Sounds like you have a lot in common with the Palestine protestors who want to cancel everything Western. Which makes sense, since Russia is allied with Iran and their proxy Hezbollah.

This is what all makes me feel like the world is going nuts.

Leftists now call me right-wing reactionary... right-wingers call me a commie... they both have the same talking points and a lot of the same allegiances but often don't bother to follow back the layers to see it.

I feel like both sides throw the baby out with the bathwater. On "our" (since most of us here are conservative or conservative-adjacent) side is at risk of doing what a lot of conservatives did during Vietnam where we support something because the people protesting it are idiots we don't agree with on other things.

On the left they can't just simply say "I'm worried about the kids in Gaza so I want this conflict to end", which is a perfectly reasonable position to have. They feel like they have to go all the way into supporting Hamas.
