The doomsday clock is a meaningless publicity stunt. We have real things to be concerned about.
the US has abdicated its role as a voice of caution
alright get out
Yea make more of this kind of stupid shit instead of spending resources on green energy or disease prevention. Acting like it isn’t the West that’s stoking all the fires of war across the world, or not partially to blame.
Don’t give in to the doomerism comrades, it must be socialism not barbarism.
We’ve already long blown past barbarism, look at the “migrant detention centers”, look at ICE detaining indigenous people in Navajo Nation, Grants Pass SCOTUS decision, military support to Ukraine and Isntreal to further proxy wars, I could go on but I think I’ve made that point. The new version should be socialism or extinction.
Is this a symbolic clock for the end of the world or the fall of Amerikkka? Because I don’t understand it anymore.
It used to be how close the cold war was to going nuclear, but now it is just used to gauge whether or not libs think they’re likely to be able to brunch tomorrow.
lol pretty much, my biggest worry is that the US will flip the table once they realize they lost their hegemony
Studying nuclear science, and this is genuinely my biggest fear the world. I can say at least my crop of peers (even if I’m not always fond if their opinions) are pretty staunchly on the “Nuclear war is the worst thing that could ever occur and we must do everything in our power to halt it from occurring.”
My mother is optimistic about my generation, perhaps being born in the core has given me a pessimism she doesn’t share, but I see the reality where our world is wiped out in a nuclear hellfire to be scarily more possible every day.
All it takes is the truama from collapsing empire to delude US citizens enough into taking the literal nuclear option. I guess it’s a race of whatever snaps first, an unmanageable portion of the American psyches or the faith in capitalism.
Exactly, and it doesn’t help that billionaires think they can escape the consequences by hiding in their bunkers.
a single fucking second
lmfao
Bullshit clock. The world is getting more peaceful now. China is becoming strong, so we’ll see a multipolar world in a few years
Are you suggesting the waning imperial core will go gentle into that good night? Because history suggests otherwise.
With China type of diplomacy, it will go as smooth as possible
I like China as much as the next guy but their international diplomacy has always been their biggest weakness. Lots of “concern” and “urging” but nothing substantive.
the usa after china diplomacies its way into global dominance: “guess i’ll die now”
Yankeestan is sitting on a lot of nukes though, and it’s becoming increasingly unhinged by the day.
