I would, with mine.
My timeline is:
Born in ‘89 Toddler/Child in 90s Teenager in 00s’ Young Adult in '10s Adult late '10s to present.
I’d want mine altered so that it’d be:
Born in ‘70 Toddler/Child in 70s Teenager in 80s Young Adult in 90s Adult in 00s’
And by now I’d probably be closing in on my 50s.
Seventies baby here. We worried a lot about nuclear war, but the threat of nuclear war is probably greater now than it was then. It just doesn’t crack the top ten anymore. That’s how incredibly fucked everything is.
It is higher now than ever according to experts, but our government and our corporate media prefer not to prioritize the issue.
I’m not sure any of that means it’s any more likely to happen than before, but what do I know?
Probably for the best. Most of us die if there is a nuclear war, so just don’t even think about it. But live your life now.
I don’t think the world can prioritize something and the threat will go away.
I remember the fear mongering of the Cold War, the ozone layer depleting, and the AIDS epidemic.
Times were simpler back then, but I don’t think they were necessarily better.
