We had 80 years of economic growth in which to reach 0.7% of GDP spent on helping those we exploited. We didn’t.
We have had a single decade to increase military spending to go over the 2% mark to protect our privilege. Yes, we can!

The word "reward" has been the least rewarding word in our present culture. Hooked on rewards, we become oblivious to our environment. Reward isn't just reductive, it reduces experience to nought.
Luckily @sandervdc.bsky.social & I take reward down.

I feel the urgent need to apologize for the generations of my children. We f***ed up and it is simply not enough to say we did our best to avoid decisions that blew up in their youth. It is not enough because their elders failed them and they, still, resist owning up to this failure being ours.
