Picture shows a pride parade. A group of people are carrying a banner that says “LOCKHEED MARTIN” over a rainbow graphic.

    Bold of you to assume that there’s no cause-effect relation between what Lockheed-Martin execs deem profitable, and whatever policy the US takes. Lobbying is a thing, and the same investors that put money in military conglomerates, put money into lobbying and into media. If you can’t see how the existence of powerful capitalist companies that make weapons is detrimental to a democracy, I don’t know what to tell you.

    What’s this bullshit? Now we can’t criticise the military conglomerates because “they’re just companies doing company things”? Nah fuck that and fuck Lockheed Martin, selling weapons to an imperialist government makes you as bad as the imperialist government.
