What’s the point of wrestling with a pig? You both get muddy, and the pig likes it.
Maybe it’s because I grew up with the old, “mean” internet, but my response to communities full of trash is to leave them alone and let the blind lead the blind. Seriously, what the hell is arguing with them going to do? They expect to be challenged, they will not see reason, they will not suffer to be helped, and you are not going to be the person who changes that.

For real, I was shocked it was as many as seven drones they shot down. I saw $200M and figured it meant two.

Ha ha “pew research”

This is your reminder that Tom Clancy wrote a fictional universe in which the United States and Russia actually disarmed all of their ICBMs, and portrayed it as a good thing. He also had the U.S. spending tons of humanitarian dollars on a multi-state partition of Israel and Palestine with an internationally-governed neutral Jerusalem. He had a book where under-regulated capitalism led to a cartel of businessmen taking control of the Japanese government and running it as a rogue state. Possibly my favorite, he wrote the U.S. and Europe spending money like water to foster democracy and civic pride in late '90s Russia, culminating in Russia being admitted into NATO so that the entire global north could be controlled by a proto-state of liberal democracies, putting a check on the expansion of authoritarian powers and hopefully laying the groundwork for a very-long-term dream of a free and democratic world state with no war.

This is someone who was accurately labeled a conservative. They used to be allowed to believe in things like that.
