  • I don’t think it’s wise to normalize the use of nuclear weapons by saying it will be business as usual for passenger flights.

    We’ve seen how normalizing illegal invasions and occupations leads to genocide. We’ve seen how stripping away personal freedoms leads to authoritarian rule.

    The use of nuclear weapons, even tactical warheads, will break the taboo that has been in place since 1945 and will encourage other actors to use them. Unleashing a chain of events which may very well end civilization.

    Fascism is underpinned by nationalism, mass mobilization and the institutions of the nation state, concepts which didn’t emerge until the early 19th century.

    Monarchy is based on feudalism, where an elite own land and appoint a hereditary ruler who frequently claims divine right.

    Fascism and monarchy both rely on absolute authority but they’re products of different eras.
