Nuclear has the option for leaving me alive the longest with some messed up shit happening, so I'm gonna go with that.
At least biological warfare should kill me pretty quick, same for chemical attacks.

It's between biological and chemical for me, but I'm giving it to chemical because that stuff is instantly horrendous.

gorilla warfare

Biological is self created strains weaponized to kill, or destabilize human populations. The effects are terrible, and the potential for a strain to be unchained and uncontrollable, spreading far past it's intended target is always an issue.

Cyber warfare is strictly damaging for an individual. It's not widespread, and it can't knock down countries or devastate a population. But for the one person who becomes a target for it, all their dark little secrets suddenly become exposed. A nightmare in it's own right.

Nuclear, is by far the strongest and most potent form of warfare. It has the potential to devastate not just one country, but the world. If one person fires the nuke, the other country on the receiving end will fire theirs. While it's a gridlock, I wonder how long till our aging nukes accidentally go off on their own and spark something unwanted?

Chemical warefare, throughout history, has had the longest lasting, deepest scars. While it is indescrimnatory just the same as many others, it's something awful to see kids and people caught up in it. And worse yet, the effects of the chemicals last for generations, like Agent Orange.

Memetical warfare, or memetical tactics, are, frankly, of all the ones on the list here, the most underhanded, but utterly effective tactics out there. In fact, a lot of today's world is caught up in memetic indoctrination of sorts, and it is so effective that it isn't even warfare, it's just subtle, and complete manipulation, and when you step back and take a look sometimes, you can see everything as it's laid out, and it is a frightening thing.

Personally, for me, it would probably be viral warfare. At least if I get hit by a nuke, I'm gone in nano seconds. Depending on the chemical, I'm dead in seconds. For cyber, I have nothing to hide and I'm poor as fuck. And for memetic, I'm already a part of it to some degree.

But a virus, is the worst thing you can have to infect your body. Most don't kill extremely quickly, and the physical state of torment you exist in with a heavy hitting one is intolerable.

good point

also, what the fuck is memetical? Did you just make that up?

Memetical is mental. Like an idea that spreads from one person to another. So, basically, it's the culmination of numbers. Like rioters, religous folks, and a strictly consumer based society. It's basically mob mentality, like the genocide in Rwanda.

I don't understand because that isn't really a weapon like Nuclear, Biological or chemical weapons.

Oho but mob mentality is a weapon. In fact I'd go so far as to say it's the best. One person with a voice can sway many. One idea can spread like fire through a population without them even realizing it. It's subtle indoctrination.

For a few examples, let's take the riots in the Ukraine earlier this year. The rioters were and are in a lose lose situation. Even if they elected a new head honcho, no doubt, eventually, they would be bought out. But they were sparked into fighting, because that's what the higher ups wanted. It's been known for years now, that cops go undercover in big crowds like this, and they start something. They break shit, work people up, and when things reach a critical level, BOOM. All the rioters turn violent to some degree, and they're completely played on.

Take our society. It's heavy into consumption, but not on renewal. People throw away everything, even if it can be used. No matter how small the problem, people as a whole in the modern capitalist society throw away things with abandon. And our garbage sites prove this. You wouldn't believe the amount of working shit I've pulled out of garbage sites.

With memetic ideas, you can do literally anything. Condition people to be docile to certain things, make them into consumers, condition them for war, trick them into fighting over nothing and so on. It's the easiest weapon to gain access to, as all you need is people in large numbers, and once the idea gets started, it never stops.

Biological

Modern

Nuclear is by far the most catastrophic IMO.

It causes terrible mutations along with it's widespread destruction.

By the way if anyone answers Cyber.. just wow...

The only mutations would be cancer-like tumours. Even Fallout's mutants are largely a result of genetic engineering pre-war or FEV released into the air.


So no, there wouldn't be super mutants, but you would be getting cancer and radiation poisoning.


OT- what is memetic? Apart from that, biological.

Has anybody got any cluster bombing gifs? I can't seem to find any.

Id rather get nuked than have one of these fuckers stomp around my city streets.


Yes I know shit like this doesn't exist as of yet (that we know of) but these sort of weapons are more terrifying that a giant fireball that will eradicate a city in seconds.

Chemical warfare is a close second, if you've ever seen footage of victims of chemical weapons then you know exactly why.
