Nuclear weapons can silence armies, of course. And it makes many think they are safe.

But unfortunately grief does not recognize deterrence, and vengeance does not calculate strategic balance.

What is called ‘security’ often shields only the very powerful in your country while leaving your lower societies trapped in cycles of resentment.

You can have nuclear power and you will still have death.

It is self-destructive to be silent and watching. Thinking you're safe while someone else is paying the price.

It is just a matter of time.

What goes around does come around but it is not an intentional fair game. Some sort of a just mechanism in the background. The cost will not be paid equally. It is chaotic rage and it doesn't care that you think you're safe.

It is easy to preach love and forgiveness when it is not your turn to suffer, yet.

The issue is we have high narcissistic qualities among our population. Narcissists often idolize people like Hitler and the strong man image.

So even if a narc or partially narc-adjacent people were poor, they often internalize their own issues and see the rich as something to idolize. They say things like dog eat dog world etc because it's the only way they relate to the world.

The issue is that many poor people are like this.

Our nation is very influencer driven, unrelated but I've seen people toss out entire food pantries because an influencer convinced them to. So we have a few issues like that.

@SatanBurger It is a description that fits globally.

A lot of people pretend to have control because admitting otherwise implies having to process the related fear.

More than that, distractions are everywhere, easy to access and intentionally sought out.
