I take the whole nuclear conflagration thing a lot less seriously than I should these days. It's drummed up a lot by the antiwar left in the imperial core countries, along with the psychological health of veterans, and the national debt. I just can't take the atomic clock seriously knowing it's used to pressure against nuclear proliferation that is more likely to restrain the USA than anything.

But yeah personally I think the simplest path for a lot of people is save up money and move out of the increasingly risky US system rather than pouring money into the US housing market (which is unfortunately the same direction the social democrat wage struggle heads). It's personally fraught and generationally insane, I wouldn't condemn a child to the US so uhhh yeah I just left lol
