minus-squarefamousringo@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up74·3 年前Using something I’ve built to destroy warships before they can launch cruise missiles at an apartment block? Now I am become death, saviour of civilian power grids.
minus-squareViking_Hippie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·3 年前Yeah, because only the Good Guy Military uses it and they would never do anything bad 🙄
minus-squareflashgnash@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up16·3 年前That’s an argument as old as time though If only they hadn’t invented kitchen knives there wouldn’t be so many stabbings
minus-squareHonytawk@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up16·3 年前It isn’t a fallacy, it is just to point out that the military is going to use anything that will give them an edge. Whether we civilians use it or not.
minus-squareViking_Hippie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 年前Yeah, but that doesn’t mean we have to like or even approve of them abusing things meant for peaceful purposes.
minus-squareYa_Boy_Skinny_Penis@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·3 年前A military not doing something to save civilians from war crimes is improper, not what you’re implying.
minus-squareHonytawk@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 年前Elmo gave up the ability to “misuse” starlink for military purposes when he allowed military to use starlink.
minus-squareflashgnash@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up7·3 年前It’s a very similar problem on a larger scale. Starlink isn’t designed to be military but it exists on the free market and can be used for military purposes so it is Kitchen knives aren’t designed for stabbing but they’re out there for everyone so people are going to use them for stabbing
