[Serious] Jews of Lemmy, what are your family conversations about the war like? (sh.itjust.works)

I've had multiple family members deployed to active warzones.

Whenever we talked about war, it was never about politics. It was always "X's tour is supposed to finish next month," or "I heard something happened near [town], wasn't X deployed near there?"

I know how everyone talks about it on the internet, but what is it like for you at home?

"Seemingly unprovoked" does not mean unprovoked, but perceived as unprovoked
The post asked for how Jewish opinions, this reply tries to sum up what they hear. Don't shoot the messenger.

Of course you can (and should, inho) disagree with the general opinion, fuck, they've been reelecting that absolute moron for how long?

At no point did I shoot the messenger, I'm just empathically saying there's no fence sitting in this situation that's extremely clear for anyone except those with a very 'European colonizer' mindset.
