Always annoying to see a post that makes you go “yeah okay I agree with the point you’re trying to make but you can actually make that point without pretending like the other side of it isn’t nuanced too” but you can’t say anything without risking drama so you just have to move on

Bonus points if you don’t know whether the person who put the post on your dash reblogged it for OP’s point or the silly jokes underneath

#this post inspired by someone clearly trying to make the point of #‘don’t joke abt oppen/heimer bc the atomic bombings and their creation caused horrible tragedies’#which like. yeah. ive read survivors’ accounts of the hiroshima bombing and YEAH #don’t joke abt that it’s not funny #but there was also a clear implication that oppen/heimer didn’t actually feel guilty abt his part in the bombs #that his pov wasn’t worth exploring #and like. im not super well informed on oppen/heimer. but what ive heard suggests there’s definitely some nuance here #i mean i don’t know if the movie handles it well but i dont think it’s a bad thing to explore why he made the choices he did #it is in fact very good to acknowledge that sometimes humans make terrible decisions for understandable reasons #bc we are all capable of that and too many ppl like to pretend that only bad ppl do bad things #which is. bad.#marijn talks
