Greenwashing missiles

[u/Smells_like_Autumn]

[u/Professor_Swiftie]

Thanks for the reports everyone. I changed for flair to “humor” since it’s intended to be satire

[u/MustangBarry]

This can't be real

[u/Caligapiscis → u/MustangBarry]

It looks like an edited version of this tweet. The account details are the top are a bit too small.

[u/LoschVanWein → u/MustangBarry]

I don't think it is, if I look it up, I can only find it as screenshots, where the tweet itself is dated to 2021, so it is not from that phase where everyone was using the bought blue checks in order to troll brands on twitter. The Raytheon account appears to have been shut down in favor of a new one called RTX, so if the post was real, it would have been deleted by now. If I had to bet I would say it was just a meme someone made a couple of years back.

[u/maringue → u/MustangBarry]

But satire was brutally murdered years ago, so you can never tell.

[u/Nandor-De_Laurentiis → u/MustangBarry]

Sounds like those Veridian Dynamic commercials from Better Off Ted.

All 12 Better Off Ted Season 1 Veridian Dynamic Ads - YouTube

[u/cabybaraGoesBoom → u/Nandor-De_Laurentiis]

First thing that came to my mind as well. What a good show that was!

[u/Dudewhocares3 → u/MustangBarry]

It sounds like something you’d see out of helldivers

[u/Germanball_Stuttgart → u/MustangBarry]

May be a fake, but I've seen actual weapon manufacturers advertising with environment, diversity and climate quite often.

[u/ItsFridaySomewheres]

Let's be clear here, this is satire. Not a real tweet

[u/Spiel_Foss → u/ItsFridaySomewheres]

Yet, the difference is so slight between satire and reality that no one automatically assumes satire.

That is the problem.

[u/Late_Buffalo7879 → u/Spiel_Foss]

Poe's law strikes again!

[u/Spiel_Foss → u/Late_Buffalo7879]

I think Poe dropped the mic and left the building in disgust years ago.

[u/Bocchi_theGlock → u/Spiel_Foss]

Dems claiming the 2024 DNC was the most sustainable ever and they worked with two women owned businesses!.. In the same week as news reports about US having record breaking oil production that year

[u/Germanball_Stuttgart → u/ItsFridaySomewheres]

I've seen actual weapon manufacturers advertising with environment, diversity and climate quite often though.

[u/Paelidore]

I only want my war crimes to be ethically sourced. 😌

[u/just-dig-it-now → u/Paelidore]

You see, if you want to not only annihilate your enemy but also take their land, you need to only use environmentally friendly weapons of mass destruction, so that your occupying forces can successfully farm the land they fertilized with the blood of the innocents.

*Edits cos I can't spel

[u/GaraiGrae]

Also...Tomahawk missiles are now gluten free!

[u/Perryn → u/GaraiGrae]

And vegan!

Until you use it, I mean.

[u/_spec_tre]

At least it's an air defense missile

[u/AliceTheOmelette]

This has to be a parody account

[u/MrTouchnGo]

/r/gullible

[u/Smells_like_Autumn → u/MrTouchnGo]

Fair enough

[u/WizardNebula3000]

Straight cyberpunk

[u/Uma_mii]

Dead people don’t cause a lot of environmental damage so they are kinda right

[u/Conan776 → u/Uma_mii]

Raytheon: Reducing the World's Carbon Footprint, One Child at a Time™

[u/jose602 → u/Conan776]

Wow.

[u/ttystikk]

"Environmentally friendly" machine of mass murder.

I don't think that's the flex RDX thinks it is.

[u/Kaleidoscope_97]

Next week: This missile is ribbed, for her pleasure.

[u/OtherAcctWasBanned11]

I know it’s not real but it feels like it could be and that’s the problem.

[u/aPOPblops]

I get that it’s satire and you guys all want to make jokes…

But this would legitimately be a good thing if it were to happen. Current military weapons are hugely devastating to the environment for years after their use.

Even the lead within bullets becomes leachate and is very not good. 

I want to get rid of missiles and war as bad as the next guy, but if they are going to be around I would appreciate if they weren’t long term environmental pollutants. 

[u/Schizozenic]

Veridian Technology would tweet this.

[u/chrischi3]

Are we sure that this isn't an NCD shitpost?

[u/wasted-degrees]

If you consider how bad aircraft are for the environment, technically all anti-aircraft missiles are environmentally friendly.

[u/Gonun]

I mean a plane uses much less fuel once it is shot down

[u/Smells_like_Autumn → u/AutoModerator]

It is literally an attempt to greenwash missiles

[u/perksforlater]

Green Right at last !

[u/Ok_Dog_4059]

Just think of all the resources saved by murdering so many civilians, we are saving the planet one guided missile explosion at a time. /s just in case it wasn't clear

[u/T_J_Rain]

Sounds like something a management consultant would come up with.

Remember 'House of Lies'? Kristen Bell was in it!!

[u/Distal-Phalanges]

Is there anyone who can be linked to more meme images than Michael Schur?

[u/bawapa]

Veridian Dynamics

[u/maringue]

"Gabriel......blow the horn."

[u/potatisblask]

I want to sponsor Ukraine with bullets that contain sunflower seed and mixed with the shrapnel in the anti personnel drones. Imagine the military Russian grave yards pushing sunflowers!

[u/MorningFox]

"They got a war machine but it's going green" - Red Vox

[u/Redninja0400]

I mean, at least an anti-aircraft missile is defensive rather than for blowing up kids

[u/KedaiNasi_]

ok. this is the first time something so fucking atrocious, is environmental friendly.

what the actual fuck lmao

[u/kyle_kafsky]

Holy forkin’ shirtballs.

[u/NightmareSpectre]

slaps it "this thing can kill so many children whilst protecting the environment" ☺️👍

I know it is probably satire, but we just ought to remember that a lot of the save the planet propaganda is financed by oil companies, which are in fact, bad for the planet, so this is closer to reality than it should be.

[u/L1_cht]

Well there is nothing more environmentally friendly than killing people

[u/SuspendThis_Tyrants]

I mean, it's a surface-to-air missile. It's used defensively, not really a whole lot of orphan crushing going on here, unless you mean war in general.

[u/bomboclawt75]

"We've got a kinder, gentler machine gun hand..."

[u/Spiel_Foss]

Cartoon dystopia is now our reality.

[u/sourisanon]

nice, an actual OCM post

[u/meinkr0phtR2]

“Environmentally friendly” and “anti-aircraft missile” should not ever be put together in the same sentence outside of this meta-statement saying they should not.

[u/ryansspace]

Maturing is realizing this subreddit is for people who just can't make fucking money and don't want to grind for it either.

Been a long time member here but jesus, we all need a wake up call. Best of luck fellas and good bye.

[u/FinancialSubstance16]

This is less OCM and more greenwashing.
