ukraine is using cardboard rc planes with bombs inside to take out parked russian fighter jets. they’re supplied by some australian company and cost only like 5k AUS. the western military industrial complex is completely taken aback that a useful weapon can be that cheap. amazing ukranian ingenuity! they say
@Moon the reporting on it is pretty hilarious though. and the comments are like "well we don't have to do things like this because we have money so we should use it" there's a huge blind spot here and i love it.
in academia funding is an obstacle to doing the research, not the motivation. you actually can have motivations other than profit motive. wild concept i know.
@condret@Moon the point is the limiting factor is resources not motivation. the history of capitalism is full of shitbags holding back progress in the name of petty greed. colonization set the world back by hundreds of years and then claims to have this magical innovative capitalism thing that "proves them right" about their delusions of racial superiority.
i'm not worried about what comes after capitalism, i'm concerned with killing it proper.
@Moon it kinda sounds like white people are whining because they aren't the target audience, to be honest. i was under the impression that most people liked it.
@thatguyoverthere@tost@Moon moon already explained that part. the two party system is an intrinsic part of the design. its not literally spelled out, but its the most probable and consistent outcome of the way elections work as described in the document.
