Frankly, when someone writes a post recommending global thermonuclear war as a possible option, that's my line. My suggested courses of action are noticeably less melodramatic and noticeably closer to the plain, boring field of WW3-prevention.

The currently fashionable descriptor is "metacontrarianism" - you might get better responses if you phrase your objection in that way.

(man, I LOVE when things go factorially N-meta)

I'm not actually sure who the metacontrarian is here.

Hence my delight in the factorial metaness.
