    What do you and most people in your town think of the “special military operation”?

      Being a special unicorn myself, as I do answer you on the fediverse of all places and in English, I want to say I am not representative of our bunch. But from what I can gather, there is no outright remorse to the war I could’ve welcomed, but an overall tiredness, and even distancing. As Prigo guy and others cried, not many people really care about the war around me, unless they are directly affected. I see ads for service everywhere, I hear drunk persons coming from the trenches, but the ‘unilateral’ support is artificial and comes from public institutions like schools, colleges, controlled social media, while average people just try to make their living in slowly hardening material conditions. Unlike frequently bombed regions, mine is adapting to whatever comes, and unlike visible support for the cause of war, everyone’s just working their hours, walking kids and animals and don’t care at all unless asked.

        From what I can gather, this tends to be the sitch when a war is sort of remote - not worth getting in trouble opposing, not worth supporting.

          For most, that is how it goes.

          My uncle is driving me mad atm crying it’s not universally supported to go big bang-bong-poof and proclaim a real nuclear war against the western world.

          I feel myself a coward for not being in prison just yet, but I’m thankful to some deity that it lets me keep caring for my bed-chained elderly relatives who would otherwise just die uncared for.
