@llimllib there’s been quite a lot of war. video and close quarters misery somehow seemed less present with aleppo, raqqa, mosul, ethiopia, tigray, afghanistan, etc. but first ukraine and now gaza sure are bringing it all unbearably home. i’m not sure that even in these conflicts with first-person shooter atrocity and crying children recounting heads exploding and hospitals blown up on camera all this exposure has led to less tolerance for war. 1/

@llimllib it seems as much to stoke (and often manipulatively to direct) our anger as to provoke demands for peace. /fin
