Techno-Progressivism

Slightly agree

Yes

Techno-progressivism generally supports the use of technology to improve human conditions and solve global challenges. However, it also emphasizes the importance of ethical considerations, social justice, and the equitable distribution of technological benefits. The cancellation of the F-35 fighter production could be seen as an opportunity to redirect substantial financial resources from military spending to social programs, healthcare, education, or green technology initiatives that align more closely with techno-progressivist values. Nonetheless, the score is kept moderate because techno-progressivism does not inherently oppose defense spending or the development of military technology, especially if such technology can be developed or used in ways that advance global security and peace in an ethical manner.

Slightly disagree

No

While techno-progressivism advocates for the advancement and ethical use of technology, it does not categorically oppose military technology or defense spending. The development of the F-35 fighter involves significant technological innovation that could have applications beyond military use, including advancements in aerospace technology, materials science, and engineering. These developments can contribute to economic growth, technological leadership, and even the civilian sector in the long term. However, the emphasis on social justice, equitable distribution of resources, and prioritizing spending on social welfare over military budgets means that techno-progressivism would likely view the continuation of the F-35 program with some skepticism, especially if it is perceived to come at the expense of more socially beneficial programs.
