When a bunch of thugs take a building full of people hostage its a crime. When the government takes the entire human species hostage its "nAtIoNaL SeCuRiTy"

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

In the end, it all comes to the power scale. The strongest ones are usually right.
And MAD is like:
nAtioNAL seCUriTy
Child mentality of winning
On point.
Fucking creeps.
The only thing that gives me hope is military incompetence, no way those warheads work after decades of storage and no testing.
The engineering that goes into these things is insane, I doubt they would stop functioning, even after such a long time. Also, every country with nuclear capabilities makes damn sure they have working ones on standby all the time. As much as I wish you were right, I'm afraid the people in charge are way too obsessed with that kind of power.
seeing how much of the US military is a paper tiger designed to funnel as much public funds to military shareholders, I wouldn't be surprised if at least 1% of nukes still work.
I highly doubt that, but even if it were true, it literally takes one nuke to change the entire course of humanity
The second one gets shot off, everyone pointing one at each other shoots them off.
Sir, I politely ask you not to take away all my copium.
I hope you are right.
I hope I am right too. 🤞
