If people were allowed to go back to their homes after Chernobyl they probably would have been fine for a couple years until they started getting cancer and dropping like flies.
I hate how so many Americans' brains are incapable of long term thought.
Me sitting upwind from forest fire: I don’t smell any smoke, sounds like skill issue :big-cool:
This moron would have walked around Chernobyl and been like "I can't see the radiation or feel it, therefore the lyin' MSM is lyin'!"
Is this how the American state loses legitimacy? Not through any of its crimes against humanity, its failure to provide a decent life for its citizens, but through drinking the individualist kool-aid to such an extent, its populace becomes ungovernable? I mean, a large segment of the American population has gone full General Butt Naked, invincible to outside influence through sheer determined solipsism. The hogs walk, and neither toxic chemicals nor state violence nor social norms can stop their march. A sovereign citizen plows through a crosswalk (as is his right as the captain of a land-borne seafaring vessel), but phases straight through the pedestrians because they didn't agree to his violation of their private property. A child is born sans parents and immediately gets a job. He's your boss (baby) now. The scariest thing the deep state has left to control their hogs is a never-ending procession of balloons they can take pot shots at while yelling something about China. I am projecting that the Presidency of the United States will be a rotating prize on a gameshow, and the winner gets to order one free drone strike on their neighbor. It can only get funnier and stupider.

Chicken vs egg. The failure to provide a decent life encourages the toxic individualism. When you’ve literally never had a positive interaction with the government, and never seen government services do anything but fail or make people’s lives worse, people lose trust in the government and won’t even listen when it’s needed.
You need to have years of actually assisting people and courting trust through smaller everyday programs in order to have the social capital to do things like evacuations or pandemic prevention.
First masks, and now the communists are trying to convince you mustard gas is bad. I put that on my hot dogs, HELLO!
I mean she's a rabid anti-vaxxer who thinks politicians are going to be sent to Gitmo for the covid hoax so we already know she has no sense of self-preservation or just sense in general. Let her go frolic in the fumes.
I hate American media and social media I hate American media and social media I hate American media and social media :agony-4horsemen:
What special attacks do you think the vinyl chloride cancer boars will have?
well i'm at least hoping that they spit acid or have poisonous tusks
They'll have no bones on account of acroosteolysis spreading beyond the extremities, allowing them to fit through small gaps.
Their primary attack will be a grapple that will cause them to attempt to engulf you if it successfully lands.
Should you be attacked by a single cancer boar, its slow movement and heavily telegraphed attacks will make it a trivial fight but beware - it is easy to be overwhelmed by large groups.
I make sandwiches & fetch my husband beers without having to be asked
:matt-jokerfied: SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP
how is it these people so consistently take the dumbest fucking position on everything
Everyone should be horrified by train derailments, they're almost always completely avoidable, in freight especially ones which lead to releases/burning/off-gassing of materials hazardous to health.
Investigation needed to confirm safety/damage is what should be performed, at a minimum. It's unreasonable to suggest otherwise.
I'm also very realistic about the contamination caused in this East Palestine derailment, I think, which makes this whole situation even stupider. It's not they'd ever be on the hook for relocating everyone in a 10 mile radius around the site, or even a 1 mile radius. They're really just trying to avoid compensating and relocating a few dozen families, instead they're going to make them sue them and fight them for decades. Fucked.
Lol, 45 miles north of East Palestine is one of the most reactionary parts of an already extremely reactionary state.

always good to hear field reports from friend of the podcast @patriot_melissa
