unless you have something to show for it
We have something to show for it - total disdain for death.
You know who should be afraid of nuclear annihilation? Politicians, with their Swiss bank accounts, villas and luxury wh0res; and the multi-billionaire "elites" who are pulling the strings. If nuclear war ever happens, they will
either die or be forced to live like rats under ground. In any case, they will lose most of their wealth and there will be nobody to admire and envy them, because all the poor people will be dead. :) What do ordinary people have to lose? Their mundane dead-end jobs? Their mortgages and car payments? Their numerous duties, eating away at them while the rich party on their superyachts? Their future diet of genetically modified worms?
F*CK IT. Nuclear annihilation would be a blessing for 99% of the world's population, and in addition it would give us the satisfaction of knowing that the rich c*nts will be wiped out as well.
They have everything to lose, not we. That's the downside of 1% of population exploiting the remaning 99% - the 99% will eventually say f*ck it. :)
Bring it on, Volodya!
