RE: The 'Collateral Murder' Massacre

in #deepdives6 years ago

Despite the worldwide violence of governments, overall violent crime is trending down, wealth is trending up, and technological progress out[aces governmental ability to regulate or co-opt it. Things are looking up in the long run.

People have been blaming video games for the ills of society for years, but people literally firebombed civilian population centers, lobbed rockets willy-nilly, and dropped two nukes before the invention of Pong. Drone bombings, helicopter gunship assaults, and the like are tragedies, but don't make them out to be bigger than they really are in scale.
