There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.

Comment on Uno what really happened
kautau@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoThe thing that is entirely possible coming out of this is a boon for PMC companies getting hired for far more visible corporate security. Hotels and roads shut down for CEOs as if they are heads of state. I guess it was inevitable and cyberpunk really is just life imitating art

I’m not gonna tell you how to do your job

Nah, Ukraine has already shown the world how regular consumer grade drones can be used as very effective military grade weapons. No need for a roadside IED when you can fly the IED right to their face.

Yeah the second amendment crowd is about to go hard on drones to ensure their saviors remain safe. Weird how they are the first ones in line at school shootings about how guns aren’t the problem but their being pretty quiet about a dude shooting a guy across the street using a silenced pistol

Fwiw I’m a gun guy who supports common sense legislation and whatever it is we are talking about here ;) not defending corpos that’s for fucking sure. V for vendetta becoming a history movie would be fine with me. Also duck uvalde cops and republicans who say “now is not the time to discuss gun laws”
