Peoples habituated to colonial death do not fear atomic menace

Evidence

It is a fact that a people who went through the Algerian war do not feel intimidated by the atomic menace. Nor do the people who are living through the war in Vietnam. Nor even do those who, without experiencing actual warfare, live lives which are “a permanent struggle against an omnipresent death,” as Fanon says. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 45
