The G7 summit wrapped up Sunday in Hiroshima, where much of the summit focused on the war in Ukraine and China. While in Japan, President Biden and other world leaders paid tribute to the victims of the world's first nuclear attack — the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 — laying wreaths at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial and planting a tree. But President Biden did not issue an apology for the attack, which killed an estimated 140,000 people and seriously injured another 100,000. For more, we speak with Setsuko Thurlow, who survived the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima in 1945 and devoted her life to nuclear disarmament. In 2017, she was chosen to accept the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.

    There's been many autobiographies, short stories, light novels, and even manga made about experiencing Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but unfortunately the Free Market(tm) has determined that the most prevailing and prominent version of what nuclear war looks like in the west is fun Fallout adventures with the bluest of curtains :soypoint-1: :nuke: :soypoint-2:

      That's because porkies and porklets desperately want a nuclear war that they think they are tough and resourceful enough to survive but will wipe out their sissy foes.

        Similarly, the zombie apocalypse fandom was by and large chud driven, especially after the turn of the century, by chuds that wanted the first convenient excuse to murder everyone around them and establish tinpot dictatorships where they "protect" feeemales.
