Is this a symbolic clock for the end of the world or the fall of Amerikkka? Because I don't understand it anymore.
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.
