as much as i love participating in FIRST and FRC i can't help but feel so dissapointed at how,,, usamerican it is. like its this super cool competition marketed as this "wow were giving kids steam tools to become the better versions of themselves!!" but then you look a little into it and theyre sponsored by the cia and the us department of defense and boeing and bae systems and so on, litteral groups who profit from mass death and you start to see it isnt really for making future scientists who will fix the world or something its just to make more american military complex workers. why waste your precious engineering skills doing something useless like helping others when you can help us make bigger and worse bombs! but #womeninstem so its okay guys
#sorry to like the two people who will care about this its just been on my mind a lot#glad im not american so i am not invited to these scholarships or programs but it still sucks to see something that so many people see as a#“moving force for the future” and stuff like creating the leaders of teh future and whatnot as just a US military scheme basically#frc#first#first robotics#first robotics competition#muffin.txt
