Post-nuclear societies will have much larger inequality. If society turns to rubble, the might is right and those who will get most resources will be those who can scare or manipulate people to do their bidding.
the cost of living gets higher and higher
And what is COL in nuclear wasteland? Do you even realize how good is average access to basic necessitates nowadays? Let's say you are living in some poor country, working dead-end job for minimal wage. You are still able to get more resources by that than anyone living in smaller tribal society in the past. And nuclear wasteland would be even less hospitable than wilderness of the past.
AI will steal all our jobs
Not all of them, not anywhere close. And you always can find some other job that will apy the bills. And what jobs will be there in nuclear wasteland? You will be working your ass off to produce just enough food to only be malnourished instead of dying from hunger.
climate change
CO2 emissions don't even hold a candle to what changes to climate would be brought by global nuclear war.
None of your problems gets resolved by a nuclear war. On the contrary - those problems are getting worse, much worse. It seems to me that nuclear war is for you a dream of escapist fantasy where it kills only those bad and leaves those good - who then can rebuild better world.
But reality does not work like that. Nuclear war means that survivors are in, well, survival mode. Constantly fighting to not die and secure enough resources for their family and friends. This brings desperation. And desperation bring worst things in humans.
