Since the war started I’ve seen the Ukrainian flag no less than ten times a day, and almost every time (I’d say a solid 8/10 times) it’s been linked to something that elicited anger in me. (horrible stuff Ukraine’s military is doing, the Azov battalion, shitlibs with bad takes, etc.) and now every time I see the combination of blue and yellow I immediately get upset.

My quick google to try to understand this implies it’s Pavlovian conditioning, and I have to agree with that. So, is anyone else getting this, or do I need a vacation from the internet?

    I was thankful that none of the icons on my phone changed to the Ukrainian flag, then I had to open Grammarly to delete an accidentally saved incorrect word and got rather cross for a few minutes after seeing that a service that’s dedicated to fixing grammar and should have absolutely no political stances what so ever has a Ukrainian flag logo now
