#Eurovision was created to help post war Europe come together and heal. It is by design, a mechanism of solidarity for the nations of this continent. Ukraine’s win tonight was not only amazing, but also an affirmation of why this contest exists in the first place.

I’m no psychologist, but I suspect taking pleasure from the suffering and death of others, despite how rich or “bad” they might be, is a sign of something sinister. It’s like how the death penalty says more about the society who enforces it, and less about those being punished.
