I know people are gonna say it's all relative and we all see the past through a golden lens, but tbf the last major genocide was in the 90s, so a whole new population of young people are getting to witness the deepest horrors of humanity in all its glory, and in 4k UHD thanks to the evolution of technology.
Imagine telling someone 30 years ago that we'd be getting DIY video guides on how to survive in a combat zone, or being able to easily access a massive amount of media showing people getting shot, bombed, stabbed, sliced, and burned alive for existing.
Don't you all love the future.
on the other hand we have monopolies that track our ever movement and live in surveillance states.
