Europe’s experiencing the longest hot war since World War II. The war in the Gulf seems to be escalating as we speak. Extremism has been on the rise for years now. Is it actually getting worse or is it simply the fact that we can access information from all four corners of the world so easily as never before?

    Most folks can’t take this perspective. Despite everything, we’re still in probably the most peaceful time in history. We have the best medicines ever, most caste systems have been done away with in the west. Fucking helicopters.

      We’re clearly in the process of bringing caste systems back in the west, it’s getting increasingly hard to access health care or housing even in countries that used to have strong social welfare systems.
