had to learn that some US americans still justify the use of atomic bombs in japan. are you.. serious?
my history teacher in switzerland tried to twist it in such a way so its use seemed inevitable, so i get how ppl get stuck in that narrative at a young age. but srsly, how come you're not immediately skeptical whenever someone tries to justify fucking nuclear warfare?
this is terrifying. but propaganda only exists in north korea apparently https://twitter.com/chuck_huber/status/1348812473382658057
i need to say that by "some" i mean ppl closer to my circle of followings more specifically. i can imagine ppl outside leftist circles being far more in favor of it
"invasion would've killed more people" seems to be their nr 1 argument
ok seems i'm not the only one outside of the US to have been taught this. so far i've seen someone from germany and australia having learned similar stories in the replies. it's wild how far that narrative stretches
well, this is not good https://twitter.com/rotarycup/status/1349008063093743618
this is pretty fucked up if you ask me https://www.google.ch/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/future-perfect/2019/6/26/18750566/nuclear-war-polling-americans-support-civilian-deaths
Americans are terrifyingly supportive of nuking civilians in North Korea

A new survey finds that a third of Americans embrace a nuclear strike that would kill a million people.

1/3rd would support nuking 1 mio ppl to death. this planet is gonna explode soon if we don't do anything about this
public opinion is where we can have the most influence, we can't trust those idiots in power anyway. so pls, whenever the topic comes up, try to convert at least one person into an anti nuclear warfare (&anti-war) proponent. our lives & planet depend on it https://www.google.ch/amp/s/m.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL2008/S00071/dropping-atomic-bombs-on-hiroshima-and-nagasaki-was-unnecessary.htm
