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.
