Depends on what you value. I'm sure others will have a different opinion -- I emphasize opinion.
In a nuclear war, I expect to be dead. To misuse an old saying, "better dead than red", which one can interpret anyway they like -- including changing it to "better red than dead". Just opinions in this case.
I don't see all of humanity being wiped out by anything other than another asteroid. I might even survive nuclear war if I happen to be in the right place at the right time.
But a nation that is totally controlled, with no thoughts other than the approved thoughts, yep, that's scarier to me.
As I said, an opinion. So of course it is "all about me" that's what an opinion is.
"I might even survive nuclear war if I happen to be in the right place at the right time." Knowing that so many share that opinion to me makes it scarier than a West Point for bureaucrats.
As far as living in a country with no thoughts but approved thoughts, looks like we're heading there regardless. Pretty bleak options, right?
While not exactly on subject, but IMHO even scarier...
Opinion: Does the U.S. need a West Point for tech-savvy civil servants?

Scarier than nuclear war?
IMHO yes.

This isn't all about you, John. Lol In a nuclear war we're likely all dead, including my cat. Please think of Squitters if not the rest of us.
