It's amazing how quickly people's minds can change when forced to confront reality. Weeks ago people were down playing Russia's build up on the Ukrainian border while many were arguing for appeasement; labeling Putin's demand's as reasonable and the US/NATO positions as hypocritical.
Then the tanks started rolling in.

Just like climate change, institutional racism, and other ills of society, we never seem to motivated to even consider necessary changes to fix them until a body count can be attributed. And even then, it depends on what and who's bodies are piling up.

I feel deep shame for ever having participated in this system. We need to find a better way to listen and examine reality together before more people start needlessly dying from our lack of attention.
