    Dictionary knows only the meaning of isolated words. They have no ground to stand on.

    They could have asked why there are nuclear threats. At some point OP would have to admit that the sky is not woke enough and that more non-binary fuss is needed.

    Haven’t we all just been living under constant nuclear threat since we were basically born? It’s kind of hard to be anxious about it since it’s basically the background radiation we’ve been told not to prioritize or think too much about since we were kids but I would wager each one of us has a nebulous and ill defined “in case of bomb” plan.

    Im pretty sure we still ARE under nuclear threat now that Russia decided to go invading again and that the US has a fascist dictatorship rolling up.

    I’m a leftist GenX whose served aboard 3 nuclear submarines, over a 20 year career. Ive slept between ballistic nuclear missiles, on top of torpedoes, mines, and tomahawk missiles early in my career, but later, switched to a standard bed (rack) on the boats…can I reflect and make a fuss?

    Well it’s pretty clear to me he’s going for an allegory here, where cuban missiles become tweets and, for some reason, the sky becomes woke.

    It’s weird how the people that have always been against drugs are the people on drugs.

    The duality of republicans. Be scared of Russia nuking us over Ukraine to lick their boot, but also belittle gen z for not living through the cold war, while also starting a cold war with China.

        Welcome back from the coma. The current year is 2025. You will have to look up the word “tariff” because it’s no longer some stupid old timey tax.

          what do tariffs have to do with the cold war? the marking experience of the cold war was proxy war with actual troops. there is nobody invading China or sponsoring rebels

            Ah, I forgot you were in a coma. I also need you to read about 10 years of history about military escalation in the South China Sea. Also the Himalayas.
