Yes, it’s the cultural equivalent of pre recycling plastic waste. Someone else’s problem.
Well traditionally when America exports violence it’s called “FREEDOM!™”
“This circus better be enough to calm your woes, peasants, otherwise we have 40 metric tons of high explosive on stand by.”
We love to cheer the death machines don’t we
Better to put them on show than put them to use, but also yes there’s something vulgar in celebrating weapons.
Fine weapons of war augur evil.
Even things seem to hate them.
Therefore, a man of Tao does not set his heart upon them.What another has taught let me repeat:
“A man of violence will come to a violent end.”
Whoever said this can be my teacher and my father.To be fair the b1 lancer is pretty fascinating, most military equipment is pretty neat honestly. The use of it is the problematic part.
Its fascinating in the same way that a medieval torture device is fascinating
So we agree. Things can be neat and still have horrible purpose.
I’m partial to the rack, and it’s opposite, the Scavenger’s Daughter.

Violence is just a natural part of our world, even at the cellular level.
The entire, exclusive reason you exist is because we as a species chose non violence.
Just think about what you said. How does that make any sense? The reason we exist is because our ancestors chose violence. Name any place in the world that didn’t have to protect themselves with violence.
The reason the recent generations in developed countries have been protected from violence is from past violence, the threat of future violence, and current proxy violence.
Kinda sad that this is the world you live in. There is kindness out there. That is what makes us human .
I’m sorry, what? Living in reality is happiness. Pretending the world is what it is not is depressing because one day you’ll have to come to terms with reality and it’ll shatter you.
Explain to me how your country has come into existence and remains peaceful (assuming it’s peaceful) without violence.
I’m not saying peace doesn’t exist, but it’s yin and yang. The world isn’t flowers and rainbows and cannot possibly be that as our species currently exists today. If you believe that, then you are living in a bubble and willfully ignorant of human nature when peace or survival is threatened. Everything is violent when it has to be.
You have the privilege of being peaceful because of the threat of violence. We’re still just animals when it really comes down to it.
