The social media war is horrifying. Every individual feels it necessary to engage in geopolitical posturing, which has resulted in a never-ending feedback loop of escalation. President Biden, who won without evidence, is even encouraging Ukrainian civilians to throw their bodies in front of Russian tanks. These people are needlessly agitating to get as many civilians massacred as possible.

If you removed the democratic force that is activating every individual as a political actor and the social media which is allowing them vicariously participate, this conflict would have already been resolved.
