#Israel and the #USA once again giving the world a master-class in how to instill righteous hatred in more generations of people.

I'd say that it's insane, but it isn't. It's all entirerely logical for a few far too powerful people acting in their own cold self interest with not even a smidgen of thought to lives, now or in the future.

Sadly they are all making us hard and cold and desensitised to what's happening (and that's something I know a lot about!). We can all expect some friends, family, and work colleagues and peers on #LinkedIn righteousnesly defending all of this with the propaganda they have been fed, and frankly with some, a creepily pornograhic glee to see even more of this death, displacement and horror.

The cruelty is the point, the cruelty becomes many people's normalised entertainment.

7.2: Ariel & Christina Discuss: Why Must Utopia Be Cruel?

In this episode, Ariel and Christina try to get to the bottom of why our fictional visions of utopia are so negative. They often involve mindless acquiescence to an authoritarian nanny state, the oppression and labor of an underclass, or both. It’s as if we can’t imagine a situation in which we all voluntarily treat each other (reasonably) decently and life can be good for everyone. We discuss the literary origins of utopia, how it has evolved (or not) as a concept, and Ariel gives a few examples of sci-fi futures that are about as close to her style of solarpunk utopia as can be. Ultimately, the topic of utopia raises more questions than answers.
