where to start?

using nuclear weapons in an overt act of war on its own citizens is a stretch, i'll grant that. however my point was more that in the manufacture of nuclear weapons (and for making electricity) the government has no problem whatsoever poisoning its citizens. my point further is the mere manufacture of said weapons is an act of disregard for life in general, regardless of citizenship. countless lives have already been killed to just make the weapons without having to use them in their intended weaponized form.

i do not live in fear of having nuclear bombs dropped on me, no, but it is exceedingly shortsighted to count on the morality of the government to not do what it has already done, if by other means.

i am not living in fear or demoralized by the depravity of government, i am only realistic as to what they are willing to do and it seems they are willing to do anything. a glance at history will show this.

this is what Fredy Perlman was getting at in AHAL, how do we fight leviathan without becoming leviathan? leviathan has no limits in their use of power, we would do well not to forget this.
