@HeerJeet I retweeted a thread today abt this, but the main difference btwn THT and Mad Max is rebellion, not circumstance.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Both are set in violent, post-apocalyptic patriarchies. THT is about what happens when men prefer fascism to chaos.

When people say THT is only better if you're a man, that's what they mean. At least in Mad Max, someone is fighting back.

In the context of analogy, point is Trump much likelier to start nuclear war.

Then your comparison falls apart on its face. In THT, nuclear war is the final impetus for establishing Gilead.

And that wasn't your point anyway. Your original point was that given a choice, THT's destruction of rights is easier to undo than Mad Max's

My point was Trump was more likely to start a nuclear war, which would do damage impossible to undo (as against Pence's remaking of laws)

It's amazing how you can't see that the Russia "scandal" being true is totally incompatible with the notion Trump could start a nuclear war.

Because Russia is the only nation USA could go to war with?

Of all potential world-ending nuclear conflicts, war with Russia is the most dangerously imminent and you know it.
