Keep talking about this, Caitlin; the lack of official dialogue concerning nuclear annihilation is chilling.

At least when I was a kid it colored so much of my consciousness. The Cuban Missile Crisis scared the shit out of everybody. No one seems frightened today, and no one in charge wants us frightened. Frightened of the unvaxxed, yes; frightened of white supremacists and Russian bot farms, but not about nuclear war. Strange, is it not?

If feel like we're still in high school, but surrounded by kids possessing unlimited money and power.

I love your comment about the conformity-policing on the online left. You're spot-on, and their behavior is often that of a religious cult. Only information that comes from a list of "reliable sources," said sources picked by the Democratic Party elites, can even be discussed. Other sources are to be shunned and shamed, as are those who cite them.

The story doesn't matter; only the source.

For as much as they claim to despise such behavior by the old Puritans, they are certainly acting like them now in calling for and attempting to enforce censorship of anything that doesn't fit their narrative of the day.
