mellowtiggerThis future is weird. Not just the usual stuff I complain about, like humanity being on the verge of free economic production, thanks to robots, AI, and other technologies... yet rather than give everyone displaced by automation a free basic income, regressives try to keep that genie in the bottle by insisting that every human simply must work at a job or else their life is worthless. Very weird. Wait, what was I talking about?
No, I mean the stuff just as it relates to Ukraine these days. For instance, the world's largest cargo plane (made in Ukraine) once delivered much-needed medical supplies to the USA early in the pandemic, even after you-know-who called the Ukrainians "terrible people". Well, Putin has now destroyed that plane on the ground. Weird coincidence, isn't it?
Now suppose that you, a random citizen with no special training, capture a Russian tank. How do you drive it? Well, TikTok is here with a quick tutorial. So now you know how to drive it. Weird that such a thing would be relevant to the world, right?
So here for today's theme song is a strange, depressing, but lovely Ukrainian reggae song from 5'nizza to commemorate all of the unnecessary death happening this week in Ukraine in our 21st-century world of tomorrow. It's actually from 2002, but it is newly relevant, with a mixture of both the Ukrainian language and a bit of English.
The full lyrics are just too depressing and stressful, so I'll stick with the notable ending plea here:

I'm a soldier / Unborn child of war
I'm a soldier / Mom, take care of my wounds
I'm a soldier / Soldier of a country forgotten by God
I'm a hero / Tell me of which novel
I don't understand the native language lyrics, but the music is really nice. War is such a pointless waste of resources better spent on the advancement of humanity and fulfilling the human experience. This song seems to express that meaning in a roundabout way.I'm a soldier / Mom, take care of my wounds
I'm a soldier / Soldier of a country forgotten by God
I'm a hero / Tell me of which novel
