Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis said during a Saturday press conference there are believed to be “no survivors” from Friday’s powerful explosion at the Accurate Energetic Systems facility in Tennessee. He did not confirm how many fatalities there were, but he previously said 18 people were missing on Friday.
Accurate Energetic Systems specializes in the “development, manufacture, handling, and storage of a diverse array of energetic products and explosives for military, aerospace, and commercial demolition markets,” according to its website. The Associated Press reported that the company has sold to and had been awarded military contracts with the U.S. Army and Navy.
The powerful explosion at the facility occurred early Friday around 7:45 am local time, and was felt more than 15 miles away.
They made munitions for 155 rounds …like those we sent to Ukraine.
I know some of you think the world will just hold hands and get along without weapons but it doesn’t work that way.
And that’s why the company sent the munitions directly to one of the few leftist Ukrainian militias, right? Nah. These were defense contractors.
Not necessarily without weapons, in fact we’ll probably need weapons to smash capitalism, but without the United States and the imperialism my government supports? Yeah humanity doesn’t need that shit.
Lol you’re niave as fuck. The world will never just get along. There will always be power hungry people who want to control others and have no morals. So you can’t magically discuss with them to stop doing harm to others.
“Speak softly and carry a big stick”
Yeah no shit Sherlock, that’s why we need to turn our guns on the empire, on the capitalist class, on the rulers of 🇺🇸 and 🇮🇱 and every other State, on this vocal minority of power hungry monsters who explicitly refuse to be reasoned with and shoot them until they’ve been reduced to paste. I am 1000% with you on the necessity of political violence. Burning these systems of oppression to the fucking ground is the bare minimum 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
But these weapons were never going to be allowed to fall into our hands. These were defense contractors for the empire. These were the weapons that would be deployed on us.
Yeah that’s fine for ordinary people, but the United States has no right to “speak”, no right to carry any “stick”, big or otherwise, and no right to even fucking exist. 🏴🏴🏴🏴
And replace this civilization with what?
If you think the USA has no right to exist then neither does any other country on the planet. They all have bloody pasts.
Exactly! 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Yeah but the United States has a particularly influential bloody past, and a bloody present and future. I.e. the United States is the most dangerous enemy of humanity in recent memory, for example the Indigenous genocide, structuring an entire society around white supremacy, American imperalism and war all around the world, the climate catastrophe we are forcing upon the world, and the cyberpunk technofeudalist dystopia our tech bros are forcing all of humanity to submit to.
Yea either expected a anarchist or tankie reply lol
Anarchist are delusional kids who think everyone is going to magically work together.
I literally was spamming black flag (🏴) emojis, I literally have a Circle-A as the top banner on my profile, “anarchist” is the literal first word in my bio…of course I’m an anarchist 😆
That assumption is neither sufficient nor necessary for anarchism to work. We don’t need absolutely everyone to magically work together all the time. We can handle our disagreements without establishing systems of domination over others. If anything, these systems of domination simply amplify existing disagreements.
So when you have a “disagreement” and the other side says fuck you, what’s your plan?
