Usually when companies do this it bothers me because it is tone deaf pandering. But with Raytheon I don’t feel the same way because I think these lunatics actually believe this message. They were sponsoring gay pride parades in the late 00s, way before it was cool to be gay. There is something about an unironic murder cult of gay environmentalist engineers that fascinates me.

I have a sort of meme version of this read by glados saved on my phone lol
I mean… missiles are the most direct ‘degrowth’ implementation I’ve seen.
😬
If you’re an engineer working for the military industrial complex they don’t really care who you are so long as your soul has that price tag. And I know a decent portion of the people doing it feel guilty and try to mentally minimize the damage it does.

Raytheon, I don’t think you can greenwash weapon manufacturing.
For every person you kill we plant a tree. It’s both good for the environment and a very visible kill count.
You could argue that just killing people is statistically good for the planet.

its anti air missiles. Its for good.
Yeah, the air has greenhouse gasses and what do they make? Anti AIR missiles! Kablammo greenhouse gasses!
Hey capitalism, how’s it going?
…yeah
What, does it only target LearJet and Gulfstream private aircraft?
I’d be okay with that. How do we implement that?
Right now they seem to be targeting mostly Russians, making Ukraine’s environment better I guess
You can read this in Robert Evans’ voice and it’s just as sarcastic as anything he’s said about them
Bob Evans?
Host of the podcast Behind the Bastards.
“And you know what else hosts the podcast?”
Goods and services from our friends at Raytheon?
Wendy?
IHOP so
Nah, BTB is sponsored by the products and services made and provided by Raytheon, Robert has said so many times on the pod
What a bastard.
Especially the knife missle. Raytheon…when you need a missle and a knife.
ಠ_ಠ wtf did I just read?
I do believe it says the sea sparrow is the most environmentally friendly anti-air missile.
Ah! Thanks.
For every missile fired we will plant a fucking tree
Most environmentally friendly anti-air missile
Oh cool, they’re gonna start launching them at private jets?
To be fair, people and airplanes are very bad for the environment.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a tactical nuke was a net positive for the environment.
A nuke destroys whole ecosystems…
Chernobyl is doing pretty well now that it’s completely uninhabitable by humans…
Plenty of things will survive it, and the removal of the humans in the area may be a net positive.
So do we… at least the nuke stops killing new things after a bit.
Define “a bit”, please
Few months/years. The radioactive isotopes created in the explosion have a short half life. Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki are thriving cities today.
Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki are thriving cities today.
That contradicts the whole point that a nuke will destroy humans but leave the environment intact. A bomb of any kind destroys ecosystems. If humans reclaim the cities, it’s not a “net positive” for the environment, despite the cynicism that’s in the statement.
“Land back” is a much better approach since land under indigenous jurisdiction has much more biodiversity than average and especially than bombed land.
Perhaps 1 minute?
Humans do that too https://youtu.be/bmVGwOP_zi8?si=lobEy6mBiIRCVmoL
Sustainable child murder
I’d hate to leave the children we kill a polluted earth behind.
They’re anti-aircraft missiles. Aircraft cause a lot of emissions so it’s best they are shot down. Bonus using a green missile
I bet it generates a lot of carbon when used though :(
But think of the jet emissions reduction it leads to!
If you’re going to be unfriendly to people, the least you can do is be friendly to the ecosystem.
