Yo Tech YouTubers, I know you don’t want to “get political”, but it’s times like these when you can show your humanity and condemn senseless violence, doesn’t matter if it’s terrorists or state actors committing it.

joesabin (joesabin@mastodon.world)'s status on Tuesday, 17-Oct-2023 00:44:39 JST joesabin So what do you say or do to make a difference? To have an impact? What can be said that won't be incendiary?
In my youth, we had over 500,000 troops in Vietnam. As I got older I watched friends get sucked into that endless revolving door of a war. We protested we waited our turn to go and have our lives ruined. I got lucky, unlike some of my friends. Almost no one came back intact.
We have to stop fighting useless battles. That's the answer.

joesabin (joesabin@mastodon.world)'s status on Tuesday, 17-Oct-2023 00:44:42 JST joesabin @thomasfuchs Honestly, I wouldn't even know how to respond to the mess in the Middle East right now. The situation in Ukraine, and watching so many people's lives being upended with no way for me to have one tiny bit of say that will make a damn bit of difference. It's frustrating. I'm in my late-60s and have watched too many wars for my whole life. None in my lifetime has yielded anything of value.
