Yes. Always have been. Doomsday clock inches ever closer every year. People keep their heads in the sand and think authoritarian rulers are the way to go. Putin could very likely be the one to take us there someday.

@brokensignal well you cant blame one who press the button, creator is also responsible, even the followers and so is the opposition. Every one of us are responsible

@Mystical Um- No … I’m pretty sure you CAN blame the one who pushes the button. Just like when someone pulls the trigger of a gun and kills somebody they go to prison. Can you put some of the blame on humanity at large? The creators of guns? Sure… You can ascribe a percentage of blame to society and the larger moral failures of people who could have helped that person not become a murderer. But you still call the one who committed the crime a murderer. Just like you’d call any authoritarian ruler who pushed that button and destroyed the world a total monster and a tyrant.
