That is obviously terrible, and I have several personal ties to Ukraine and the conflict, but the arc of humanity is currently getting better. Russia’s invasion of its sovereign neighbor is bad, but I wouldn’t call it globally bad, unless this turns into a nuke war.

It already has global effects, plus we’re on the brink of a very serious recession, plus China is not playing ball, plus this whole war is opening pandora’s box that was closed ever since WW2. So no, it takes an incredible amount of techie privilege to ignore it to such extent.
