For sure. And that’s the weird thing. Most people here (edit: Most working class people here) have the belief that war is bad and that killing civilians is bad. They also have the belief that the US military is mostly justified most of the time. And those beliefs don’t go together, so they have to be activated at separate times by distinct media campaigns. When Ukraine gets invaded by Russia, war is bad and it’s war crimes this, war crimes that. When Iraq got invaded by the US, it was all about righteous missions. These aren’t empty beliefs. They both drive action, causing people to protest and donate en masse. I think it’s the cognitive dissonance of believing both these things at once that makes US citizens so easy to manipulate when it comes to foreign affairs. The Palestinian uprising happened to hit in the middle of a War Bad cycle, which is doing some odd things to people’s brains here.
