I’ve had multiple family members deployed to active warzones.

Whenever we talked about war, it was never about politics. It was always “X’s tour is supposed to finish next month,” or “I heard something happened near [town], wasn’t X deployed near there?”

I know how everyone talks about it on the internet, but what is it like for you at home?

    lol bruh, nonexistent. I’m not into starving civilians, my family’s not into thinking. One cannot overstate the intergenerational trauma of the holocaust and how it impacts the worldview of the children of survivors.

      Which is odd considering it was the Germans that committed the holocaust and I’m sure these people you speak of have no issue with Germany now while Palestine never committed genocide and yet they’re the villians because the holocaust happened.

        Germans killed other Germanics, Northern and Eastern Europeans so these Germanic, Northern and Eastern Europeans moved to the Middle East and killed Semites. 🤷😔

      Seems like an easy moral “don’t go to jail card” that collapses under any sort of scrutiny (“so your parents were murdered by their European neighbours so now you can murder Semites without issues?”), perhaps because they themselves have some blood in their hands and would rather bury their heads in the sand. Diabolic behaviour, NGL.
