      I'm more worried about the amount of young people that will sign up to fight on the side of the fascists in an open war.

      Iraq and Afghanistan were these abstracted conflicts half-hidden from the public. It's going to be different when ads start running in between Apex Legends and Valorant games on Twitch streams encouraging young kids to be like Brimstone and defend the homeland from the foreigner.

      Yeah, I get taking up arms and having a sense of duty when your country is being bombed by fascist powers, not so much when your country is the fascist power doing the bombing.

      I think that's what the West knows in regards to the propaganda aimed at China. There are ignorant people out there who see China and fear a fascist takeover if the military doesn't do something.
