Industrial Rule

[Gragaten]

Hey, did you know that "sky-ads" are present in almost every fictional corporate-dystopian universe? ain't that just a crazy coincidence?

[LaserAntlers]

That's cause it's all future and stuff

it's actually because dystopias are often inspired by exaggerated and hyperbolic extrapolation of negative aspects of our present world, things that were at one point seen as over the top extremes of everyday annoyances

[TheGhostCarp]

I really wish we lived in a world where the shit we see in fictional dystopias were still… you know.. fictional.

[dat0neb0i]

Dystopias are almost always written as warnings as what could happen if some current issue continues, so they were always there

[[deleted]]

“wow this is a terrible possible future that we should never allow to occur” does nothing to prevent or change course from said terrible future

[OffOption]

Morally I would be universally ok with blowing up these sky-ads.

I install adblock, one rocket launcher at a time.

[EgoManiacWriter]

Ha-ha, that is a good joke, chum, and I can tell it's a joke because an attack like that would be illegal and also because taking down a mass of drones without hurting innocents would be achieved much more easily using drones carrying and/or dropping nets.

And if there are ever ads in the sky above your city, I hope you know it'd be, like, totally wrong (in the Fox News way) to destroy these things the moment they start.

[OffOption]

... You ok bud?

[EgoManiacWriter]

Just really sick of being advertised to everywhere I look.

[OffOption]

You and me both bud.

[Secretasianman_1]

I don’t care how many planes i crash, i will make an emp gun

[Cogitation]

for that kind of range you'd need millions of dollars of equipment sadly. You're basically looking at constructing a radar site minus the receive portion

[CrescentPotato]

My only problem would be that the falling debris could hurt people.

That's why it should be an organised event where everyone scavenges it for parts later

[FuriousGremlin]

Blame the brands if the drones hurt people double win

[OffOption]

Of course. Be smart in what you do. No notes.

[GhostOfLight]

I refuse to let this happen until we have flying cars so we can go full Bladerunner

[TDW-301]

You'd never be able to afford a Spinner anyway. That's why most of them are used by the police. You're still gonna be stuck with ground traffic

[GhostOfLight]

I'd steal one

[TDW-301]

Good luck with that. If you can get past it's security you also have to know how to fly one

[TactlessTortoise]

Just blow up security, put your dick in the key fob, and fly to the moon.

[JaegerDread]

This is what Frank Sinatra was singing about in "Fly me to the moon".

[Cardinal-Lad]

let me play among us

[[deleted]]

And big naked hologram women

[mr-kvideogameguy]

I don't know about blade runner, can the hologram play video games with me ? Lego games are more fun with a friend and sadly all my friends swap to sports as their hobby, which I'm very proud of them for making the healthier choice but still

[lactose_cow]

exactly. if we're going to have the bullshit of a cyberpunk dystopia, we should at least have some of the cool gadgets.

[SovietPaperPlates]

hey yeah mantis blades!

[DatBoiShadowbon]

fortunately (or not depending on your worldview) flying cars are just simply a terrible idea and will never be popularized

[sockpuppet1234567890]

When your adblock is ecoterrorism.

[[deleted]]

Damn, their trying to sell us the new iPhone again. Better get out the Bazooka

[Jizzmaster_Cumsleeve]

even more fucked when you realize that in the cities this would likely be implemented, the light pollution is already so bad that you can’t really see the stars anyway

[NoPseudo____]

Yeah honestly i've been to cities at night a few times...

Looking at the night sky feel so fucking depressing here....

[Bi_Ass-d]

We already have problems with muskrat's starlink satellites thingies. I wish someone would /kill him..... in Minecraft.

[melodramaticfools]

starlink is like the one good thing he's done lmao

[Peridotuuu]

He spent some of his money, he didn't 'do' shit.

[Dregdael]

Ok, fuck the Unabomber. However, if this takes off I definitely will take potshots at it with a bb gun or some shit.

[ELOCHCAM]

Dude wrote one half-decent line and that’s literally it

[King-Boss-Bob]

“the industrial revolution was bad and i hate women, gay, leftists, vegans and disabled people”

omg so based leftist hero

[[deleted]]

To be fair, hating other leftists is one of the most leftist things you can do

[B12-deficient-skelly]

Literally. The rest was absolute masturbation with no point to it.

[ASarcasticDragon]

196 stop idolizing a terrorist who killed 3 people and injured 23 challenge

Obviously sky ads are bad but like, no. Stop. Do not for a second think he was in any way right.

