The world is really at a threshold where it's become openly obvious that technology is not working for the majority of humanity, but a small cabal.

I’m not sure how you construe “country implements desperate measures during time of existential crisis” with technology only working for a small cabal? If anything this shows that this particular technology is more egalitarian than its predecessors, since it’s cheap and being used effectively by a smaller country defending itself against the territorial ambitions of its imperialist neighbor.

Or, Putin could have decided not to invade Ukraine.

Most drone techs and engineers in Ukraine as well as Russia would prefer a civilian job instead of fighting a protracted war.

It’s fun and games when you have the bad guys invading. It’s not so clear cut when that same technology gets used for terrorism against civilians. Indiscriminate killing by a machine should not be clapped at

[alephnerd]

It's absolutely not "fun and games" for most Ukrainians right now, and when you are in a situation where it is "kill or be killed" you innovate.
