idk if this is a bad take but everyone talking both ironically and unironically about "world war 3" comes off as kind of a callous dipshit

nothing like either of the world wars re: total mobilization is a thing that really happens anymore at all much less to like, the united states in the 21st century and making that analogy discounts the actual asymmetries in methods & impacts of the way war is fought today

Respectfully, I think a lot of jokes are being made by young people who don’t have another way to cope with the sheer insanity of this all. We raised a generation of ironic nihilists who have seen stupid wars, a ravaged climate; who can blame them for memeing through apocalypse?

i think the whole “this generation has seen too much” thing is mostly valid esp when it’s used as a rhetorical tool to effect change but i don’t ageee with giving adults an excuse to ride the hyperbole meme wave without first shutting up and trying to educate themselves

came for the snarky tech humor and hookup jokes, stayed for the sober and cogent international affairs commentary
