If we had the same media landscape back in 1986 as we have now, I am convinced that Chernobyl would have been framed as nothing more than an unfortunate naturally occurring radiological phenomenon, having nothing at all to do with the nearby reactor meltdown.

Anyone who said otherwise would be said to be spreading dangerous and untrue misinformation, and should be permabanned from everything. And you're probably spreading problematic anti-russian racism, too.

Whatever you do, don't hoard iodide tablets or geiger counters, because that will just start a panic. Meanwhile, our elites hoard radiation protective gear for themselves.

Facebook and Twitter would work feverishly to delete any videos people uploaded of the evacuation.

And you would be gaslit for saying that perhaps the nuclear meltdown had something to do with the radiation. And perhaps the corrupt and authoritarian government cut corners and allowed this to happen.
