I’m not gonna bother posting a Reddit screenshot or a tweet. We’ve all seen enough, and way more than it’s healthy. Just wanna say, people really support shit ideas that will pretty much inevitably end with a nuclear exchange. It’s really depressing to see people foaming at the mouth with racist warhawk takes. That’s all.

    Lurking2learn learning and posting a based take 👏

    It’s so depressing and spooky comrade, I agree. My optimistic side says that for all the warhawking and rhetoric by world leaders we won’t (hopefully) see a nuclear exchange because its fundamentally detrimental to capitalist expansion if they kill land and people (resources to these ghouls) but optimism has always left me disappointed when it comes to angloid geo politics.

    I think a lot more of the privileged world could do with a crash course in quite what a nuclear exchange will mean for them.

    Edit: did this sound condescending? The first line felt condescending. I’m sorry 😞 it wasn’t meant to be 😭

      it’s fundamentally dangerous to capitalist expansion

      The ruling class is dominated by very old, very spoiled people who never faced a consequence their entire lives. I fear that people like trump will believe the 80 iq generals who tell him they can win a nuclear war.

        Yeah this is true, the hardmen of the bourgeoisie political class have never exemplified common sense or humanity for that matter.

      You would think. You would really really hope not. To anyone with a functioning brain nuclear war is obviously THE most irrational thing. But goddamn are the managers of US empire fucking stupid.

        To them because of particular yields weapons having less of a radiological impact than say smaller bombs I bet they consider it a potential escalation or some stupid bs not realising any nuke is a bad nuke. Geriatrics in charge of the apocalypse the lot of em.
