What calculus do you propose everyone uses to work out where the funds should be allocated? Who decides? How do we account for technology that was created as part of the war effort i.e. computers, jet engines, the internet etc?
- joenathanone 3y agoThings that sustain life (intentionally) should take priority in my opinion.
- genman 3y agoSo weapons should be the priority as weapons have again and again saved lives.
- aqme28 3y agoAre you arguing that war is a net good for humanity? It’s quite a take
- aaomidi 3y agoAmerican propaganda has completely shifted the ways people think.
- genman 3y agoYou completely miss the point. If we want to have better future then two values must become together - superior philosophy and superior weapons. It is clear that nothing good come out when only one is presented.
- genman 3y agoThis is your imagination. I didn't say that. I didn't say anything about war. I said weapons save lives. We can see again and again and again that if you don't have weapons then the people who hate you will attempt to kill you.
- jack_riminton 3y agoOk what about medicine that was developed largely as a result of war? I'm not pro war by the way, I've seen it and it's ugly, but "money should go to good things not war" is such a facile statement
