Ukraine is doing that. They have anti-drone drones called Sting
No emp because when it comes to drone warfare cost effectiveness is imperative. No use using a multi thousand dollar drone to down one that is a fraction of that cost.
Russia is pretty much doing the same as well. I just watched a video this past week of a drone of theirs skewering a Ukrainian reconnaissance drone with metal rods until the recon drone caught fire and crashed. The Ukraine war is definitely the cutting edge for drone combat.
You’re gonna have a hard time convincing people this is legit with a brand new account with no post history. Regardless, good luck. My dog just cost me nearly two grand for surgery last week.
There was a time I’d watch V for Vendetta every November 5th, but that’s fallen off in recent years. Still a great movie; it’s one of those few films I think is better than the source material. I have also probably seen Billy Madison 500 times. There are a ton more I could list but those are jumping out in my head
Opeth, although I don’t love their more recent drift away from death metal (dear god it’s been a decade now). I’ve really loved Cattle Decapitation’s newer stuff, too.
Oh and I second the guy declaring that Wu Tang is for the Children
I never said people should be forced to do anything, but if they refuse to do the bare minimum to educate themselves then they have earned my contempt. There is no measurable harm in not being interested in sports; I would argue that the harmful consequences of political apathy are all around us.
I’d love to hear you elaborate on what specifically MLK was ignorant about, shy of his infidelity.
The 19th century books you like aren’t resulting in people getting separated from their families or deported to countries they’ve never lived. They’re also not an immutable piece of your identity; your argument doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
I’ll leave you with this, which brings me back to my original point that being apolitical isn’t a privilege that everyone has. Do you think a black person drinking from a whites only fountain in Mississippi in 1960 was able to just tell the cops “oh no need to arrest me, I’m not political”? Did a Jew residing in Vienna in 1941 have the privilege of saying “oh no need to evict me from my home and shove me into a ghetto, I’m not political”? I could go on. The ignorance and indifference that people have to their privileged status is what drives my contempt.
Ignorance in and of itself isn’t sinful, but willful ignorance is. Any adult in a democracy has a duty to be at a minimum mildly informed and vote and anyone not doing so is abdicating their responsibility to our society. You don’t have to have knowledge of something to indirectly support the conditions that perpetuate it.
There were plenty of Germans that said “we didn’t know” in 1945 despite living very close to concentration camps and having over a decade to witness the persecution of Jews, socialists, gay people, Roma, etc. I don’t find it absurd to ask people to pay attention to what is going on in the world in which they exist and have an opinion. I’m not even asking for them to hit the streets, just to be aware of what is going on rather than burying their head in the sand.
You should really read MLK’s letter from Birmingham jail. Your arguments somewhat mirror his frustration with what he called the “white moderate” who prioritized comfort over justice.
I think that’s a distinction without meaning. Apolitical people support the status quo, and anyone that says “oh you were mean to me so now I support putting children in concentration camps” wasn’t ever going to be an ally in the first place.
