I think this is my biggest frustration with people who ask me what stocks I'm short to indicate that I think the "AI boom" is likely to fully destroy society. If I thought Biden was going to usher in a nuclear Armageddon, there's no way to indicate that to markets because any position I take only pays out if I believe there will be the global financial infrastructure to pay it out. The only position I could take is going long nuclear fallout shelters, and that's only if I think life in a bunker is superior to seeing the mushroom cloud myself while wearing a cowboy hat, drinking bourbon and listening to country and western, and saying quietly to no-one in particular "happy trails, partner." Plus who can afford enough land to build a proper shelter anyway?

I'm told the only correct position in such situations is to put one's head between their knees and kiss their ass goodbye.

Reminds me of this ad from 2002 for Tribes Aerial Assault.

Oh man, such a good game.

If i had a nuclear shelter (honestly I'd settle for tornado) stocked to keep me going for 30+ years, I'd just lock the door today. Since I don't, I'm leaning towards hedonism and living more short term excess while riding the line of long term stability.

I know it's three years old but the companies are Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Rules

  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

  7. No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.
