Ukraine invasion

I’m carrying this from the weird FPSfB is a genius thread to an independent discussion of the current situation in Eastern Europe.
I’m glued to the news about this story. There’s a war in Europe, not the first historically but the first in my life time. ( Was Bosnia/Herzegovina a European war?) What is happening now in Ukraine can blowup into a very large situation that may be uncontrollable by the powers to be, those people responsible.
Is there a finger of blame to point out? Who’s the bad guy in this situation?
I blame libertarian social darwinist ideology. What do you think?
Has society in its pursuit of ideological freedom, freedom claims that start at the individual level and conflate to some twisted sense of group oppression of some combination of potential threats towards a broader portion of society has somehow brought society to the point of not just street level deadly violence but to a larger national violence that has now encompassed continental regions?
Is what we are witnessing going to move past a point of no return? Has the clock stopped are we going to remain in this stagnant neutrality where some amazing things happen but have little realized value because society is stuck in a repetitive meander of manufactured fear?
I think yes! I think that there is no return to security levels of a mere half dozen years ago. I think we are not going to progress because I truly think we are witnessing/ in the throes of the culmination of decades of uninhibited laissez-faire economics, the deconstruction of the administrative state. I think this has been the libertarian goal and I think it has for them been a complete success.
I’m hard pressed to think otherwise.
What is normal after two plus years of covid, what seems like seven years of trumps bullshit, and now what we are seeing in Europe?.
This Mose recent Olympic Games...Who could drag themselves to even be interested? Let alone watch a few minutes of the bore show live on television? What is there other than backyard gardening?
What venture is there that the world can get behind and cheer? The James Webb Telescope is poised to be great for scientific discovery but who can even get exited about it when way too many of us can’t get passed the 2020 election?.
How long are we supposed to be buried in this fabricated loggerhead of a fight for freedom? What rights have been lost? What rights have been gained? Why are smart people hung up on trivial nuances between bold new actions taken in stride and fear of any action that may be perceived as being anti business? Anti profit? Pro control? Pro regulation?
Aren’t the subtleties in life the things that move society’s forward? How did fear become so predominant?
