    What kind of premium :brainworms: does it take to endorse nuclear war as an acceptable method and cost to preserve the status quo?

    Not to get all :alex-aware: but is there a concerted effort to get people comfortable with use of nukes or something? That shit used to be simply unthinkable, now it seems like the mainstream :reddit-logo: position :doomer:

      I've often heard westoids talk about how Putin is a nuclear threat because "If he can't rule the world, he'll destroy it, he'd rather kill everyone and everything than lose."

      It's always projection.

      Copium + younger generation. Maybe we need a 1980s style scare about nukes again. Ughhh

          Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament supporting British primary school teachers in the '80s on their way to give their students PTSD by showing them Threads on school time: :swole-doge: :lady-doge: :swole-doge: :swole-doge: :lady-doge: :lady-doge:

          But fr you're right, when it comes to understanding the truly civilisation ending implications of nuclear war I think some degree of scared straight does the trick.

          I just watched this for the first time a few days ago and it was probably the most horrifying thing I’ve ever seen. The whole time I was thinking “this is too real”

        Remember when the Greens led Germany on a massive anti-nuke protest when Reagan visited? They made a human chain hundreds of miles long. It was something that all of Germany agreed on. American nuclear missiles needed to be withdrawn, immediately.
