Make these people' watch Thread because they seem to believe that not getting fried in the first strike is a win
They never know what it's like to dig trench with shovel to build ''bunker'' that are more like 1.5 meter deep trench to prep for an eventual nuclear war
Their takeaway from Threads would be "look, there's still people in the end! it's not so bad!"
reddit people believe they are strong enough to do hard labor and not minced by cannibalistic tribe due to food shortage is unironic main character symptom
The CEO of
fantasizes about being a slaver warlord in the fantastical Fallouterino wastes, and even bragged about getting his vision surgically corrected so he could "snipe looters." 
The cognitohazard plague of "what if everything simulation" and its almost inevitable followup "what if everyone but me and people I like are NPCs" is a part of that too.

Techbros worry a lot about how to keep the help in line after what they often call "the Event." In private conference, according to eyewitness testimony, they usually resort to talking about bomb collars.

You don't need to be a CEO to have this mindset.

We all know that some poor local with nothing to lose are all to gain can pop those main characters (tm) with a rusty AK while wearing sandals.
"Threads is about performances of human endurance just like my GetMotivated, UpliftingNews, and NextFuckingLevel treats!"
Did anyone else feel like the second Act of threads was a lot weaker than the first?
Spoilers
The bunker part was the most interesting part after the bombs dropped, and getting to watch them more would have been more interesting than the main woman IMO.
