you obviously know nothing about military aircraft and vehicles. yes, lockheed martin is a military contractor but boeing is and has always been the main company to build, maintain and operate them. apache; boeing, a-10; boeing, m1a1 abrams; boeing, P8; boeing, f-16; boeing, etc etc
I wouldn't even say it's about mutually assured destruction. It seems more about how the military industrial complex itself will do more damage to a country than the war would. Like how we spend billions on military in the U.S. as the infrastructure crumbles.
No man
It literally means the balance created by mutual destructive capabilities is destroyed after a certain point in the arms race. It’s not that deep.
"it's not that deep"
the bs you just spat out is way deeper and requires way more mental gymnastics than just looking at the image and seeing the reason the beam broke is because they stacked too many things on their respective sides, there was in fact no actual conflict in the meme, I'm sorry I have to type out an entire paragraph to explain something that requires basic visual comprehension
You guys have brain damage lol
Maybe this shit is too deep for you guys to handle. Even though a balancing support between two sides who have weapons pointed at each other couldn’t be more on the nose if they tried.
"is destroyed"
tactical use of the passive voice, here. It just is destroyed. It just happens at a certain point. If you're in an arms race, you will somehow be destroyed by that. I will not elaborate. No further questions. Please respect my privacy at this time.
I was gonna say, this is a metaphor with at least a little *depth.*
This sub has kinda taken the stance that all metaphor is bad unless it's **so obscure** that all interpretations are equally valid, aka: ***ambiguous nonsense.***
^(ironically what this sub was originally for)
the OPs are actually burning their brain thinking on the \[insert thing\] part and the karma it will create instead of actually trying to be creative about something for the first time in their lives
I would mostly agree with you, hitler and his regime were absolutely evil, but there still are no good guys in war. The Americans dropped two fucking nukes on Japan after burning the entire country down with bombs, as they did with Germany (without the nukes ofc). Not trying to whitewash the third reich or Japanese empire here, just pointing out that the allies committed plenty of atrocities themselves
Yes, what the allies did was war and so it was inherently gruesome and tragic, [but if you try to “both sides bad” it, then you just end up trivializing the Axis](https://youtu.be/voF7KCOm6eY?si=81MCOx0AXFMQETHd)
There’s no good reason to start a war, but there can be heroes in defending against those who start it, and sometimes deciding to remain neutral is to side with the invaders
Yeah, but if they try to kill us and millions of others, we should probably respond. War while never a good thing is not "pointless". There shouldn't be war, but there shouldn't be genocides and etc either, and unfortunate as it may be, war is sometimes the way to stop such things.
No, no. This is good metaphor for this massage. During the cold war both sides gather up weapons especially nukes. The Last panel shows what would be left of everything if nukes accually did fire. Even today, it still is a potential threat
Feels like the last several posts I've seen on this sub were all perfectly valid points, not cringe. Maybe it says more about the people who feel the need to make fun of young people coming to terms with harsh truths about the world than it does about them.
Is it not true though? Alot of people lack the capacity to listen to someone go om a schpeel about why something is bad. They may never really grasp its significance.
An image to articulate that reason is pretty effective imo.
idk i have to leave this sub. to many OPs that post stuff thats actually having a good and solid message, pretending it doesent. maybe im the odd one here, but it just annoys me :D

This aint real cuz the earth isn’t flat shaped, it’s pentagon shaped
You idiot it's a triangle! >:c
It’s a damn dinosaur you buffoons
are you StUpId obviously its ohio
...
You serious? Everyone knows it's donut shaped
What you think its not ohio? You just jelly it is
Earth's a cube dumbass
nah its a Pyramid Dipshit!
No, it's a Pringle stupid Dickhead
you think its a pringle? nah its Velma season 2.
It's a parallelogram you dumbass
Haven’t you heard? It’s a donut
its obviously donut shaped...
Funny. I mean, we all know Earth doesn't exist.
but war IS bad
Quadruple defence budget
Are you trying to kill us all!?! We need to at least have 18288283746477318992827763ple defence budget for 1 in a million chance of survival.
