I mean in regards to stuff like throwing around the term "terrorism" with no analysis or insight into a group or people actions, WHY it happened. Believing the media narrative about the "barbaric" hordes we need to go and kill. The propaganda that empires put out to subjugate the global south. All this stuff that was laid bare with the original 9/11, that libs love to smugly look back on and claim "oh I never supported that, I was smarter than that" (need I remind you that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney got rehabilitated, by liberals, too). And no here they are, just back at it again as if the last 20 years never happened.

I hate liberals, I really do. These people are not your fucking friends.

People are getting aspects of war that are usually downplayed being captured in pornographic detail being performed on people shown as relatable. They're horrified because war is brutal and impartial and gross. The fact its being perpetuated on people who've been far more brutal and impartial and gross for far longer isn't really something they can accept. Because life is a movie to them, the bad guys are stopped by the good guys not by other bad guys. The idea that the concept of good guys and bad guys is reductionist and infantile invalidates their entire worldview.
