...and it my practice not to consider rote antinukes in that class of human beings, any more than I consider the closely related antivaxxers in that category, the temporal distance between those related events, and the quality of those lives in terms of health and experience in that temporal distance, matters.

To my disgust, I note that antinukes don't give a flying fuck who dies from anything, so long as humanity suffers under the weight of their rather idiotic paranoia related to radioactive things, irrespective of the physiological and related ethical outcomes.

Like I say, antinukes couldn't give a rat's ass how many people die each year from air pollution, so long as they can burn coal, oil and gas to run computers to wail about Fukushima.

If you ask one of these moral midgit gnomes how many people died from exposure to Fukushima radiation in the last eleven years, they generally decline to answer, change the subject or otherwise demonstrate their oppressive disconnection from reality.

In general, as stated, I regard these people with contempt. Their stupidity is nothing short of Trumpian.

I hope I'm being clear.

Have a nice weekend.
