Alternative: I disagree that violence is an alternative at all, I think our war tools and tech reliance and knowledge industry siloing is too advanced and significant global conflict will ensure ends to these ways of life. I think violence can be necessary but we tend to have a history were it sure is necessary a whole lot and the places we grace tend to erupt in it too. I’ll try yo present a vision for an alternative. I realize I’m an idealist. I am not an optimists. I would love if we could all hold hands, I realize that is impossible.
Small part of my world event view point: Russia has or is sending nuclear weapons into spaces, BRICCS is a thing, various US alliances are shifting to other centers of power. Many people the world over feel like the American boot has been on them (and they aren’t wrong, US history does t and couldn’t have thing
time to teach even a small amount).
Framework I propose as opposed to shoot back harder and faster:
we stop seeing every possible thing as world Enders, moral imperatives, urgent action items. A lot of people who have not really experienced life threatening war situations are so quick to thrust not just themselves but their cousins once, twice, and 6 times removed into chaos. I understand your political and moral view points are important, keep fighting the good fight but keep it figurative.
We stop low key following Hammurabian Code of Laws (eye for eye).
We increase defense, actually harden these systems, and decrease offense and stop dubious us led foreign political interference , increase public transparency, we tamper back foreign influence (aka corporations), we increase dialogue.
The fact remains, if we continue to act in the same manner and things continue to escalate, why is it going to change? Things are escalating.
