Please note this does not mean the USSR wasn’t that way. Just want to clarify I’m not a tankie, lol.

    Three Mile Island is a perfect comparison.

    Partial meltdown. Not hidden. Handled.

    Reported to emergency officials effectively immediately.

    It wasn't handled perfectly, but the level of incompetence wasn't nearly on the same level. Venting the Xenon and dumping the tritium water wasn't exactly advised without approval but people acted on their own to do them. By far the biggest mistake was the comment from the power company spokesperson that he doesn't need to tell the public everything they do.

    Yeah, but the government came behind and made it happen.

    Three Mile Island should be held up as a “why we need regulation and government oversight” example IMO.

    The business wanted to save face, they were obligated to be more forthcoming by the state.

    Yeah they also might have found Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster in the reactor but they could be hiding that too.

    my point is that I’m not all about knowing “the other side” covers shit up and then assuming “my side” is telling the truth.

    they all lie. about literally everything.

    It’s actually asserting without evidence to back up the claim

    Do you need evidence when people make claims that fit your world view or do you just accept them because they feel good?

    I have evidence the US has lied to the public. I’m asking you if you need it.

    This comment chain is evidence of diminished intelligence or a deliberate effort to twist things.

    I’m not gonna engage with your bad faith arguing.