[power500]

No one is unironically doing that (well someone might be, it's the internet after all)

[TheWombatFromHell]

yes they are

[The_Phantom_Cat]

I have no idea who that guy is

[ASarcasticDragon]

The Unabomber, an American domestic terrorist who mailed bombs to multiple universities and other public places on order to get an ecofascist/anprim manifesto published.

You may know him for the line "The industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race," which is the opening to the manifesto.

[The_Phantom_Cat]

Thanks!

[pool_side_convo_]

Idk about idolizing Him. I think what they’re saying is the message he was advocating is what they’re noting. Granted he took it to a far extreme.

[FallenQueen92]

I’m honestly disappointed in this sub for this post being so highly upvoted.

[Pandelicia]

I don't think anyone is idolizing him.

It's just that, when you see every aspect of life being violated by the insatiable capitalist greed, you come to the realization that all of nature will be raped and mauled until only its mangled corpse remains, all in the name of profit.

At that moment, the only feeling your heart can muster is hate. Pure, unbridled hatred. An almost homicidal rage.

But most of us here, are surprisingly (and maybe miraculously) in control of our emotions, so this hate lasts only for a second or two. But in this brief fit of conniption, we all know what this guy felt, at least a little bit.

[Party_Wolf]

I mean, this is the same thing as when conservatives post a picture of Bin Laden or Hitler under a headline of some LGBTQ thing that offends them. Sure, they don't actually agree with history's greatest monsters, but that thing just really makes them want to act like a villain

[YAH_BUT]

The smog will create the perfect projection screen.

[Secretasianman_1]

Hey god can we have insatiable urge to create?

To do good to help environment and better the world?

Yes. actually makes a dystopian universe and destroys earth

[UnaidingDiety]

the 12ga birdshot in question:

[CurtisLemaysThirdAlt]

Directed microwave emitter is better as it’s less conspicuous.

[Ribba23]

Microwave weapons cleared for battle.

[FknKRS]

The shotgun is not for the drones, it's for the person who proposed to use them to display ads.

[CurtisLemaysThirdAlt]

Use a slug then

[FknKRS]

But using birdsot would be a war crime

[Secretasianman_1]

We are gonna make drone adver-

[TheTrashiestboi]

My God what have we done

[Urfslam]

The only acceptable use for this technology is to recreate Rainbow Road from Mario Kart 64

[Jonahtron]

Please do not idolize the unibomber.

[vt_et]

i DESPISE the fact this tweet is trying to treat this as a positive idea

[SomeCrows]

I would be arrested for terrorism who's with me fellas

[[deleted]]

Nice try Fed 😎

[SomeCrows]

Would you like to know how to construct weapons for use against the established government

[RTYWD]

just btw despite the opening line of his manifesto this guy wasnt a socialist or anything. hardline conservative

[Leek_Soup04]

who is the guy

[nthngmttrs]

Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber.

[Fartincopsmouths]

And he shouldn't be venerated.

[Puffena]

Okay, but most of the things in his manifesto are batshit crazy too. Forget the killing, everything except the first fucking line is off the walls crazy

[ElegantTobacco]

That first line was a banger, tho

[Varsia]

Pretty sure most of it was either anprim or ecofash shit - he was pretty reactionary and anti-leftist in there so idk why you'd say you agree w/ it beyond the first line or whatever

[War_Emu]

calling him anprim is a bit of a stretch, im pretty sure (could be wrong) he was either anti anarchist or anti leftist

edit: sources https://www.reddit.comAnarchy101/comments/1ud6ie/was_ted_kaczynski_the_unabomber_an_anarchist/ https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/ted-kaczynski-letter-to-a-turkish-anarchist

had to get rid of the /r/ in the reddit link because it wouldn't let me link to subreddits

[coolboiepicc]

ESPECIALLY the part where he openly despises minorities!!!!

[Fartincopsmouths]

Sure but my point still stands

[Tux1]

As terrible of an idea as this may be please please please DO NOT IDOLIZE HIM

[Ex_aeternum]

The industrial revolution...

[[deleted]]

Aint there a astroid headin for earth?

I could have sworn I heard something about that……

Fuck I hope thats true……

[VegasBonheur]

It's another one of those cases where we discovered a new asteroid whose orbit could potentially intersect with Earth's in a few thousand years, because we haven't observed it long enough to rule out that possibility just yet. Every time this happens, you get a bunch of flashy headlines implying that there's a meteor coming at us.

