Being duped into hating your fellow in the proletariat and seeing killing them to "protect your nation" is very easy to do in times of war, and people there, from the communists-in-hiding to the Nazi bozos Sieg-heiling on the frontlines get to experience the horrors of war.
Many can't deal with it and go abroad to a safer haven.
Here, you have not just thousands - millions of Bozos for whom you are also merely an instrument for advancing that state's interests. Be it working at shit jobs for shit-euro-pay or getting sent back to die in a WW1-Style-trench. Who hate you if you are too much of a loser to fulfill their ever rising demands, who hate you if you dare existing too obviously.
The Europeans eagerly march into the same hatred as above, millions supporting the military, Sabre-rattling, even open warfare! All to show strength, even if it causes WW3!
Willing to FUCKING DIE for the nation, for its interests, economic and/or political, to own the evil barbarians (the same is highly likely to be said in Russia)
Proletarian Internationalism? But have you considered everyone but ~~me~~ us (and they say humans are selfish by nature) is morally evil!
And anger against all this doesn't seem to be going anywhere, just into people who are considered better managers of nationalism - the fash.
It was fun laughing at the nazis starving to death in Mariupol basements but for the last year and a halfish its been pretty grim.
Yeah after they figured out they can't win a modern war through pure Triumph des Willens, their switch to competing with the ww1 French for who can have the biggest charnel house of the year has been indeed grim
That's probably partly because the real committed Nazis got chewed up in the first year or so and now we're watching people die who were just not lucky or rich enough to flee.
