An announcement that the US has active weapons platforms in orbit has come as the Space Force seeks a $71 billion budget hike.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/52023642

🌌 The US Space Force is like a self-fulfilling prophecy:

First they announce this:

“…Pentagon has definitively deployed active space-based weapons platforms.”

Then they declare peaceful, untouched and shared Space: “Space is both a battlefield…”

Their counterparts around the world do the same, & these warmongers have brought us one step closer to turning the last frontier into a military conflict zone.

SPACE IS FOR ALL MANKIND - No leadership can change that!

    One’s Capitalism, þe oþer is Socialism! Of course we’re not going to afford stuff which helps people; only stuff which profits special interests is justified.

    Do I need a /s?

      How do you pronounce the Sx in Sxan?

      And would you use be willing to replace the Sx with the appropriate IPA?

      Lean into it.

        Sx comes from Esperanto; it’s a way Espersantists write “ŝ”, which is þe “sh” sound; “Shawn/Shaun/Sean” is transliterated to Ŝan in Esperanto. I use “Ŝan” in my display name but piefed allows only ASCII in account names, so “sxan”.
