Europe, and the general west, is shaping up to go all out fascist it seems. Even the comments on the thread are full of European supremacy.
I have been mentally preparing for war for quite some time now. I know it sounds LARP-like, but I think it really will happen. And I will probably have to choose a side.
Now that’s trickier question. Most of the internet hawks surely don’t expect it to turn nuclear, they just want Russia to go away because fuck yeah murica always win or some other bullshit they believe. They also don’t know a shit how the war really looks (remember the mercenaries fleeing from Ukraine at the first inconvenience and those were the more courageous and infinitely more determined members of that crowd) let alone how a fucking nuclear war looks - to be fair nobody except few ancient Japanese does and i hope no one ever will anymore.
And the rest, the total braindead morons, do really think they will be ok because they are the smartest elites of the human race - it’s the same thinking as monarchists and libertarians have when they seriously propose to throw humanity in the pit of misery - they think they will be on top of the new world.
I can understand why internet dwelling lead-huffers would think that - for reasons you have just listed. But it certainly seems like the people pushing the buttons and giving orders - Borell here for example - think the same. It’s frightening. Surely he and his have better information? Surely they know just how bad things will be?
I honestly don’t know. Before the war, EU politicians average as a whole, behaved like usual you would expect, pretty rational within the constraints of imperial core bourgeoise governments, especially Germany. And now they are trying so hard to commit economical seppuku. Can’t explain that really.
I don’t think it’s LARPing when you’re recognizing very obvious trends. We’ve seen this exact rhetoric and “plan” in many other wars before. It starts small, and continues to escalate in a way so the general public is complacent or even enthusiastic.
I’m not joking when I say COD really helped stoke the flames. Literally military propaganda.
Didn’t they hype up young men during WWI so they’d willing go to war thinking it was badass, to then find out war is actually the most horrifying thing? By then it was too late for them to turn back and they had to watch their friends die or be mutilated.
People have forgotten how fucked up war actually is. You don’t respawn and your enemies don’t rag doll. Johnny Got His Gun should be required reading.

There is nothing suprising about that thread considering it is on /r/europe.
Especially funny that entire concept of “European Supremacy” won’t last 3 seconds when tested and they will be at eachother throats for minor issues.
Do we really need a full blown and open WW3?
Entire collective voice of the west say “YES”
Do they expect not to die in the nuclear exchange? Do they expect it to not turn nuclear?

I don’t think reddit is a good take to consider, since it’s Twitter 2
I don’t think its LARPing to state the obvious reality.
