Its a preemptive measure, against what the ukraine war will spill into the civil sphere. If drug gangs get explosive suicide drones, and stack them up on some roof, callable as service, flashing the red and blue will not do. Welcome, to the hell, that is a unchanged humanity with 300 years of tech for everyone. And it was pretty forseeable, hell drones are cheaper then guns now. This is what we worked for, this is what we fought for. We destroyed humanitys ability to keep the peace. What a interesting war of all against all this will be, once the planets ceeiling comes down. What a fitting, ironic place to start it off, then Los Angeles. Any apologist, wanna take the lead and "This is actually a good thing.."wing it? Do we get religous as defense, believing in the new human being?

Here's a half hearted attempt... this is actually a good thing, because then there will be less people on the planet and less garbage, pollution, destruction of ecosystems, and everyone will be richer. Presumably, few people will try to unleash drones on nature, and even if they do, they will only have minimal effect given the enormity of the planet. On the other hand, currently we have factory farming where billions of animals are brought up in abysmal conditions to feed the population meat, they live on an ecological credit card, and it's probably far more destructive in the end through famines or just general ecosystem collapse. Seeing what's coming from that, you might actually consider the threat nuclear war to be comforting...?

By every measurable metric - the world is substantially better today than 300 years ago. If you seek, you shall find. If you're looking for reasons why the world is burning down - you'll find them in every headline.
