They are greenwashing missiles now ._.

Remember when Robert Evans did fake ads for Raytheon on his podcast? This is more ham fisted than his parody ads were.
"Yeah, we kill civilians in droves but at least we're eco friendly about it."
Couldn't find the tweet, but they do seem to engage in some military greenwashing:

- https://azcapitoltimes.com/news/2018/11/08/raytheon-is-committed-to-environmental-stewardship-sustainability/
Environmentally friendly missile for children is like saying the new E/I (educational/Informational) version of Epstine island. Here's a wild idea... maybe stop spending billions on "green" murder machines and start putting it towards digging humanity out of the eco crisis that is going to leave our grand kids in a Mad Max movie.
If you ride the subway in Washington DC there are posters advertising anti-aircraft systems and other military contract products right next to the ads for car insurance and chewing gum and it's so fucking weird.
Huh... perhaps I should buy myself a few anti-aircraft batteries, you never know what home invaders can come up with ig
Own a Phalanx CIWS for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended.
Wait fr? Thats a normal thing in the USA?
Around DC where many DoD entities exist. I doubt it's like that in many other places
in and around the central hub for all us lobbyists and politicians it is.
Is this a satire community?
This is certainly not a real tweet that you posted.
Thats crazy
I lived there for many years and never once saw that...
The fact you called it the "subway" and not Metro makes me think you're full of shit right
I'm not from DC, but I've visited a number of times, and I said subway not Metro out of the assumption that people outside of DC wouldn't know what I was talking about if I said Metro. The ads I saw were near Pentagon City or Alexandria.
This is not real... right?
The greenest missile is the one used to remove Big Oil executives and lobbyists.
Every search result I found links back to this exact screenshot.
I can't even imagine who this is for. There just one guy rubbing it to war weaponry but only if it's environmentally conscious? Dirk, buddy? Did you like that tweet?
"Every person we murder helps the ecosystem" ~Raytheon
They're not wrong
Nah, get out of here with the eco fascist rhetoric.
Well I guess all the people they kill can't contribute to any emissions
Gotta kill billionaires then. Blowing up poor people is highly inefficient.
Well the missle being advertised is an AA missle and the rich spend lots of time jet setting so...
But who's going to fund all the killing then? It's more efficient to keep your stream of income alive.
Not if their money is redistributed. It’s not like it disappears.
The RIM-7 doesn't even have that justification for being green; its a short range anti-missile (and super cost effectively, anti-drone...) system. It isn't used to blow people up directly.
That's a grimly salient point. I wonder how long it will take to advertise them as carbon-negative.
Well hello, Mr. Malthus.
Not just the people, but they are so thoughtful as to remove the polluting airplanes, too. Praise to the overlords.
Imagine...
"our missiles and drones are made with 10% oceanic recycled plastic, and with other post consumer recycled materials. Raytheon strives for a greener world with our commitment to carbon neutrality"
Like lol?
This isn't real, right? Please tell me it's not. If you wrote this as satire, it'd be shot down by the editor as being way too on-the-nose.
Few people realize it because most people will see past that greenwashing bullshit immediately.
Reality is officially too on-the-nose for Starship Troopers.
Is this a subsidiary of Veridian Dynamics ?
These fuckers are making fun of all of us. They know we won't do anything to stop them selling shit to kill people.
Planes crashing into the ground and burning jet fuel, famously environmentally friendly
Honestly, I know a few jets it could hit, but I don't think it's a good way to a solarpunk future.
FPV drones are cheaper :>
