When you grow up, you hope to live a long life. At some point you probably get confronted with death and you start to hope that you don't get cancer or something or dementia or whatever.

I am currently at a point where I hope to not die of nuclear war or far right governments hunting me down. I came into this world to live a happy life, contributing to society in a positive way. Instead, I have to deal with unhinged fuckers like this.

It's so sad how peace & prosperity for all people is within our fingertips if not for a handful of psychos who don't value human life and dignity.

Nice to note this is immediately after Saudi Arabia ditched the petrodollar and sold to china in yuan not dollars. I'm sure these events are not connected in any way

I think it's just one thread in a larger tapestry of US losing political and economic influence to China.

China: Buys some oil in its national currency.

Some white dudes: And we took that personally.

The West at this point is doing everything they claim the DPRK is doing.

The "threat" from China being that they're able to do all this stuff and make all the4se advancements without war.

Interesting story!


Line of "legally a different discussion" 👆

Threatening the world with nuclear annihilation because your shitty failed economic system is falling apart is threatening billions of people. No one person or government has this right.

These people are trying really really hard to get us killed

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 18 points 5 months ago (1 children)

yeah, they'd rather end the world than allow the rest of humanity to develop in its own way

It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. Because deep down, we know the bourgeoisie would rather kill us all than lose power.

And another minute comes off the doomsday clock.

"Name the two most famous myths of civil defense."

"Uhh, we can win a nuclear war, and the survivors are the lucky ones!"