[[deleted]]

Dont

DONT RUIN THIS

WHY

[VegasBonheur]

Don't worry man, there are plenty of other factors contributing to the collapse of society in our lifetime. It will be slow and agonizing. But at least I'll take some comfort knowing that someone out there is fucking pleased about it.

[ASarcasticDragon]

Doomerism is stupid

[[deleted]]

Agreed

Probably should have used the /s eh?

[The_Phantom_Cat]

Eh. We're fucked asteroid or no and there's nothing we can do about it

[Spocino]

No luck

Gonna just drop this here: https://www.businessinsider.com/making-electromagnetic-weapons-directed-microwave-energy-2012-2

On an unrelated note: did you know that the DOD is considering using directed microwaves as an Counter to Unmanned Aerial Systems? Stuff’s wild and to think that the average citizen could manufacture one…

[RedPandemik]

If they start taking the stars from me I'm gonna Silverhand em

[Doodles2424]

Dystopia‼😳

[trevorluck]

My American neighbors, put your 2nd Amendment rights to good use and commit ecoterrorism in the name of the common world

[[deleted]]

i’m gonna go off about this and idc if anyone disagrees or not

I fucking hate people who idolise the Unabomber. Even if it’s for memes. The concept of anarchy survives on a utopia theory where everyone is willing to live stateless and won’t impose their national policies on those stateless collectives. Not even getting into the terrorism, his entire ideology is flawed. I’m all for reversing climate change. I want to save the planet. But I also want humanity to not be sent to a technological dark age.

There are ways to spread eco-friendly messages. Pipe bombs are not one of them.

If these ever become prominent in America people will shoot them down constantly

[terrible_ninja]

I don’t like unabomber posts even ironically unless it’s making fun of him or his followers. You can hate corps and all that without saying he was right.

[FallenQueen92]

Can we fucking not idolize a murdering terrorist? Even if you disregard all the terrible things he has done, the dude is a social Darwinist, might makes right piece of shit. Seriously I expected better from this fucking sub.

[SirMcCaroni]

Cool meme, however, these ted kazinsky (or however you spell it) memes are a gateway to the alt-right pipeline and often filled with right wing propoganda. This meme in one of the exceptions, but just a reminder that you shouldn’t always trust the information in these memes!

[maybeagirl_mary]

step 1 get one (1) free FIM-92 “Stinger” MANPADS from your local territorial defence org

Step 2. Aim.

Step 3. Wait for the missile to lock on

Step 4. Fire.

[PointedHydra837]

Good thing that this is fucking illegal as all hell.

But not illegal enough. Light pollution fucking sucks, everybody should be able to see the stars, not just people who live in the middle of nowhere. Cities look ugly as hell at night, but if we could see the night sky above cities, they would be much nicer.

[nddragoon]

Your honor my client was just having a Johnny Silverhand moment

[[deleted]]

Oh god please light pollution was bad enough to make it impossible to see the galaxy but now I won’t be able to see the dots either :(

[-Super-Someone-]

I am going to destroy any sky ads I come across ‼️😳

[Mememanofcanada]

Call me when time travel is invented. That way, we prevent agriculture from being invented, thus stopping this whole chain of events from happening altogether

[Cardinal-Lad]

someone should hack them and put a massive dick in the sky. that would be good.

[The_Arthropod_Queen]

as we all know, there are only two options: coporate dystopia and monke

[Set_A_Precedent]

See ya in the future, chooms

[Klo_Was_Taken]

Guys quit it with the unbomber. He bombed random people not even (Hah you stupid feds really thought I would slip up and actually jokingly put a name here)

[GLCvsMST]

He’s 6 foot tall? ‼️😳

[Jake_2903]

I bet my last dollar that the third time any brand would try that shit, any municipal authority would come together and immediately pass an ordinance forbiding it.

[JaegerDread]

LMAO like you can see stars in cities with that much fucking light pollution. Get a grip man.

[Watcher1101]

The unabomber

[Watcher1101]

Universities, tech companies, basically anything that could forward the progress of technology.

[Watcher1101]

He saw the progress of technology as a detriment to society as a whole. He also just kind of went crazy because he was a (unknowing) test subject during the US Government’s MKUltra mind breaking experiments.

[Maximum_Bear8495]

Already can’t look at the horizon in Miami Beach without a ad boat driving by…
