part 3: A-country and B-country, and why it sucks to be in either, the guy gets pretty weird and speculative at the end and frankly thats where he starts to lose me because there's a lot of ways things can break and a lot of ways for it to be put back together, but i generally agree that if the birds fly then you'd better have guns and clean rations in the country or life will Suck Bigly. even moreso, i mean.


so yeah that got a little fanfictiony toward the end there, but i think the general points he makes about targeting priorities and what warheads will be aimed where are fairly sound.


It doesn't seem that fanfictiony. Just follows naturally from the assumptions about what the nuclear exchange would destroy and hte assumption that population maintenance would be a top priority

i don't think there's anything natural in that sexual analysis at all, except that its insanely naturally predictable that a guy who spent his career in lightless underground bunkers around other dudes would think its natural that women suddenly being the most important people on earth in an existential sense would be naturally dominated, overlooking the documented cultural reasons that was not the case in cultures touched by abrahamic religions where the primary artificial means of population control where plague and famine failed to do the job was bitter disputes over whether God was a faceted entity or a singular one.
