I find this mindset very relaxing. Maybe too relaxing. I want to grill for god's sake, but I also want to do everything I can to deprogram westerners from war propaganda. Even if it doesn't prevent or end the war, it can lower morale.
I agree that we shouldn't be so relaxed to the point that we just don't bother challenging any narratives. On the other hand though, we shouldn't allow our thoughts to be so dominated by propaganda and various online spaces that we become depressed over it. I think if you read my past comments, you'll get glimpses of me that showed I got kinda consumed by propaganda (not believing it, but obsessing over it). Things usually aren't as bad as our imaginations make out. The US has thrown a lot at China over the years and they just keep marching on, their position improving by the day.
Just this past month I've seen 2 pro-China tiktok videos, 1 explicitly pro, one more subtle that genuinely surprised me because many people liked them enough to get them viral. Worldnews subreddit slowly starting to defend China was also a pleasant surprise. Just knowing there are a growing number of people fighting alongside you makes the day so much better.

Didn't some bald guy talk about revolutionary defeatism.
