Saw this thread, and it really hit a chord with me, as these similar fears tend to constantly weigh on me (for various reasons- being trans, ethnic Chinese, commie, etc).

I think we all (leftists, but also just most minorities) know, shit is bad and will get worse, it's just a question of how bad it will get. People mention it offhand without usually going further into the details, and similarly in other spaces - non-leftist ones as well, for instance Asian diasporic and LGBT spaces in my experience, these fears come up, but ultimately we keep the bulk of our concerns to ourselves. What are our expectations here, for the west? Not just for the US, but the Anglosphere and Europe?

    Dirty bombs have never been used in a conflict and may not even actually exist beyond something theoretical.

    Seriously, you think they never use bombs with dirt or mud on them? I've seen photos of US military bases and their hygiene is not up to par. Guarantee some of the bombs they use are dirty.
