The US is the only country in the world that has used nuclear weapons on a populace, they were cities, full of civilians, and the US did it twice! The US is literally the one single country in the whole world that, more than anyone else, should not have nuclear weapons, and yet it wants us to think that it should be allowed to act as the arbiter (is that the right word?) of who is and isn’t allowed to have nukes. The whole rest of the world basically only even needs nukes in the first place specifically to protect itself against the US (and it’s vassal states that it sometimes considers using nuclear weapons through as a proxy).

I sincerely hope that Iran wises up and beelines for nukes as soon as possible, the DPRK has already proven how effective it is in making the US demon think twice before bombing and/or invading you. And even besides the point, as a sovereign country it is fully in Iran’s right to make nuclear weapons at their own leisure anyways, The US acts like it owns the planet.

I say this from experience when I say, don’t underestimate how thoroughly well built the many layers of mind colonizing traps constructed by the combination of censorship and propaganda in the US is, that one is swimming in from birth to death, and is built into everything you see, hear, read, learn, watch, whether it’s education, entertainment, news of other things, and thanks to generations of it, even word of mouth, what your parents believe and tell you, what their parents told them, the books you are likely to have been exposed too, and on and on. There is no such thing as evil, it is a word based in a metaphysics and/or idealist view of reality IE the polar opposite of Dialectical and Historical Materialism, people are the result of the conditions of their environment, their society, garbage toxic countries produce garbage toxic people, it isn’t mechanically exact for the same as it is with predicting the weather, so there are more variables than one can account for there will always be the exception to the rule, but the primary aspect of a system has the greatest significance. Put another way, even so called “choice” doesn’t escape the Dialectical and Historical Materialist nature of reality, making it only matter if one is willfully ignorant or normally ignorant as to how difficult and in what way one would go about correcting said ignorant person. From my own experience, busting through the wall of bullshit and lies one is fed there whole lives can feel like a grueling thing, like as if one was pushing against an irrational wall of paranoia and fear in one’s own mind to reorientate one’s worldview on new information that goes against the old and well ingrained prior one, unfortunately not everyone is prepared for this grueling journey of self improvement, and due to the nature of the system, of liberalism, if they don’t, they sleep walk right into fascism with out even realizing it. It does mean that for most it isn’t intentional, but what matters is the result of it, by calling it a choice it is easier to pass judgement, but judgement doesn’t help one learn to understand it’s nature so that one can more effectively fight it, judgement makes it easy condemn the fascist, which needs to happen anyways, but it does so in a manner that also limits one’s effective ability to counter it overall, for that one needs a more grounded view that doesn’t depend on incorrect moralist thinking.

As the contradictions of Capitalism grow worse, more will be forced to rethink things even if they don’t want to, disillusionment is useful to Communists and it makes people more willing to listen and learn, but it is also useful to fascists as that goes both ways, people don’t have some magical bullshit detector for misinformation can end up looking like information and vise versa, so those of us that already know better need to educate those willing to listen or the rule of the day of Capitalism in decline will be Fascism instead of Communism, Barbarism instead of Socialism, suffering and death for no worth while purpose instead of much less of it for the purpose of finally ending it. (Revolution is less violent then Capitalism, but is more concentrated in space and time, so it can appear bigger, like an illusion of sorts)

Do you mean they’re all removed?
