Are you seriously trying to claim that a weapon you can threaten to kill people with cannot be a tool of opression?

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

If you want to opress people you don't do it with a Rafale. You use those for killing people in sophisticated ways.

If you want opression, sticks and guns are far more efficient.
