Usually when companies do this it bothers me because it is tone deaf pandering. But with Raytheon I don't feel the same way because I think these lunatics actually believe this message. They were sponsoring gay pride parades in the late 00s, way before it was cool to be gay. There is something about an unironic murder cult of gay environmentalist engineers that fascinates me.

I have a sort of meme version of this read by glados saved on my phone lol
In other news, Monsanto was ranked as #1 trans friendly workplace before it got acquired by Bayer.
I guess when we've banned all the books, we can start blaming GMOs for all the femboy smut on the internet?
"We will give you cancer and destroy your livelihood by suing you for using our genetically copyrighted crops, but, Trans women are women! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈"
Capitalism is wild
I mean... missiles are the most direct 'degrowth' implementation I've seen.
😬
If you’re an engineer working for the military industrial complex they don’t really care who you are so long as your soul has that price tag. And I know a decent portion of the people doing it feel guilty and try to mentally minimize the damage it does.
Dan the company man felt loyalty to the corp
After 16 years of service and a family to support
He actually started to believe the weaponry and chemicals were for national defense
'Cause Danny had a mortgage and a boss to answer to

Raytheon, I don't think you can greenwash weapon manufacturing.
its anti air missiles. Its for good.
Yeah, the air has greenhouse gasses and what do they make? Anti AIR missiles! Kablammo greenhouse gasses!
I don't think that's actually real.
Also, Sea Sparrows are some of the missiles used in Ukraine for air defense right now.
I have not done this but: literally search the post word for word. Weird to just throw out "I don't think this is real" like we're in the woods in 1945 and a plane accidentally dropped a ream of newspapers saying the Nazis surrendered.
Hey capitalism, how's it going?
...yeah
What, does it only target LearJet and Gulfstream private aircraft?
I'd be okay with that. How do we implement that?
Right now they seem to be targeting mostly Russians, making Ukraine's environment better I guess
ಠ_ಠ wtf did I just read?
I do believe it says the sea sparrow is the most environmentally friendly anti-air missile.
Ah! Thanks.
For every missile fired we will plant a fucking tree
To be fair, people and airplanes are very bad for the environment.
I wouldn't be surprised if a tactical nuke was a net positive for the environment.
A nuke destroys whole ecosystems...
Chernobyl is doing pretty well now that it's completely uninhabitable by humans...
Plenty of things will survive it, and the removal of the humans in the area may be a net positive.
Humans do that too https://youtu.be/bmVGwOP_zi8?si=lobEy6mBiIRCVmoL
Sustainable child murder
I'd hate to leave the children we kill a polluted earth behind.
They’re anti-aircraft missiles. Aircraft cause a lot of emissions so it’s best they are shot down. Bonus using a green missile
Most environmentally friendly anti-air missile
Oh cool, they're gonna start launching them at private jets?
I hate that this isn't a meme.
Ed: lolol 300+ mindless upvotes and the poster is the sub mod. Awesome.
Why do communities exist if people are going to dump everything in one place and are rewarded for doing so?
It's a meme insofar as the definition of
an element of a culture or system of behavior passed from one individual to another by imitation or other nongenetic means.
Information is one of the elements. This is information and it is being passed around by non genetic means.
I bet it generates a lot of carbon when used though :(
But think of the jet emissions reduction it leads to!

If you're going to be unfriendly to people, the least you can do is be friendly to the ecosystem.

`Frank, the new CEO had to answer to the board.
The board was getting anxious, and the shareholders were
on a bed, legs in air, ass-cheeks open wide
They were about to get fucked like it was their first time.
When one makes 20 million, ten thousand people lose.
What keeps that one from swallowing a shotgun?

Helen is living in her car, trying to feed her kids.
She got laid off at work, and her house was repossessed.
It's hard to think clearly when it's 38 degrees.
Desperate people have been known to render desperate deeds.
But when she shot that family and moved into their home,
The paper read she suffered from dementia.`

When I read the first line i was like oh shit it’s NoFx fuck yea
Is this real?
Well weapons are going to be made and used anyway, it's better if they're environmentally friendlier I suppose
I'm calling bullshit. The Internet Archive snapshot for the RaytheonTech Twitter page on 2021-09-07 does not show this tweet between tweets dated 2023-08-19 and 2023-09-01.
Maybe they are going to start shooting down billionaires' jets?
Not real and is doctored
welcome to the reagan democat future. the drones will be operated by queer PoC and fire environmentally friendly missiles into hospitals
