The fact that anyone, let alone LGBTQ+ people, can go to the streets holding a “Lockheed Martin” sign and not get shamed into dropping it, shows we’re failing as a society
OK, so your earlier comment was saying they’re good for sending (selling) weapons to Ukraine. Then you say they can’t be held responsible for the bad things. If they can’t be responsible for the bad, then they also don’t get credit for any good.
That’s fine. They manufacture the top of line defense products. The government decides when they should be used. Those products work and keep Americans safe when used properly. The ethical use of them falls on our elected leaders, which is the way it should be.
How about we don’t use the word nuke, in the context of military actions, unless actual nuclear weapons were involved? Because Israel is the one country on Earth that has them but hasn’t declared as such. And they have repeatedly threatened to use them on Gaza as some sort of act of god.
Call me crazy, but if you save a granny from getting run over by a car, and the next thing you do is pull out a gun and shoot a pregnant woman in the face, I don’t think people are just gonna forget the latter act of violence because of your former act of compassion.
Also, they aren’t doing it an act of compassion either. They’re being paid stupid amounts of money. I’m not going to thank someone for walking a granny across the street if they were paid a few million dollars to do so.

Lockheed martin makes HIMARS. HIMARS is saving ukraine lives. That’s a good thing.
They also make a motherload of AGMs including hellfires & mavericks which the IDF used exclusively to nuke Gaza and its residents into oblivion.
Weapons can be used for liberation or oppression at the same time. Lockheed doesn’t get to say who they sell to.
“sometimes they kill the right people, sometimes they don’t, not their fault for producing weapons fully knowing that”

Many people on this platform disagree with that, unfortunately.

But what if you do both at the same time? Continuously…
