It was all part of the great brain wash.

Man I remember those drills ... we used to watch those films in class.

We were living in Florida during the Cuban Missile crisis and it was tense in school to say the least. My Dad and I dug a bomb shelter in the backyard. Hit water about two feet down and I remember my Dad saying, "frick."

First time I had ever heard that word used. I asked Mom what it meant later and she gave Dad the stank eye.

For a sense of false security.

It’s sad how many people are ignorant of the fact one of the stated goals of communist was and still is the global implementation of communism.


And?

If it never works as an actual form of government, what's the harm?

Yeah, sorta like tornado drill in school hallways....face down, arms/hands covering the head, legs tucked in.

Fun fact from someone that’s built several schools.

Grade school hallways are designed to be shelters in place. Last one I did had interior CMU walls with a structural deck above the grid ceiling. So in this case, it’s not bullshite.

Well, it's better than sit there and get your head blown off.

They didn't, it was more about giving kids some sense of control and safety so they could keep living their lives.



such backward times

Now we give kids the age of those in the picture the sense of control of picking their own gender!

Well, they did a study and discovered it was more practical than the “bend over and kiss your arse goodbye” drill.


Well I’m kind of pissed to hear that. Because my school put us against the lockers and told us to put our heads between our knees, which is essentially the same as kissing our asses goodbye.

Jesus. Are you joking?

It is a socio-economic system that quite literally killed millions of people every single time it was implemented, and there are still people to this day that want to implement it. Because the next psycho will always say he’ll do it better.
