  • To be fair, the car flags and stickers appeared after 9/11. Iraq was a convenient rotate into revenge for Daddy.

    Not justifying the flag stuff, but at the time briefly it felt like the country had been as a whole attacked and we were one. Then the shit started, the blaming Americans here who looked like the ones who did it, the Patriot Act quickly being agreed to while some of noticed there wasn’t even time to read it, etc. But just saying, 9/12 and the days after, the whole flag thing seemed rational.







  • It really is more a function of time than anything else. The more time you have, the less action needed to change things. Plus, more time to analyze and confirm the path of danger as well as what the object is composed of (very important for what actions to take). Being able to detect early is our biggest weak point, as there is no active 24/7 search fully dedicated to that goal, it’s all done from the night side of the planet during unused time on professional telescopes, and by amateurs wanting to verify their findings. The best way is with a full time space-based sweep in an orbit far from Earth.
