I knew exactly what he was going to say because @rickperlstein.bsky.social wrote a really harrowing acocunt of these clowns years ago. Just the most giant horrorshow

When he asked “how do you defend this” my mind went to morally how can you defend doing something selfish and foolish like this 😣 but no, he meant hoarding, wastefulness, and guns

I bet people ask if they have wi-fi.

Exactly. I read ON THE BEACH as a kid. I also saw the movie. Not to mention FAIL-SAFE. Check, please! 😵

I think you nailed it with lack of imagination. They've never thought beyond their own immediate desires.

All I can think of when I see "pool in a nuclear bunker" is an exceptionally bleak part of the already exceptionally bleak LEVEL 7 by Mordecai Roshwald. It's a dream sequence, and absolutely equal to the main character's world. (still need to read TERMUSH and MALEVIL, though).

If I’m over 50 when shit goes down I’m going “it was a good life, peace out”

Hilarious! (the lifeguards have all been incinerated above ground, no doubt, oh well)

That’s about when I read it. So for these people is Silo a cautionary tale or a guide?
