    Yeah, that stood out to me as crazy too.

    I think it’s really just propaganda: pretending to do something when in reality doing nothing.

    Like, who the fuck isn’t going to do that?

      It’s the new stop drop and roll. Though I constantly see videos of people on for seemingly taking the active shooter advice and sprinting away from the flames attached to them.

        Stop drop and roll isn’t intuitive or instinctual and should be taught so people have an idea of what to do if they’re ever on fire.

          Apparently you’ve never seen someone freeze in a tense situation. Running from an immediate threat isn’t hardwired into every animal, humans included.

          What did it work to accomplish? I don’t recall any nuclear bombs being dropped on any cities post 1945…

          Duck and cover was shitty ineffective social programming to placate yet keep the gen pop scared and nodding instead of the leaders of the world acting like fucking adults.

          It’s an example of politicians failing, of leaders incapable or unwilling to compromise and imagine any solution where they are a single color in a painting and not the whole painting.
