CynicusRex , in Elon Musk draws fire for playing down impact of America’s atomic bombing of Japan: ‘Not as scary as people think’
@CynicusRex@lemmy.ml avatar

Not defending these two unethical bullies in general, but on this particular paragraph they are totally taken out of context. It is obvious that they are not downplaying the atrocities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki but merely stating that nuclear energy is not bad since people are already living there again.

SeaJ ,

Then they are simply idiots. A nuclear bomb like Hiroshima and Nagasaki are much different than the meltdown in Pripyat. That still has dangerous levels of radiation.

Fair point. I should’ve made the distinction. But in any case, nuclear power plants aren’t bad.

FlyingSquid OP ,

As I said in my original post, the problem is that it is the worst possible argument you can make in favor of nuclear power, not that there are arguments in favor of nuclear power.

CynicusRex ,
@CynicusRex@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m just addressing the fuss that’s being created. They are clearly not saying “the bombings were not as bad as people think”, but the headlines and articles make it seem so.

By doing this we are using the same spurious tactics as they are. Inundating people with blown out of proportion news like this will desensitise them to step into action when it will actually be warranted—the boy who cried wolf.

They spew tons of misinformation/disinformation/fallacies that should be addressed instead.

FlyingSquid OP ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

No, he’s saying nuclear power isn’t as scary as people think because things got better in the cities that America dropped atomic bombs on.

Which is exactly what I quoted him saying.

CynicusRex ,
@CynicusRex@lemmy.ml avatar

I can’t disagree with what you quoted, nor state that it is a good argument—it isn’t, as was already pointed out and which I do agree with. I’m emphasising that they are not saying “the bombings were not as bad as people think”.

ramble81 , in Trump campaign forced to pay North Carolina city $82k in advance for rally

This has become fairly common with Trump after cities experienced him not paying his bills later.

solomon42069 , in Donald Trump says he will flee to Venezuela if he loses election [Newsweek]

Why wait? Trump could leave the United States right now and we’d all be better off.

Could he though? Isn’t he on bail?

PM_Your_Nudes_Please ,

Yup, out on bail while he awaits sentencing for the 34 felonies. And more charges are tied up in courts until after the election, but prosecutors have already started proceedings so he’d also be considered a flight risk for those cases.

So what I’m hearing is there are no downsides…

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I’m sure those “joinly-run” labor unions will really protect worker’s rights.

“Sorry, it’s a joint decision made by with management that weekend working is now mandatory.”

They’re really working on making World War III attractive. That’s not a joke. They long for war.

Ophioparma ,

We already had two World Wars and civilization still exists. It’s not as scary as people think, basically. /s

She could avoid all this unpleasantness by fucking off for good instead of clinging onto relevance. She deserves worse, but I absolutely love this banner.
