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.

I feel similar. I had this chat recently with some friends. My ideology sed to be of peaceful coexistence and continuous improvement through technology. A kind of Star Trek future. But these last 10 years seem to show that as always might/violence is right. Tbh I feel lost and worried for the future and for my kid.

It seems like when financial systems are stressed to the max and governments feel like they are losing control, violence and repression compound. Sending love and prayers to all the families and innocent people trying to live their lives.

Often technology is being used for this brutal repression. Thats why it is important to have pure neutral technology free of political influence.
