A few years ago there was a site going around that would simulate nuclear strikes anywhere you wanted with different payloads. learned I’d be instantly disintegrated if my city was attacked by a nuke and I’m kind of okay with that knowledge. I don’t want to survive through radiation poisoning or nuclear fallout after the bombs fall.

I always have been a bit into the prepper mentality, but it does smells very fishy when it is not talked by individuals or small communities but rather organized from the top-down nation-states… The reason is because the former us driven by a “just in case” theme while the other is “preparing the population for war”; Both are very different in nature, one is purely defensive while the other is always coupled with strong offensive measures, not to mention it also polarizes people into war-like environment and censorship of dissidents.
