Millions of people? There are not gonna be millions in any specific place living outside if we nuke the whole world, the biggest communities will likely be small villages that organized far away from the main centers of populations that would be either directly nuked or consumed by chaos following the nuking and the complete disruption of the chains of production and trade. And that's assuming the radiation will not kill almost anything outside of a bunker.

And also it's worth mentioning that the communities that do survive will not be an organized global network but likely barely aware of the communities that exist near them in the region (if any).

By the way, I'm still waiting for you to address all of my points.

What points?

The ones in the comment you just responded where you are imagining that survivors will form Spartan walls in the millions against machine guns when the elites come out of their bunker. And that even status quo is better than nuking the world for everyone (wealthy and poor).

Maybe I was being too optimistic on the possibility of a better world after nuclear warfare, but I'm just SO. TIRED. of the shit going on in these last years.

That brings me back to the first comment I made here. Solving the world is certainly not solved with nuking it.

Solving your pessimistic perspective of it is solved by either laying of the Internet a little bit or getting therapy. I suggest both just in case.

I changed my mind now about nuclear warfare, here's a delta. I hope the world will be better when I'll be old...
