiyon are probably most morally upstanding war profiteirs of our era’

now I am just disappointed

  The knife missile was actually kinda awesome in its own way tbh. Ridiculous precision for super long distance murder with as few casualties as possible.
  
  It’s also frightening that it exists.

    the knife missile is so emblematic of the entire military industrial complex. can’t stop engaging in unnecessary resource wars due to unnecessary casualties. instead, the military industrial complex will develop and sell a product to allow the killing of specific people in public spaces. and the more you think about the idea of being at a produce stand and someone standing next to you turning into a fine red mist, never to exist in physical space again, the more distopian it seems.
    
    it reminds me of the episode of star trek where they encounter a planet that has eliminated war via coordinated computer simulations and voluntary genocides.

    Knife missiles are real things?? Scary stuff. I’m about half way through the Culture series at the moment, never heard of them before…

    If we’re going to have missiles, knife missiles are a good thing
