Yeah… That type of brainwashing is so commonplace now though. Just look at how the US is treating striking dock workers, people keep talking about how they make xxx,xxx and not how the ceos make xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx like it’s the workers being greedy… 🥲
Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.

“war is people that know each other but don’t kill each other making people that don’t know each other, kill each other”
