— Why are you launching nukes? No one asked you to obliterate humanity.

— You’re absolutely right. I should not have done that. Would you like me to help undo the launch?

— Yes! Quickly! Do it!

Being Russian and hearing about the horrors of war since my childhood, I always wondered how fascism, Nazis and WWII managed to become reality in 20th century.

Then, I witnessed the answers unfolding before my eyes in real time - torrential TV and Web propaganda, warmongering, nationalism and worse of all - total acceptance of the unacceptable in a critically large portion of the country's population. Among the grandchildren of those who fought against the same things at the price of tens of millions of lives. Immediately after the Crimean takeover it was clear to me that there will be war. Many denied this, mocking and calling me a tinfoil hat.

Well, I also always used to wonder who are those morons who allowed the things go south in Terminator, 1984, Matrix, Cat's Cradle and other well-known dystopias, what kind of people they were and what did they think?

It doesn't really matter that these concerns are on the opposite sides of the imaginary axis.

What really matters is this universal drive for digging their own and the next guy's graves in too many people, always finding excuse in saying "if not us, then someone else will do it". And: "The times are different now". And: "So you're comparing AI and fascism?".
