    I watched this video of non-secular figures addressing this very topic - probably 10+ years old. How even the advent of the modern day guns or even just the hand guns are just cruel. It was an interesting none the less.

    lol holy fuck I hope no one takes this seriously, because Vietnam was fucking hell for the soldiers. No one thought it was awesome except some conservative Nixon supporting fucks who didn’t care because they didn’t have their 16 year old get drafted.

    Do you want “Warhammer 40000: in the grim darkness of the future there is only war”?

    Because that is how you get “Warhammer 40000: in the grim darkness of the future there is only war”.

      There’s a lot of interesting idea in this paper, presented in a very strange way. The main idea is that drone warfare takes a lot of the masculinity (for example, courage in the face of death) out of warfare, and masculinity can be seen as one of the main concepts that drive war. The act of killing is no longer masculine in this context (like the meme shows) and this poses a big problem for the military. The paper takes a strange direction and implies that because it can’t be masculine, it might be queer (gay), and further that this queerness could be a positive opportunity for changing the discourse about war. It’s a cool idea that talking about drone warfare’s emasculation could change people’s minds about war, but the way that they used queerness as a concept to get there reads so bizarrely.

        I’ve had conversations with people who think that Medieval warfare was more honorable and better because of the hand to hand nature of it, and that guns ruined how badass it was.

        It also draws to mind the inventor of the machine gun Hiram Maxim’s idea that the machine gun would be so terrible that people would stop having wars.

        The reality is that war has always been the worst thing that can happen, and most people die of disease and indiscriminate weapons like artillery.

        It seems the strategy of making hell more hellish to stop the hell is a poor one.

        I was so taken out of it, I thought they may have just been using queer in the context of irregularity but then they hit me with “drones could give people gender anxiety” and I didn’t know where I was anymore lol

        It’s almost an interesting train of thought, but war isn’t inherently masculine, and I think it’s a pretty undeserving concept once you consider external factors that drive people to conflict. This feels like it views masculinity solely through the lens of what is more accurately described as toxic masculinity, where the image of maleness is based in some combatitive quantity.

        i’ve actually been thinking whether there could maybe be some kind of machine-wrestling. i.e. fights for show or competition or sth, similar to the olympic games, but purely involving machines. drones and such

    I do think its funny that people think the drone war future is one in which humans aren’t getting killed instead of where where humans can’t even fight back.

    Go watch ANY footage of the war in Ukraine and think about swarms of those drones working their way down your street, because that is what it looks like.

      The commercialization is what took out all the fun. You used to go to war over physical things like land or treasure, then it was ideology and now it’s just so the green line goes up. Lame af.

    Anyone who thinks America were the good guys in Vietnam is full on fucking stupid.

    America who faked an attack on themselves (Gulf of Tonkin incident) to get into a war, start loosing and so used chemical weapons and random attacks on women and children. Then continuing to lose Richard Nixon decided to extend the war crimes and deaths several years in order to run an illegal and undeclared war against Laos and Cambodia - allowing Pol Pot and the Kymer Rouge to get into power off the millitarism and anti-American sentiment the wars created.

    Eventually when the American media and students got angry enough and the war dead and massive extent of war crimes, and illegal actions of Nixon got too much, America finally decided to accept their losses and just leave. Leaving Pol Pot to commit his own extremist crimes against humanity.

    Ultimately Vietnam had to then go to war with their neighbors in order to stop Pol Pot’s war cimes and genocides.

    All because America was afraid of Socialism in a small Pacific Island nation.

    The fucking “good guys”.

    There is nothing funny about war, it’s actually really fucked up you’d even try to joke about it. This is really offensive and I’m upset about it. I can’t believe Lemmy would allow such evil content.