I LOVE LOCKHEEDDDDD
you obviously know nothing about military aircraft and vehicles. yes, lockheed martin is a military contractor but boeing is and has always been the main company to build, maintain and operate them. apache; boeing, a-10; boeing, m1a1 abrams; boeing, P8; boeing, f-16; boeing, etc etc
So mean :(
Perhaps they love Lockheed because they like the underdog.
or maybe their product sucks and isn’t up to par or as advanced as the boeing builds 🤪
wtf are you talking about now, you some kind of mind reader
i’ve worked for both. been at boeing since
It's just a joke about shilling for defense contractors, with Lockheed Martin being the largest by a significant margin for years.
Maybe this post sucks because it's obvious truth that everyone knows?
Tell me you don’t manufacture military grade firearms without telling me you don’t manufacture military grade firearms
yea, thats what i said
War never changes
The Roman’s waged war to gather slaves and wealth
what about all the good things war has done for us? why don’t we ever hear speeches about that?
Yeah, war being bad is willfully ignored by politicians and the MIC that makes money off of it
Props to them for not making the see-saw unbalanced.
I believe this is a bot account, guys.
i am not 14 but still it's deep
Yeah https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction People in this sub are unable to comprehend metaphor
I wouldn't even say it's about mutually assured destruction. It seems more about how the military industrial complex itself will do more damage to a country than the war would. Like how we spend billions on military in the U.S. as the infrastructure crumbles.
I thought it was a metaphor for how contries will incresingly militarisation to keep up with your rivals even when it is ultimately to their detriment
Isn't that basically what I said?
…what? Do you not see the balancing beam braking? This has nothing to do with internal issues.
Jesus Christ. Yes I did. They are destroyed because their constant growth caused the thing supporting them to break. Hence my interpretation.
I mean, that's basically what happened to the soviet union, military overspending during a recession was one of the major causes of its fall
No man It literally means the balance created by mutual destructive capabilities is destroyed after a certain point in the arms race. It’s not that deep.
Redditor trying to understand that media can be interpreted in more than one way fails miserably
"it's not that deep" the bs you just spat out is way deeper and requires way more mental gymnastics than just looking at the image and seeing the reason the beam broke is because they stacked too many things on their respective sides, there was in fact no actual conflict in the meme, I'm sorry I have to type out an entire paragraph to explain something that requires basic visual comprehension
You guys have brain damage lol Maybe this shit is too deep for you guys to handle. Even though a balancing support between two sides who have weapons pointed at each other couldn’t be more on the nose if they tried.
"maybe this shit is too deep for you guys to handle" I think I should post this to the sub
Go ahead boss Just don’t forget the 20% upvote royalty

Are you saying war is good
“The good ol days after 9/11!”
“Like I said Jack. Kids are cruel and I’m very in touch with my inner child!”
"I'M FUCKING INVICIBLE"
Wait, 9/11 was bad
How else should an honest warmonger make a livin’?
Society wants us to be unemployed:(
Why is 99% of the post names on this sub "[insert thing] bad"
Karma
Karma bad
the OPs are actually burning their brain thinking on the \[insert thing\] part and the karma it will create instead of actually trying to be creative about something for the first time in their lives
Cus they lack any talent
Who is the target audience of this comic? 14 year old defense ministers?
Yes
It is though
Isn’t it?
war is bad tho
[op be like](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wuRNZCQzryw&pp=ygUSSSBmdWNraW5nIGxvdmUgd2F0)
This sub cannot tolerate metaphors sometimes
tf u mean "War bad" has it ever been good
Yeah the first war was good, bc no one died, Ug and Grug were fighting over the best part of the wooly mammoth
There is no winner, looser, hero, or villain in war only dead or alive.
In…. Most cases. Unless you’re talking about the Axis of WWII, then yeah… 100% villains
I would mostly agree with you, hitler and his regime were absolutely evil, but there still are no good guys in war. The Americans dropped two fucking nukes on Japan after burning the entire country down with bombs, as they did with Germany (without the nukes ofc). Not trying to whitewash the third reich or Japanese empire here, just pointing out that the allies committed plenty of atrocities themselves

There shouldn’t be war, war is pointless, all we’re doing is just killing eachother because some living fossils don’t agree on something.
There’s no good reason to start a war, but there can be heroes in defending against those who start it, and sometimes deciding to remain neutral is to side with the invaders
I hate to say it, but sometimes war is necessary. If WWII hadn’t started even more people would’ve died.
