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?
Don't worry, there's hope:
Realized that North Korea is well positioned to survive climate apocalypse relatively intact and there’s a good chance that Juche Ideal will be the ideology that eventually explores the cosmos. Kim Il Sung for the Civ 4 Culture Win.
:juche: :matt-jokerfied:
I'd still rather not die myself though
we all die eventually
true I should say I'd rather not die in a big war along with everyone I know
You know? same.
until a week or so ago I assumed that was a relatively common opinion. I have not been pleasantly surprised only the socialists in my life have been immune
Due to its geography north Korea has never been self sufficient in food production, they're also not immune to natural disasters like during the arduous march
