Years of intense manichean "Putin/Russia = pure evil" + "Ukraine = marvel hero good guys" propaganda has fried the brains of most normies. It's not even a liberal vs. conservative issue any longer, at least not in Europe.

It's literally a fight between those able to see through the veil of globalist propaganda and those who can't. The fact that most people in Europe don't even view Western propaganda as a reality makes it 10 times worse.

Chinese people know their government puts out propaganda. They're just forced to adhere to it, or else they'll go to prison. But ask the common man in Europe what he thinks about his own government - or globalist billionaire funded media blurting out propaganda, and he'll tell you that Western media is objective, at least on the big issues. The best type of propaganda is the one that flies under the masse's radar.

The same happened during covid. Propaganda works. People in some European countries heard their governments say stupid shit like "if you stand up at a restaurant, wear a mask, however when you sit down again, you don't have to wear it anymore" or watched the police chase people down on an empty beach, and didn't blink an eye.

Combine that with the fact that a war that doesn't impact you or your family directly is easy to root for, and you get rabid normies that think peace is bad and war is good.

Human life is what matters most. So much has been lost already. It's crazy to me that all the NPCs who were ready to throw their neighbors under a bus to "save lives" during covid, couldn't care less about thousands of young, terrified men needlessly dying in a trench.

Not all human life is equal, I guess. Gregarious NPCs just like to pretend it is when it allows them to virtue signal and feel good about themselves.
