The amount of comments online I’m seeing just demanding escalation with a global nuclear power is baffling. Nuclear Armageddon isn’t a matter of “bluffing”, no one here wants to end the fucking world. But we still have the big red button to take part in the threat just like Russia does! Yeah, MAD is fucking insane. The problem isn’t even that Putin suddenly decides to end the world because he says “fuck it, I didn’t like waking up this morning anyways”, it’s turning all the switches to allow flexibility for a “response” to occur. And then you just need some slip up somewhere, some high nerves, some bad information to suddenly get a sweaty scared human somewhere 5 minutes to either say “yeah, end the world” or not.

Sorry for the anxious rant, I’m just like are so many people really so eager to kill billions over THIS? How the fuck did this happen?

    I'm not against total nuclear annihilation but at least I'm honest about that coming from a place of my own chronic suicidality. I don't know what all these "mentally healthy" and "high functioning" people are doing

        I've seen a lot of otherwise grillpilled people recently surprise me by being very pro war. Socialism seems to be the only thing that keeps you from being taken up in that nonsense.

            no they seem to be in favour on moral grounds and we don't get that many treats from Ukraine really.

                fair point but I don't think they understand the violence treats relationship they believe this because the news told them to
