  People talk about echo chambers a lot, but I’ve found it nearly impossible to keep politics and general doom content. I’m rapidly losing my interest in the Internet as a whole simply because it seems to bring mostly pointless suffering to myself.

  I think it’s one thing to not be willing to go live as a hermit to avoid unethical consumption and another thing to simply… not participate in rent seeking behavior like this.

  I wish more people could recognize you can support specific actions without liking or approving of the entity taking those actions. It’s not a binary choice.

  It’s the whale-verse

  Cloud everything, saas, and offshore workers are all still things that have been negatively affecting people for years and never really went away even if the hype died down.

  What if some of the locals want it taken away for protection, but the government wants it destroyed?

  There’s no clear ‘owner’ in many cases. I think it places where it’s uncertain, then we should prioritize saving the artifacts over the ones that seek to destroy them.

  Who do you recognize as the authority to make that decision though? If the locals are currently ruled by a terrorist group or Nazis or whatever, do they get to decide? What about the locals that disagree with the government currently in power?

  And an answer of ‘if we just didn’t needlessly meddle’ might be the ideal, but it’s ignoring the realities that we have meddled and some countries are unlikely to stop doing so. We have to accept the world we have not the one we wished we had.

  What’s the opinion on certain high risk countries where there’s a high likelihood of the artifacts simply being destroyed? If I remember correctly ISIS and other similar organizations have burned or bombed several historical sites before.
