Is this a death threat?
That's an interesting assumption.
You just hoped that was on the receiving end of a lethal defense weapon. That's no assumption. That's a death threat.
Well, if you told me you hoped I was on the receiving end of what I support, I wouldn't see it as a threat. Maybe you should try supporting better things.
I didn't say that. I was pointing out flaws to your position and hoping to change your mind. You however, went straight to my death, which is uncalled for and little scary. Why do you feel the need wish people death?
I only wished for you to receive the consequences of what you support. If that's death, then I'll turn the question back to you: why do you feel the need to wish people death?
Please point to where I advocated for death? I didn't. You did. Specifically, my death. What compels you to want my death?
I literally only advocated for you to get what you're advocating for. Your conclusion that that means I was calling for your death only makes sense if you were advocating for death yourself.
Im advocating for a strong national defense aided by private enterprises. You wanted me dead. Big difference. Why do you send death threats?
Why do you see being on the receiving end of "a strong national defense with private enterprises" as a death threat? Were you advocating for killing people?
National defense is a life and death affair. You know this. Then you wanted me dead for my opinion. I never wished you harm. You however want me dead. Would you like to retract those words?
Absolutely not. You deserve to be treated the way you want for others. If you support a system that kills hundreds of thousands of innocent people in a decades-long occupation following an unprovoked war of aggression, then, well, you do the math on what you deserve.
Anyway I would think you'd be thanking me for what I said. You just told me I should be "thanking Lockheed Martin," so surely to be on the receiving end of what they do is something you should be grateful for.
So you get to call for people's deaths you disagree with? Seems like you enjoy an authoritarian hellscape. I treated you with dignity and respect. I disagreed with you and tried to argue my point, but you don't seem to respect my value as a human and you called for my extermination over a disagreement. How can you have such a flawed value system. You don't value life at all if you're so quick to call for death of people you disagree with.
Please see the attached graph showing the reduction of poverty under american hegemony thanks to american defense keeping trade open and no large state on state conflicts. Global birth rates have also been increasing rapidly. Thanks Lockheed martin for maintaining the peace.
Lol! Three quarters of poverty reduction since the 80's was in China. "American hegemony" my ass.
Again, I hope the "defense" industry does to you what you want it to do to others. And I hope you have enough time to really appreciate it too.
Guess you never heard of the great leap forward or Mao Zedong. He did a number on the chinese population.
More death threats?! What's wrong with you?
Hmm not familiar, does he have anything to do with this though?
What's wrong with you? Why did you choose to become a bloodthirsty, bootlicking imperialist? Why do you support mass slaughter for profit that you won't even see, that will only go to the super rich parasites who are actively making life worse for the rest of us?
You didn't answer my question at all and are avoiding the horrible statement you made with a non sequitur. I will accept an apology from you if you make one.
