strange.. , the other 3 posts in this 🧵 didn't send. I noticed that it also didn't enable the unsend feature on this one either. Maybe a bug. Nothing saved to drafts. Just gone.

I think everyone -- including me sometimes -- looks at Fukoshima and goes: Just a matter of time until we lose control of another one.
There will be an earthquake, a mistake, a hurricane, a terrorist attack -- something.
I don't understand the risk profile, admittedly.

Because the point is not to have safe, clean energy, the point is to overthrow capitalism comrades.

Much as with other poorly regulated markets - housing, healthcare, education - the trick is to regulate the markets in such a way as to make it impossible for them to function and then blame "capitalism" as the cause.
