Such a bizarre phenomena that otherwise intelligent people seem completely unable to grasp the notion that Ukrainian soldiers might believe they’re fighting for one thing(ie. defending their country against a foreign invader because they’re good patriotic nationalists) when in actuality they’re really fighting for something completely different.

Like it or not, do you novelty take about it if you want, call people Putin shills if it makes you feel better - they’re objectively fighting so their children can get gender reassignment surgery and weird perverts can have hegemonic cultural power in their country.
