    The chances of an atomic catastrophe are low but they aren’t zero

    Have these folks not checked the clock lately?

      I mean, the “doomsday clock” is not some sort of objective measurement of anything, isn’t it mostly just based on the vibes of what I can only assume are a bunch of western liberals and their associated biases?

      I don’t see why we as communists should pay it any attention at all tbh

      Edit: I haven’t even bothered to look into this before because the whole concept just seemed completely unserious, but it appears my assumption was right: https://thebulletin.org/about-us/science-and-security-board/

      “Ivy League” academics, US State Department, Homeland Security, Department of Defense, ex Obama admin staffers, NGO’s, the entire hall of fame lol
