> The entire world has never been more at peace than it ever has been throughout all of human civilization This statement heavily depends on the definition of "war". I don't have the data, but yes, it might very well be true that we have less armed conflicts going on at the moment than any time before. However, I am convinced that we are currently in an ongoing global war - but this war is very different from the "traditional" ones. Instead of being based on large-scale armed conflicts, it's mainly waging in media, courtrooms, governments, elections and online forums. And the sides in this war are less clearly delineated than we're used to. But the effects of this war are no less real then those of other types of conflicts; just less obvious.

>But the effects of this war are no less real then those of other types of conflicts; just less obvious. The greatest effect of war is mass slaughter and death. The actual effect of war is on a different level than even the "woke" movement. A single man named "George Floyd," out of a population of millions dies and the accused officer (who is obviously a racist out to slaughter all black people) is sentenced to prison as a martyr. A lot of people would say from this that society is breaking down. I beg to differ. This is society confused and with too many first world problems to worry about. This is on a very different scale than a machine gun mowing down an entire beach of soldiers on omaha during WW2.
