Guess you never heard of the great leap forward or Mao Zedong. He did a number on the chinese population.

More death threats?! What’s wrong with you?

So you get to call for people’s deaths you disagree with? Seems like you enjoy an authoritarian hellscape. I treated you with dignity and respect. I disagreed with you and tried to argue my point, but you don’t seem to respect my value as a human and you called for my extermination over a disagreement. How can you have such a flawed value system. You don’t value life at all if you’re so quick to call for death of people you disagree with.

Please see the attached graph showing the reduction of poverty under american hegemony thanks to american defense keeping trade open and no large state on state conflicts. Global birth rates have also been increasing rapidly. Thanks Lockheed martin for maintaining the peace.

You didn’t answer my question at all and are avoiding the horrible statement you made with a non sequitur. I will accept an apology from you if you make one.

National defense is a life and death affair. You know this. Then you wanted me dead for my opinion. I never wished you harm. You however want me dead. Would you like to retract those words?

So you don’t think national defense is a matter of life and death? You knew what you were saying calling for my death. Just admit that you can’t have a civilized discussion without calling for someone’s death.

Im advocating for a strong national defense aided by private enterprises. You wanted me dead. Big difference. Why do you send death threats?

Please point to where I advocated for death? I didn’t. You did. Specifically, my death. What compels you to want my death?

I didn’t say that. I was pointing out flaws to your position and hoping to change your mind. You however, went straight to my death, which is uncalled for and little scary. Why do you feel the need wish people death?

You just hoped that was on the receiving end of a lethal defense weapon. That’s no assumption. That’s a death threat.

Is this a death threat?

My responses are to show the logical conclusions to your asine statements that make no sense.

Yes. I believe arms manufacturers must exist. How else does a people defend themselves? Strongly worded letters?

You think the state should have a monopoly on defense production? That’s a recipe for stagnation and disaster.

I glad you don’t own “queer” because your purity test is ridiculous. Let these people be. If they want to March in pride with Lockheed flag, let them do it. They aren’t hurting anyone.

You should be thanking Lockheed marting for helping to provide the very freedom you are using to bitch.

So democracy is to blame? Get the fuck off your high horse. Is absolute idealism is unrealistic and frankly childish. Go graduate college and get back to me.

That’s fine. They manufacture the top of line defense products. The government decides when they should be used. Those products work and keep Americans safe when used properly. The ethical use of them falls on our elected leaders, which is the way it should be.

Wow. It is more unethical to not manufacture weapons leaving your society completely defenseless. Don’t know what planet you live on , but bad people exist and they seek to do harm and must be stopped with weapons. You can’t tell them to go away with rainbows and lollipops like you seem to think.

So only the American government can sell Lockheed martin arms? Then the corporation is no longer liable for any harm their weapons cause since they have no power or agency in how they are used. Are you really sure you know your position here?

So corporations backed by tax dollars get to sell to anyone?

Weapons can be used for liberation or oppression at the same time. Lockheed doesn’t get to say who they sell to.

Lockheed martin makes HIMARS. HIMARS is saving ukraine lives. That’s a good thing.
