The

and ‘Glory to Ukraine!’ stuff here from Westerners who wouldn’t be caught dead waving their own flag is reminding me of Western right-wingers and Israel—a sort of surrogate testosterone receptacle, absorbing all the old-fashioned manly emotions that are verboten at home.

The war, Russia v. Ukraine, Russia v. NATO, all to one side. Just funny to see a sort of mirror image emerging in Bluecheck America/UK etc to Western RWers and Israel, where David French wrote a piece defending Israel’s use of live ammo on Gaza border protests,

Much more so i think. Even totally mainstream American right wingers aren’t scared of being a bit nationalist, they haven’t been able to make it verboten here yet despite their best efforts, it’s too deeply ingrained.

It's also uncanny watching the group of people (in many cases the exact same people) who spent two decades denouncing the war in Iraq and US imperialism practically tripping over themselves to sign us up for a conflict we have no role at all in - for the sake of "morality."

There's probably a benefit to only getting worked up about the wars of distant vassals, but one might expect more genuine support (as in Kosovo and Vietnam) than we see.

Replying to

Trump reignited some rebellious energy on the left. Don't know if I'd call it masculine. But now that Trump is gone, they're going after Putin as a proxy for their hatred. Ironic how many people on the right also dislike Putin, so now both sides are weirdly united.

Replying to

Yes, all that admiration of their patriotism and passionate commitment to their country, whilst calling anyone patriotically British and English a "flagshagger". No double standards there at all.
