"Why is Robin-Yann doing all this politic posting? Get back to Tool Design!" it's because 25 years ago, in 2000, I too saw everything that's happening right now. Decades of wars destroyed lives and touched everyone on the globe. Why wouldn't I do my small part in calling it out this time?

My part is exceedingly small, but that's why thousands doing their small part is important. That's society, that's the civilization we choose to be 25 years is a long time. For some this is new. I just need you to know it isn't new. Making up reasons to bomb and invade countries keeps happening.

Of course it's not just 25 years ago. It goes back even longer than that, with the US & UK overthrow of the first democratically elected leader of Iran in 1953. You can play through that story in The Cat and the Coup, which was an IGF finalist in 2011: store.steampowered.com/app/95700/Th...

The overthrow by the US & UK was publicly made known in 2013, with the release of many documents by the CIA: edition.cnn.com/2013/08/19/p... In the end it was all to do about oil. Which, if you lived through the 2000s, will sound very familiar.
