These models are weapons whether the frontier provider founders and their trite and lofty mission statements like it or not.

Private individuals and private companies do not get to create a defensive weapon with unprecedented power in a new category in the US and not share it with the US military.

You guys are batshit insane.

> It’s an odd form of white supremacy that views whites as above having material interests of their own.

This is also an interesting way to explain the self-immolating Whites, which nowadays is most of us. Any sort of White group identity or collective interest is absolute heresy which must be opposed, while all things in the collective interest of non-Whites must be celebrated, encouraged, and helped along at our own expense. There's a certain paternalistic arrogance to it, an ethnocentric assumption that other races can't get on without us. And it's much more common and pervasive than the caricature of the like shaved head neo-Nazi we are all expected to imagine exists in large numbers, somewhere.

Same. I support everything that's going on at DOGE. There's a certain type around here that needs to get used to the fact that their political views do not enjoy industry wide hegemony.
