Thank you for sharing this. Many people have leapt from swallowing uncritically everything authorities told us about Covid-19 and feeling righteous about obeying it all to uncritical support of this war without any questions asked. I just watched a piece on PBS (liberal US Public Broadcasting System) "explaining" the war solely from the standpoint of Putin's megalomania with absolutely no historical context or information about how the US actions created a situation that all but guaranteed Putin would eventually do what he did.
I have noticed the use of NLP (neuro linguistic programming) when a reporter or politician starts off by saying something like “Everyone knows…,” so if you disagree your going against “everyone” and most people can’t stand up against that. It’s dangerous to be excluded from the tribe is wired in us.
