  • And yet you won’t respond to the comment that points out that this awesome plane that only works a third of the time cost 7 times more than the entire fucking Apollo program from start to finish.

    It was a grift.

    A scam.

    A con.

    The sole purpose of that plane is to steal the money that you work for and pay taxes on and give it to rich people.

    That’s it.

    That’s what you are defending.

    The largest scam probably in human history.

    The F-35 program has so far cost us 7 times (adjusted for inflation) what it cost us to go to the fucking moon for a plane that only works 30 percent of the time.

    You don’t need to be a ‘tankie’ (a word I doubt you could define) to recognize that that is a ripoff.

    Capitalists should be furious about this obvious fucking grift to funnel tax payer money to the board members of defense companies.

    I’m white. By the time I was 18 I was held at gun point 3 times by the police

    None of those times was I doing anything dangerous or illegal.

    I also turned 18 around the turn of the millennium, before policing became so militarized.

    You have no idea how violent and bad American police have become if you don’t live here.
