Yeh I get it. It can be cathartic to be sarcastic and snippy to liberals, but unhelpful. Especially since most people who self identify as liberals are not ideologically firm neoliberal capitalists, just people with vaguely humanist ideals that don't know all the right terminology. That's where we alll were at one point, but some stranger on the internet gettimg pissy because someone hasnt read enough theory doesn't make them want to learn more or organize with people.
Be as snippy and mean as you want to people who are firm in their shitty beliefs. Like neoliberal politicians, landlords, neo nazis, etc. Not workers trying to make rent.
I agree with a lot of the posts here. It can be great to relax, but try not to use it as a crutch. I'm this way with alcohol. I don't reccomend shaming yourself for your vices and coping mechanisms, but look closely at what it's doing to you and try to keep it under control. Set rules, arbitrary as they may have to be, to make sure you can improve your life and enjoy it while you do it. Maybe workout, volunteer, or work on a hobby first. Maybe as simple as no weed on weeknights and/or during the day. If you break the rules you set, don't feel ashamed, just acknowledge it and move forward. Some people when trying to improve their habits will "break a streak" then feel like they failed and give up.
Fair that the cities were worse, but the islands were not uninhabited. The people there were evacuated (they were told temporarily) and the place they were evacuated to was still within the fallout zone. A lot of people died pretty much immediately and they're still dealing with increased cancer and birth defects today.
This was when these weapons were fairly new, and what little information we had about them was not given to the people of these people before they were pressured into allowing their islands to be testing grounds.
