The #Oppenheimer movie is a triumph of the American narrative of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A story entirely told from the perpetrator's perspective. No voice of the victim. An obsession with the brilliance of manufacturing weapons of mass destruction. #Hiroshima #Nagasaki #nuclear #ManhattanProject @histodons #histodons https://www.counterpunch.org/2020/08/06/the-american-narrative-of-hiroshima-is-a-statue-that-must-be-toppled/

"It's in your teeth. Your eyes and your brain too. Scientists call it the "bomb spike" (or "bomb pulse") – and for more than half a century its signature has been present inside the human body.In the 1950s, there were so many nuclear bomb explosions above ground that it transformed the chemical make-up of the atmosphere – altering the carbon composition of life on Earth ever since, along with oceans, sediments, stalactites and more."#nuclear #fallout #NuclearWeapons #radiation #ColdWar @histodons #Anthropocene https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20230808-atomic-bomb-spike-carbon-radioactive-body-anthropocene

Trump does not know how many nuclear weapons the US or Russia possess, nor the rate of weapon manufacturing of China. Give that man the nuclear codes!

First they came for the people who remember the rest of this quote. Not sure how it went from there, but basically, they came for everyone.

My article about how survival narratives in #ColdWar America used stories of personal survival to justify the genocidal choice of nuclear war fighting by the national government. >Survival of self rather than of sustainable community<“'There Are No Civilians; We Are All at War': Nuclear War Shelter and Survival Narratives during the Early Cold War"@sts @histodons #nuclear #NuclearWar #CivilDefense https://www.researchgate.net/publication/229515727_There_Are_No_Civilians_We_Are_All_at_War_Nuclear_War_Shelter_and_Survival_Narratives_during_the_Early_Cold_War

@SFRuminations @sts @histodons I appreciate the framing. I'd be proud to have contirbuted in any way to those important works. We tend to focus on the civil defense materials of that time in terms of their "camp" value. I read them as much more sinister. Perhaps you would be interested in this article about "Duck and Cover" and "Atomic Alert." For me the CD materials aimed at children had a profound and existential effect."Atomic Kids: Duck and Cover and Atomic Alert Teach American Children How to Survive Atomic Attack"https://www.researchgate.net/publication/236749496_Atomic_Kids_Duck_and_Cover_and_Atomic_Alert_Teach_American_Children_How_to_Survive_Atomic_Attack
