> why aren't we raising awareness about thousands of other political, social and economic issues around the world that actually need awareness
Our lives are going to change. Depending on how concerned and committed western people will be, we'll have to face a major energy crisis, or give up our democracies for cheap oil & gas. If trump is re elected, I see nothing good coming for the west. We are living crucial times, fascism is back in full force, our medias and politicians are being bought one by one with dirty russian money. And fascists don't feel the need to hide anymore.
But people fail to see why this war isn't yet another political, social or economical "issue". I looks like we're in for a very dark age...
Politics doesn't belong in software. Some software can be political, sure, but the only purpose of these banners is good PR and virtue signalling.
