Bombs away!

I think too often we are desensitized to the crazy shit humans do. Or we think too small scale. But it’s important to acknowledge, confront, and take responsibility for the INCREDIBLY INSANE stuff that humans do. And more specifically, the horrid ideas that Governments promote in the name of peace, justice, loving thy neighbor (of the right nationality of course), etc. The hydrogen bomb is nationalism taken to its logical conclusion, and it’s worth considering how that reflects on all of us.

As for the scientists involved, or the idea that this somehow represents science: if I could, I would spit on the men (and occasional woman) who were involved in these ventures. To think that this is a productive use of our knowledge or that somehow humans would be made more safe through the existence of planet-destroying weapons is twisted and grotesque.

American Propaganda! The First H Bomb Test is called a great achievement for science.

The first British H Bomb. Like the US, the British thought that small Pacific Island nations were totally worth ruining.

The Chinese have no love for the Uyghurs, which is why they used their region as a testing ground. And also why they killed a bunch of them recently.

Of course the USSR was very involved in the world wide stupidity and managed to contribute the largest bomb ever detonated.
