I really don't want to look either, I never imagined this deranged position existed but people are always pushing the limits of innovation.

I think for the most part it's just "my side and its allies good, their collective enemies bad", and a lot of people do not think about politics past that unless someone presses them for a deeper moral reason (that they arrive backwards at)
