Just like pop songs, gummy candies, and the internet – war, and violence have become a part of culture.
Through the media’s endless feed, our daily lives are marked by wars that never stop.
Julian Assange gave this condition a name: the Perpetual War.
The media is playing a crucial role in weaving it into culture.
And without noticing, we’ve adapted to it.
Wars begin again and again, in different places, with the same scripts.
They’ve become the background noise of our existence.

In a few minutes, you swipe from a pop star’s glittering update to reports of genocide,
from sugar-free dessert recipes to bombed cities, refugee camps, students arrested,
and lower-back exercises.
Everything goes.

This normalization of violence forces us to become numb.
Being hit by a car, getting your jaw broken while peacefully protesting,
smoke bombs flying toward girls standing in a schoolyard—
all of it blends into the same blur. It gets publicly relativized.

By the time you go to sleep, you can’t say precisely what’s wrong,
but something in you feels heavy and unwell.
