May they all die of radiation poisoning.

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.

"The MSDS was posted"
As long as they're asking themselves "Are we the baddies?" Because self-awareness is the most important thing 😄
Well you see they did ask themselves and said, "Eh, probably? But look at all this cash."
This isn't exactly new. And it didn't end well in the past either. After the completion of the Manhattan Project, a number of private entities begun building plutonium weapons. Notably, Rockwell International (yes, that Rockwell), ran a site outside of Denver called Rocky Flats. Ended up being one of the worst ecological disasters in American history. Plutonium will catch on fire, so there were a number of plutonium fires at the plant, but that wasn't the worst of it. Their disposal and treatment techniques were woefully inadequacy, and untold amounts of plutonium leaked into the environment. The EPA, CDPH, and DOE all knew about the process and did nothing. The FBI had to step in and raid the plant, and even still, it ran for years during court proceedings. Rather conveniently, those court documents were sealed, and later lost.
What is new here is the fact that the Trump administration already plays fast and lose with the rules. Moreover, random tech billionaires have no right so much as looking at the most dangerous substance in the world, weapons grade plutonium. So to say this will end poorly would be the understatement of the century.
P.S. Highly recommend reading up on the history of the DOE. The story of Rocky Flats, the national labs, and nuclear weapons program is so much longer and wilder than what I could put here.
What legitimate purpose does a tech billionaire even have for wanting weapons grade plutonium?
What possible use could they have for it besides building a bomb with it?
are you familiar with Atomwaffen SS?
Thèse Guy are preparing bunker, with robots as personal and guards. Why would they want a way to start the apocalypse, I wonder ? (Their is a game about the extreme greedy people go )
Selling to Iran and North Korea for profit? I mean, who else is paying, and why would billionaires want it if not for profit?
No link, just a screenshot? C'mon OP.
The only thing I could find relates to the company Oklo.
Thank you for the link, fuck OP and the originator of the tweet for trying to spin this as a bad thing. America needs more nuclear power plants and this seems like a wonderful way to reuse nuclear waste.
Solar is cheaper, requires a sponge and detergent for maintenance, and has an approximately zero percent chance of blowing everything around it into a radioactive hell. You build it and it sits in a field. Far less susceptible to incompetence or systemic failure.
It also takes like a decade to build a nuclear plant. Over a decade you could produce shit loads of energy off solar. Wind too if you want to go crazy but y'all would see one ai gen video of a bald eagle getting killed by a turbine and call them communist or something.
Ignoring how utterly disingenuous you are being about maintenance for solar, this is always such a stupid stance against nuclear. Solar is cheaper cause we spent decades bringing the costs down. Plants only take decades in shithole countries like America because the amount of NIMBY nonsense that takes place.
France is roughly two thirds nuclear disasters. They're still actively building them. And how many nuclear disasters have you heard about from them?
Also reactors don't blow everything to radioactive hell. You're being an idiot.
I do want to see more videos of bald eagles getting killed by turbines. I'd like to be able to shout 'COMMUNIST!’ MORE.
Also look into Valar atomics, it's a nightmare. https://grist.org/energy/the-trump-administrations-favorite-nuclear-startup-has-ties-to-russia-and-epstein/
Now you are starting to understand. Fallout was a documentary.
I think you mean prophecy. Documentaries are for past events.
It's a joke implying that the fictional video game known as Fallout so accurately depicts modern life, that one wouldn't be remissed for mistaking video game footage and lore for real life events.
And the joke would have worked when they used the word prophecy instead of documentary.
Prediction maybe? Or timetraveller made documentary
I’m okay with providing plutonium rods to Palmer Luckey, on the condition that he shoves them up his ass using sriracha as lube.
sriracha is too kind, use Hellfire Double Doomed at 4.5 million SHU or Pure Evil at 13 million.
Who famously love lobbying for a paucity of regulation.
Immigration is a regulation, though
That's why discussing any type of policy without discussing the related power dynamics is foolish.
It would be incredibly foolish to let people know what I actually want!
There are billionaires who create startups, but they're not the issue here. The US has around 1.7 million startups right now, almost all run by little entrepreneurs. The issue is furnishing plutonium to private sector people.
Small capitalists are still capitalists
Fucking this!
the guys from pawn stars are getting nukes? ffs
Can’t wait to see what they get up to after they rig things so if their heartbeat stops a nuke goes off.
Here's hoping they start dating in double digits and fuck the wrong sixteen year old.
There'd be kalshi bets on which city gets it this time.
I'm sure there's no way this could possibly go wrong. I can't wait until I can buy a new computer that emits gamma radiation.
Do you mean 'rent'?
I would, but unless it turns you into the Hulk, the gamma emitting computer is probably only gonna be useful once or twice before your horrible, horrible death.
Only for a subscription tho
No, you have to subscribe to the shielding component, which blocks up to 90% of harmful emissions for a mere $49.99 per month, shielding+, which blocks 99% for only $79.99 per month, or "ultra shield", which actually removes the emitter, for just $99.99 per month, first month half price! (but if you cancel, or downgrade, they'll break in to your house, reinstall the emitter, kick your dog, and leave muddy footprints on the carpet).
plutonium sold seperately.
Then there’ll be warehouses full of discount Herman Miller chairs and warheads.
Is gremlin supposed to be Palmer Lucky?
