The Soviets Made A Real Doomsday Device In The '80s And The Russians Still Have It Today
If you want a doomsday device to function as a way to frighten would-be attackers into not attacking you, they have to know the device exists. Secrecy renders the whole point moot. That is, unless the purpose of the device is not as clear as it would seem.Read how Dead Hand worked (or works) at Foxtrot Alpha.
Dead Hand, it turns out, may not have been primarily a deterrent against the Americans launching a nuclear attack against the Soviets, but rather was a Soviet-built safeguard to prevent themselves from launching a nuclear attack unnecessarily.
Internet Trolls
These sad little souls get a thrill out of making others feel bad or uncomfortable online, and even though most of them wouldn't have the cojones to say that vile crap IRL online they're fearless Internet Warriors. (NSFW language)
The Internet Warriors is a short documentary created for The Guardian by director Kyrre Lien, who traveled all over the world to speak to trolls in their own caves and find out what makes them troll so hard:
Why do so many people use the internet to harass and threaten people, and stretch the freedom of speech to its limits? …Online platforms are their favorite tools to express the opinions that others might find objectionable in language that often offends. Do they behave in the same way when they come offline?
***
We here know well these trolls - Sad, pathetic little wastes of carbon that they are.The overwhelming majority of whom are illiterate wingnuts (Hey, the world does not laugh at their 'proper' spelling you know.) projecting their delusions and peccadilloes onto everyone else while self deluding themselves that they are normal and the rest are not.
