Title. Just a thought experiment, nothing else

I know that, I just want to know what you guys think the fallout will beMaking a nuclear bomb is actually pretty easy.
The hardest part is finding enriched uranium because u need shittons of uranium even for a small amounts and you need to process it somehow.
If u can figure that out u can be a nuclear terrorist.
I think it's gonna happen eventually.
The US would have no choice but to turn into a fascist police state in order to prevent future incidentsI think it's gonna happen eventually.

I mean the science behind it is pretty well known by now.

He wasn't a domestic terrorist that detonated one.Oppenheimer was incel
He was based as fckOppenheimer was incel
This is a cope because if you nuke Manhattan, you wouldn’t end degeneracy.You have to nuke western and jewish cities in general to end degeneracy

That's why it's a thought experiment of what could happen if the US was caught flat-footedYou need to get a nuke first. For most it's impossible to get.
Not much would happen but it would be very funnyThat's why it's a thought experiment of what could happen if the US was caught flat-footed

Greatly overrated.Not even considering the long term economic consequences
I am not well versed on economics, but since economic recessions and even depressions are in large part caused by psychological factors such as consumer confidence and sense of security, inflicting such a huge psychological blow to that (Most on the Forbes 400 dead or bankrupt, millions of dead civilians and tourists) will damage the economy regardless of any material economic fundamentalsGreatly overrated.
Manhattan is just some buildings where rich people meet each others to talk about stuff.
Factories wont be touched.
Construction sites wont be touched.
Mines and fields wont be touched.
CIA/FBI HQs wont be touched.
No army base will be touched.
The only thing that will change is that the gov will become more authoritarian and a surveillance state, but that will happen anyway. Such a terrorist attack would just give them an excuse to enact their plan a bit faster.

As for the gov becoming a surveillance state, that is by no means an inevitability for the foreseeable future despite the hand wringing of many anti-Trump liberals and libertarians. The US is protected by two giant moats and is the most geopolitically safe country on the planet. Part of the reason why it could engage in expensive and wasteful foreign adventures in backwater regions of the world and also why the Post 9/11 increase in domestic surveillance is still not as stringent on the comparative level as say, the UK
Obviously, if Manhattan was nuked by domestic terrorists, the current political trajectory of the US will change and an American Police State will enter the realm of possibility
Yea the stock market would crash but who cares ? The things that really matter wont be much affected. Food and housing and energy will still be produce with little to no difference.I am not well versed on economics, but since economic recessions and even depressions are in large part caused by psychological factors such as consumer confidence and sense of security, inflicting such a huge psychological blow to that (Most on the Forbes 400 dead or bankrupt, millions of dead civilians and tourists) will damage the economy regardless of any material economic fundamentals
Im neither a liberal nor a libertarian but it already is a surveillance state. Part directly through the gov but also they outsourced the work to private companies like Meta.As for the gov becoming a surveillance state, that is by no means an inevitability for the foreseeable future despite the hand wringing of many anti-Trump liberals and libertarians.
I have no clue what that meansThe US is protected by two giant moats
Sure, but that like saying being a double amputee is fine cause ur not a quadruple amputeestill not as stringent on the comparative level as say, the UK
Are you sure about libertarians? Trump freed their idol Ross; I don't see valid libertarian movement emerging either, only controlled opposition.What do you guys think will happen?
@DarthBurritoBastard (when he's back) @pedrolopezwasright @Castaway
Technological progress leads to police states; How could they control people without it becoming reality? You already can print weapons on ender pro. Without total control this generation will grow up as rightful opposition to despots. Therefore as I don't consider myself as neo-luddite anymore, I'm all for police state which will work on raw logic.I am not well versed on economics, but since economic recessions and even depressions are in large part caused by psychological factors such as consumer confidence and sense of security, inflicting such a huge psychological blow to that (Most on the Forbes 400 dead or bankrupt, millions of dead civilians and tourists) will damage the economy regardless of any material economic fundamentals

It is, but execution is pretty fucked. Such state would be able to control everything. Instead it is limited to catching big targets and fucking up with seeing a big picture. Overgeneralised approach to spying on people fails always it is trying to emerge in pseudo-democratic country such as US. North Korea for example never needed such transformation for example, therefore isn't a valid approach in US.Im neither a liberal nor a libertarian but it already is a surveillance state.
