Yeah agreed, the stakes are immense for those with propaganda goals. To expand... I'm commenting from personal experience. I have no stake, besides an ever intensifying weltschmerz every time I turn on the news. But I see friends and acquaintances take super harsh positions: "they got it coming!", "we must fight! We have the right!", "all bystanders must pick a side (ours) or else you are complicit too!", "the other side is inhuman and has no right to exist!" And so few people I know are reacting in a de-escalatory manner. We collectively gaze into a bottomless pit of despair. |

Well said. That's where I'm at. I'm very confused why anyone would be working against a "pause" (is there a synonym that's less controversial?).
