    1. america probably would have been invaded by now if it didn’t have nukes

    2. “[country] would have been invaded if not for nukes” isn’t a good enough argument to support the continued existence of nukes

    like sure it’s cool if the DPRK having nukes puts the u.s. off from invading them but i would rather nobody have nukes if that fantasy were something that could be made possible

    i wouldn’t be surprised if the collective psychological effect of the world existing in this way were comparable to fucking leaded gasoline, being under a constant baseline anxiety of annihilation is not good for the brain




  • there are a lot of old left-wing ideologies and shit that are focused on that sort of shit

    it’s been forever since I’ve read about them but like look up the Cincinnati Time Store and Josiah Warren and people like him. I think the ideology i’m thinking of is left-wing market anarchism? or I think that’s what it was called 10 years ago when I was a Nerd who Reads but the wiki page doesn’t seem to exist anymore (there’s just “market anarchism” which seems to include anarcho-capitalism).

    if you’re wondering “what’s the difference” my answer is “I don’t really remember” but I think LWMA, as opposed to anarcho-capitalism, recognizes the incredible inherent flaws to a system that allows for unlimited private capital ownership, i.e. they were against shit like some oligarch 10000 miles away in England or California or whatever owning capital where you live and telling you and your community what to do with it, but they wanted to encourage limited, local private property ownership and entrepreneurship, etc

    before anyone @s me like this is my ideology, it’s not, just thought it was relevant (if I’m even remembering it properly).

    P.s. the Cincinnati Time Store was cool IMO, basically Josiah Warren opened it up and traded for labor notes and only charged a slight mark-up on goods to cover the cost of stocking and running the place, and apparently not only was it financially successful it also sold goods at lower costs than competitors
