The absurdity and the horror of war, i think, is almost incomprehensible. I can watch a eucranian steal a with a tractor on twitter. And it makes me think like, you know, what would the viet nammor have looked like if the via kong had twitter or tiktok? Think about how different history would be if two forces were able to use this technology at the very same time. It's all so revolutionary and uncomfortable"
