    At Ares, we would never* wish for a war to occur.

    *intonation inferred by me, an intellectual

    Yeah, it would be a real shame if a war started in which our …product… would be commissioned en masse. Why, we wouldn’t be able to make enough cash to dry our tears from all the sadness!

    But by helping to rebuild our defense industrial base, we can make sure the United States is prepared to stop a conflict and save countless lives.

    bro just one more war bro, bro I swear just one more war and it’ll save countless lives bro

            It is an unfortunate fact thatsomeone is going to have the biggest stick. USA/NATO absolutely should be criticized for how our military has been used and what we’ve sacrificed domestically in order to have that, but I’m pretty sure a world where Russia or China have had the biggest stick over the last few decades is markedly less peaceful, less just, and less free than the current status quo.

      You don’t understand, let me reason it from first principles. The Olympics are good for world peace, everybody comes together, we have some fun races some nations win some lose, we all go home happy and pretend it was our nation that won in spirit. Ergo races are good. Therefore an arms race is also good. It will save countless of lives, they are like the Olympics, Ares was the god of peace really (I asked chatgpt).

        According to books, which are smart and true, war is peace, so this is true!

          Sorry my nootropics regime doesn’t allow me to read books, but I asked some chatbots and they agreed with you. I’m also going to have to buy a new calculator, because according to the chatbots the math on my calc is wrong.

              Well, I think that any self improvement group when going on long enough will run out of ideas and will go into ‘we should do book summaries and then read them to each other so we can optimize the amount of books we read’. So it went a bit from there. It is a scary odd pattern, where they all hype knowledge (esp in a reactionary way, so ‘the old books’(which those are is left to the reader)), but refuse to actually read full books.

      Dogshit writing as well, “we would never wish for a war to occur”, read that sentence back in a mirror to me

      War is the greatest human tragedy, but defence is indispensable. With our commitment to rebuilding the United States’ defensive industrial base, we at Ares aim to ensure this country is prepared to halt any conflict rapidly, and save countless live.
