To make things worse, my dreams almost always end when the missiles start hitting, if it even gets much past finding out they have been launched.
That idea that I know the world’s about to end and I have maybe an hour’s warning and there’s literally nothing I can do about it… I had that nightmare twice Friday night.
An hour? Oh boy, it’s worst. 30 minutes for ICBMs and only for the higher ups. Even less for submarine launch missiles.
I’m currently reading Nuclear War: A scenario and so far it only cemented my initial understanding that once the bombs go off, not much matters since it’s the end of the World.
Hopefully mine too, but that’s the point I wake up if I get that far. There’s no living in a Mad Max world in my dream. It’s always about the total lack of control as the world ends.
Maybe don’t mindlessly say it requires cognitive dissonance to consider NATO (an organization that bombed Libya and supported anti-black rebels leading to an open-air slave market in the country, and armed/collaborated with Nazis and ethno-nationalists to sabotage left-wing movements in West Germany, Greece, Turkey, Italy, etc. (Operation Gladio)) an evil empire (and for slavery/against peace to use your 1984 comparison).
The boomers are always on active alert, so would standby be a step down? I didn’t get what this would do. Everything is already ready to launch quickly and has been for decades.
It’s kinda ridiculous, I hate that Islamic countries fail the separation of religion and state test. Education is a great way to change it, and just aiming to make people less religiously inclined.
People are always surprised that I’m against Muslim immigrants. I don’t get it. I’m gay, seems pretty obvious to be against those who would rather I die. And I’m not against middle eastern immigrants. But Muslims? I have enough trouble with the Christians. Please keep your even more backward, fucked up religion in your shitty countries; which are only shitty because they are led by a backward, fucked up religion.
The bad laws were in place even before Imran - so that isn’t unexpected. However, only a democratic government affords any chance of revisiting it. Arguing that the situation is the same now is completely disingenuous.
The difference is that America isn’t going to go less right if Biden wins. It’s already in a downward spiral and voting Biden isn’t going to break it. If anything it will strengthen 2028 Republicans.
It sounds like a clever provocation, and he probably made sure it catches attention before they can silently move it under the carpet. He didn’t do any crime, he even proposed compromises to make it seem OK and followed official procedures, so they can’t (now, publicly) presecute him by law, but it offended their homophobia that much they found nothing more clever than dropping him into a mental yard instead of, like, declining his idea for some made up reason. What’s that if not a high-risk high-reward prank activism? At least, we now know that the state of Pakistan loses it’s shit over him touching that nerve.
