      Do you think that there is a dire shortage of tools for murder, and only the modern defense industry is sustaining the strained supply?

      Israel, Russia, and Ukraine sure seem to think so. None are producing enough munitions domestically to satisfy themselves.

      Less weapons made still means less weapon used.

          So do you work for a defense contractor or do you just have great respect for the act of killing in general

              It is pretty radical to argue that a small contingent of Zionist Israelis would be successfully eradicating the people of Palestine if both sides just had sticks, so the U.S. should just keep manufacturing and selling MK-84 bombs. Or we can talk about how absurd a claim it is that the arms industry is looking out for the little guy—you know, the group that can pay for less of their product? Thank god for arms manufacturers—that’s probably what Uyghurs think when they’re stopped at checkpoints by military police

                  Yeah, that’s a pretty pointless response on the Uyghur front and I don’t think we’re making progress on the “how easily is the genocide carried out” front so let’s just drop everything else and hone in here:

                  China’s comprehensive surveillance system is what makes tracking the movements of Uyghurs possible. It is what has made detaining and killing them so easy. So the people that made that system possible are responsible. Please explain how actually it’s nobody’s fault because things just happen.

              But you are literally arguing in defense of America, which is funding genocide, so now you are just straight up lying
