What you’re saying, it’s tolerated for no good reason but buying into propaganda. I’m not saying it’s not tolerated, I’m saying there’s no reason it should be. Maybe it’s easier to see when we’re not talking US. For example, there’s a shitton of people from my country fighting knees-deep in another country precisely because this is what the government currently tolerates and rewards. Will the average person view them as dangerous unhinged murderers a decade later, when the iron grip weakens and the societal norms shift? That’s the neat part, the answer is a resounding yes, because it’s already happening, well in advance.
