      My dude, have you ever emigrated? It is not generally an easy not cheap prospect, especially when international borders are involved. My wife and I have been saving for years to emigrate and realized we’d be better served just going off grid.

      That’s not easy or cheap do to, especially for young adults who grew up in a propaganda machine that wouldn’t make those options known. At the bare, absolute minimum though, they should be firing at the ground or otherwise hurting the war effort. Not having tires inflated all the way, dropping some sand into the engine’s motor oil, not charging drone batteries properly, giving bad intel to send squads into circles.

          American’s were also propagandized after 9/11. Trust me, it’s not fun being the only one in your highschool who thought we were moving too fast into war.

            People celebrate Russians dying on lemmy we never see apologist like you when it happen. If someone get propagandized in believe settler colonialism and genocide is fine then that person go help doing more colonialism and genocide by serving the colonization forces you deserve to be killed or taking your own life unless they truly repent by becoming an anti colonisation and genocide activist

              Don’t take what I said as apologizing for propagized Israelies. The ones that the propaganda didn’t work in though don’t have many options though. I pity those few though because I don’t see this ending well for them.

                Yes they have the option of accepting few years of jail which is better than killing innocent people in the goal of genociding people or getting killed by resistance
