But this war fervor I saw everyone embarking on, made me disgusted at Europeans.
Here in the US, it reminds me of the 2003 Iraq war fervor. I was only 13 at the time. I remembered 9/11 and the subsequent start of the war in Afghanistan. But 2003 in Iraq was my first time really properly understanding what war meant and entailed. And as the war dragged on, as the WMDs kept not being found and as the insurgency grew, as I aged into adulthood and college and watched friends come back from the desert as hollow, broken shells of their former selves, I resolved never to take anything the state or mass media had to say about war at face value ever again.
Apparently not everyone understood the assignment though.
I’d argue it’s even worse now. These Ukronazis have loads of Nazi insignia on display and Westoids couldn’t care less. Like you point that out, and they either say the Russians are the fascists or that these Nazis deserve support for fighting the Russians. It’s sickening.
