      I was thinking about stuff like those helicopters that crash constantly, the way so much of the US military is in disrepair, from that thread recently. It was just meant as a jab about how the US military is an inefficient machine that exists for profit, not winning wars. I guess that’s not “mass death” though, more like bombers and drones. Sorry.

      I dunno if it’s DOIN A FASCISM to acknowledge given that the US is a country that’s party to genocide and so much more whose genocidaires are senile old men and big wet reality TV personalities, but y’know…

      The weapons of the Amerikkkan military are extremely good at killing people and at generating shareholder value. They are not very good at achieving strategic objectives like opening straits or winning wars.