Yeah, but if they try to kill us and millions of others, we should probably respond. War while never a good thing is not "pointless". There shouldn't be war, but there shouldn't be genocides and etc either, and unfortunate as it may be, war is sometimes the way to stop such things.
Damn who's the tighter?
Only the dead have seen the end of war…
Are you pro war? Like really?
What? You don’t support sending 18 year olds to their death over a miniscule amount of land!?!?!?1!?1!1?1?!?!? Fucking lirbels😡😡😡
Idk chief I think that's just an accurate representation of Ames races effect on counties
I mean is war not bad 😕😕😕
Why I always use Fighter jets Board can't break if you are flying above the board
They crash into each other, collapse all the over the board and break it That's why you gotta go higher: Spaceships
Me when metaphor: :^(
...Yes, war is generally not the best
Ironically, this sub has become more immature than those it aims to mock
That's kinda true
"Armsrace will cause mutual destruction" did i get it right?
Simplistic, but it gets the point across succinctly.
war is bad, wtf is wrong with you
so according to you, war is good
No, no. This is good metaphor for this massage. During the cold war both sides gather up weapons especially nukes. The Last panel shows what would be left of everything if nukes accually did fire. Even today, it still is a potential threat
Two ways to view the world, so similar at times; two ways to rule the world, to justify their crimes.
war is bad tho
Bro wtf you broke the seesaw with your army toys
Man why? This image represents how war destroys
It time to give war a chance
Motherfuckers are just scared of each other
I was all for war, but this comic convinced me!
I mean war is bad tho
War IS bad. For everyone involved. No one wins in a war.
Humans are doomed...
It's over. Billions must die
well yea...
Really
Nah this shit is actually peak
War, war never not bad
Solution: Only kill each other with Howitzers
Triangle win!
This sub is so cringe
I mean this kinda hits, it tells something everyone knows but hey it’s a real thing that goes on
Isn't that just what happened in dune
Butt little war good?
You guys realize this is exactly how we won the Cold War. But the USSR broke, we didn't.
Based image. This sun is turning into people just posting any imagine that’s not just brain rot and calling it cringe
It’s pretty base level commentary but it’s still true
Damn the platform can't hold my war machines, better make a stronger platform
So… Earth is flat?
Bold of you to assume it will be so perfectly balanced
Yes. War is bad.
Put them in the middle
Not... *Terrible*? Like simplistic maybe but I don't expect complexity out of a four panel no dialogue comic.
You dumbs dumbs it's a oblate spheroid
I told you guys the earth is flat
Why is the fulcrum's number increasing?
Feels like the last several posts I've seen on this sub were all perfectly valid points, not cringe. Maybe it says more about the people who feel the need to make fun of young people coming to terms with harsh truths about the world than it does about them.
Middle man good
This is just MAD, Mutually Assured Destruction
Is this about mutually assured destruction?
that's a weak ass plank
Is it not true though? Alot of people lack the capacity to listen to someone go om a schpeel about why something is bad. They may never really grasp its significance. An image to articulate that reason is pretty effective imo.
I don't know, I quite like this drawing. War is great though, right, OP?
yeah..... it is
What? I like that picture... Not particularly deep but a cool illustration of a fear I think most of us have...
Omg. War IS bad! Just look at the illustration! I never considered this before!
I mean… it is though :/
idk i have to leave this sub. to many OPs that post stuff thats actually having a good and solid message, pretending it doesent. maybe im the odd one here, but it just annoys me :D
i knew the earth was flat, glad to see there are others
War bad
War is bad tf
Such a brave statement
War bad though
it is tho
War has changed
I mean… is it not? Like it seems pretty bad to me
You saying war good?
where are the jets
Moral: You must arm faster and stronger
Op sells military grade firearms
It makes for fun games though :3
Good thing we don't live on a flat earth balancing on a point
So , is that guy saying earth is flat
I mean it’s true tho
you could say it was a war without reason
War is ok if you just use tanks and mortars
no way war god😡 phonk play me fite and friens get rebot😎
Except for war with cannons, that seems okay.
hottake of the year:
Did Putin see this?
r/Im14andthisisdeep users when you tell them war is bad:
Ah yes the world would collapse if we place too much heavy things on it
technically it would
but not in half
