    The fact that anyone, let alone LGBTQ+ people, can go to the streets holding a “Lockheed Martin” sign and not get shamed into dropping it, shows we’re failing as a society

        They also make a motherload of AGMs including hellfires & mavericks which the IDF used exclusively to nuke Gaza and its residents into oblivion.

          Weapons can be used for liberation or oppression at the same time. Lockheed doesn’t get to say who they sell to.

            OK, so your earlier comment was saying they’re good for sending (selling) weapons to Ukraine. Then you say they can’t be held responsible for the bad things. If they can’t be responsible for the bad, then they also don’t get credit for any good.

            Yes, you’ve identified the problem.

                  So only the American government can sell Lockheed martin arms? Then the corporation is no longer liable for any harm their weapons cause since they have no power or agency in how they are used. Are you really sure you know your position here?

                    Wow. I genuinely don’t know how you managed to come up with that, it’s genuinely impressive.

                    Try: “Manufacturing weapons of war for profit when you can’t guarantee that they won’t end up in the wrong hands is unethical and war profiteering corporations should not exist.”
