This has been the singlemost extreme mass hypnosis events of my lifetime. People lose their minds in this topic over the most easily provable basic facts.
To me, it's been amazing to see people who appeared to understand the ethos of Chomskys "manufacturing consent" then immediately turned into war hawks.
The worst are the ones who claimed to understand that working class kids are "fortunate sons" but then wanked themselves into a frenzy watching videos of DJI drones dropping grenades onto Russian kids.
