Imagine finding that people your own age ignored it too, like they're doing right now.
Imagine seeing this and not immediately going full Avalanche blowing up reactors n shit...
Reactors would be helpful in this situation honestly. They only emit steam
Like the ffvii reference, don't like your hippie lib attitude. Downvote
Yeah nuclear isnt the immediate or root problem here.
Note that the "reactors" are, in-game, energy plants that convert literal life force into electricity.

I like Joshua's answer here. The mental gymnastics is insane
I really don't see how slaying the planet in a magical way is so different than slaughtering the planet in a greedy astroturfing way? After giving mass ff7 lore he just convulse into rants about how bad antifa is and nobody even asked. The megacorps and their lobbyists ARE killing our planet and using faschism and world order war.. the fucking boreal is our Mako. If they burn, similarly no new soul will be born.
He also wraps it up with a bit of climate denial, so he thinks the real problem is imaginary.
Extra mental gymnastics as he interpreted reports of significantly improved pollution when we shut down everything as proof, somehow, that humanity didn't really make that much of a difference... So either a difference is observed and that means it's the rest of the way reversible so it can't be that big of a deal or no difference would've been seen and he would have concluded humanity must not make a difference because no difference was seen..
Wow, I couldn't get through that... Feel like it's a sign of some mental issues to produce that much word diarrhea in a Quora answer...
But yeah, "the bombings in the game and their collateral damage including death of civilians are good, but you know what is truly evil? Some people that mostly just hold up protest signs and stand around protesting Trump."
Sorry the actual discourse hasnt risen above the level of thirty year old video games, it's really hard to tell sometimes.
