Well, there are still villains like Lex Luthor, Kingpin and Amanda Waller to represent the actually evil part of society. They’re just a minority because goofy over-the-top villains in silly costumes are more entertaining for the kids.

Thank you, fellow connoiseur of fine music.

There’s one called Andromeda. It’s still in closed beta. I didn’t get in :(

Oh, did Peru drop any nukes in Japan? That’s news to me.

Sure, buddy. Whatever helps you to sleep at night.

You’re arguing in bad faith. My entire argument is about the proportion between the people who did die and the people who could have died, so how can anyone make that argument while forgetting one of the two groups and focusing only on the other? A proportion implies both groups.

The claim was that “the bomb probably saved more lives than it killed”. Not that it was necessary to make the Japanese surrender. Mutually assured destruction via nuclear warheads is what kept the Cold War cold. Who knows how many people would have died all over the world if the USSR and the USA went into direct armed conflict?

Maybe it’d have been less than the victims of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, though I doubt it. My point is that there’s no way of knowing.

The truth is we can’t know for sure. There’s no way to look into an alternative timeline to see what the Cold War would have been like without nukes as deterrents.

@Zirconium said “probably” and you flat out called it a lie, so you’re more wrong than they are.

Joke’s on you, I used math to exponentiate my last 12 cents by hyperbolic paraboloid and now I’m a billionaire.
