    You’re right, this is what I was afraid of. Attacks like Isis did all over the world. I’m so tired of this shit. This is bad news for everyone, every faith, every non-faith, and only civilians will pay the price again and again.

    Hate will grow, people will be divided, suspicions will rise compounded on every country’s already specific problems.

    And this time it will be worse, because the population is globalized and not homogeneous, so minorities will bear the worst of it…again. The difference is, I think this time they’ll hit back, so civil unrest is not excluded.

    No one is talking about global peace anymore, we have to get together worldwide and try to work to get peace in every country, everywhere. Maybe that way, we can get ALL countries to sign something in the way of the Geneva conventions, but add more binding protections for civilians. That way, when a country is struggling with terrorists, the whole world can help diffuse that, instead of this shit show.

    It’s naïve, I know, but we have the intelligence, surveillance, money and power to do it. Just not the willingness.

      We have the ability, but peace isn’t profitable. In much the same way as curing disease isn’t profitable. War drives economy, and money is all that anyone in power gives a fuck about. Not you, not me, not anyone. Money.

      So long as we live in a global society dominated by fake value points, this shit will continue. Because it works for them.
