There are two forms of nuclear colonialism. The extraction of natural resources from traditional indigenous and colonized lands. And the colonialism of treating a place as empty, as "no place" where there is "no one" and there are no consequences for nuclear testing. Nuclear weapon states have always very intentionally "selected the irradiated." Read, Nuclear Bodies: The Global #Hibakusha.
@bojacobs@histodons I'm assuming you know about how apparently metal that was forged before nuclear testing is a hot commodity for scientific instruments.
@Legit_Spaghetti@histodons
Absolutely. One key early source of this pre-contamination metal was World War One German naval vessels that had been scuttled off the coast of Scotland in the 1920s.
