From Ukraine last year, to Nagorno-Karabakh last month and now Israel, it really does feel like there's a trend of people becoming more comfortable with using large-scale unilateral violence to solve problems. That trend itself greatly worries me; each instance normalizes and legitimizes the next.

I also notice a separate trend, of not so much flashy violence but rather mostly-quiet but brutal repression, becoming normalized and unchallenged more and more. This also worries me a lot.

Not looking like a good decade for peace and freedom.
