Fun fact, all the pro-nuclear bullshit you hear is just regurgitated nuclear lobbying propaganda.

The only reason nuclear has such a following is because people (almost always men) think they think they're in the know. It's unironically very typical of how the alt-right pipeline starts. People think they're being given all this "truth" about nuclear and now they're knowledgeable about stuff that other people aren't aware of or that other people are believing the "mainstream" thought about. It also helps that nuclear followers see themselves as edgy. It's a perfect rabbit hole for these people who are easily influenced to fall down.
