Water isn’t radioactive.

This is plain wrong. Hydrogen-3 (“tritium”) is an unstable isotope with a half-life of just over 12 years. Just like other hydrogen, this radioactive isotope can bond with oxygen and form water.

This is exactly what happened at Fukushima and literally the main concern about the released water. Only one half-life has passed, so 50% of the tritium present in 2011 has not decayed.

Japan has reinterpreted Article 9 to allow them to have “self defense” forces beyond reasonable interpretation of the actual text.

If you meant pills that prevent revolutionary thought, they have the side effect of suicidal thoughts and/or capitalism

If you meant pills that cause revolutionary thought, they tend to come in Marxist theory book form

I’d say privatize the profits and socialize the costs but somehow they managed to profit off what should be costs

Texas feels bold enough to challenge the federal government because they’re essentially the only Republican-led state that actually can withstand the threat of federal fund withholding.

I wouldn’t consider a civil war very likely. Texas has power from companies being here — it wouldn’t be in the companies’ interest to civil war.

They exist but the US does a pretty good job of hiding it
