Here is a neat thing to do for the comments section here: open up your browser's console, and enter something like:
for (let i of $$('.comment span.c00')) i.innerHTML = i.innerHTML.replace(/drone/ig, 'gun');
It's really a stunning effect, much more so than just staring at the comments and imagining swapping the words around.
For the record, I don't think drones are exactly equivalent to firearms. But the parallels between the comments here and those of gun advocates is something that should make people stop and go, "hmm."
> Why do I smell propaganda (for more gun laws) when I read this?

- mcbits 8y agoThat was great. Some other funny words to try: toy, chatbot, drug, nuke, 3D printer, kite
- mmirate 8y agoPropaganda for gun laws that are even more restrictive than the U.S.'s current situation, is indeed bad. (And arguably worse than propaganda for drone laws, on account of the 2nd Amendment and the reasons we have it.) What's your point?
