Picture shows a pride parade. A group of people are carrying a banner that says “LOCKHEED MARTIN” over a rainbow graphic.

Liberalism in a nutshell:
IDK, I’d rather the people making the weapons be on our side.
Our side you mean the side of imperialism and neocolonialism, of the invasion of Iraq, of the bombing of Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Korea, and the interventionism in Chile, Libya, Iran (Mosaddegh era), and the support of the banana republics? Fuck that, that’s not my side.
Agreed, as a Queer person I do not stand with the military industrial complex, nor the politicians that are payed off by them, nor the military that uses their weapons against the innocent.
Is it better to be a queer person in a nation with a strong military that respects and integrates queer people, or a queer person in a nation with a weak military that imprisons and sometimes lynches queer people?
What’s this nonsense? How does reducing military expenditure lead to imprisonment and lynching of queer people? Is the only thing keeping the Military Industrial Complex from murdering queer people giving the former enough money?
What’s this nonsense?
It’s called a question. There are two scenarios alternate. There is no supposition of cause and effect.
Sure, then I refuse to answer your question
they might … you know … be gay and work at lockheed martin … and got their managers to pay for some shit for pride. maybe could submit expense reports and have the trip paid for …
there were times when gay people couldn’t work at lockheed martin. i prefer this photo to that.
The fact that anyone, let alone LGBTQ+ people, can go to the streets holding a “Lockheed Martin” sign and not get shamed into dropping it, shows we’re failing as a society
Lockheed martin makes HIMARS. HIMARS is saving ukraine lives. That’s a good thing.
They also make a motherload of AGMs including hellfires & mavericks which the IDF used exclusively to nuke Gaza and its residents into oblivion.
Weapons can be used for liberation or oppression at the same time. Lockheed doesn’t get to say who they sell to.
OK, so your earlier comment was saying they’re good for sending (selling) weapons to Ukraine. Then you say they can’t be held responsible for the bad things. If they can’t be responsible for the bad, then they also don’t get credit for any good.

Yes, you’ve identified the problem.
So corporations backed by tax dollars get to sell to anyone?
Swing and a miss. Try going in the opposite direction.
