I Didn't understand what really went on till well into my 20s. And I had to go looking for it.

I was very anti nuke back then, now, not so much,.

I was lucky, when I was at school they still taught history propery

properly* damn cant type

I think thats part of it.

We were taught about Nazis and wwII but not what happened after. We were taught about slavery and nothing else about the states.

i think the biggest risk is just bais

I think I can look back at school and judge it by what they choose not to teach us.

schools love to teach about the Nazi's but seem to avoid the commies like the plauge

like you said about your friend watching a typhoon fly over

getting some complex about it isn't helpful

yep.

its ofc important to admit how wrong it is but if the story ends there then you aren't doing the story justice

This goes back to defence/offence. We are not making these things to kill people, we are making them to protect people.

IT doesn't stop them from being designed to kill people.

if we speak on the makers point, its not even that they just love tech, and out-teching others. not even any malice there lol

Not true.

I watched a doc where the woman disigning bombs had grown up in a war zone and said she got into engineering to make the weapons that kill the people that terrorised her as a child.

wernher von braun literally only wanted to go to space

is what i mean

He missed

both the A6M and the Stukas lead engineers were devout pacificist, and in stukas case was jewish (lmao)

Spitfires creator originally drew a land speed plane and stayed alive because his country was under threat, Messershmidt wanted to beat him

it wasn't I WANT TO MURDER HUR DUR LET ME DO SOME CALCULUS TO KILL MORE

I think most scientists have a knack for removing what they are doing from real life. As long as they get to do the research.

*as long as they get to do the research*

ya what is that based in

we can definitely say its based in hierchys (drunk fuck spelling), but i haven't yet found a engineer who literally created what they could just for the sake of destruction

even if destruction was literally its end goal

yeah, I'm going to agree with one.

poppy you are nice lad why are we fighting

we should engineer some nice ass turbines and study the art of ECM together

uwu

Coz arguing is fun. It keeps you sharp and you learn about other people. Thats why I don't call you a murderer and you don't call me cuck. I

I Don't know what ECM but I'm happy to be taught 😏

@Poppy Rider i meant not ecm sorry

ACM

air combat maneuvers

Right, I'm with ya.

the last bastion of the sword fighter tbh, even if we look on it in 2020 with all our tech as a dead-art just as sword fighting was
