Peaceful to who? It's not peaceful for countries at war, neither for black people and other ethnic minorities in the US or here in Brazil since the police is racist and will kill for absolutely nothing. This can't be ignored.
Carrying the collective knowledge of humanity on our pockets is impressive and yet we are pushed sensationalized lies and disinformation for profits sake at every corner. Even when its not for profit, the status quo is so strong that other views and perspectives are easily dismissed. The whole internet is so heavily monetised you can't use it properly without an adblock.
I think this is a better perspective, since it screams that we need change, radical change, the current system cannot solve any of this.
Neither doomerism, nor this positive way of viewing the world are gonna change it for the better, only fighting for it will.
