So I’m guessing the context is war and it’s the fact that soldiers are depicted that triggered you?
If you just put something like “I hate how this glorifies the navy/army/ww2” before your rant, I’m sure people would understand where you’re coming from and be more receptive to your message.
This patronising and disconnected type of commenting is not going to make any meaningful impact on the people receiving it - quite the opposite; you make people want to ignore you when you’re being hostile out the gate for no reason.
If your goal is to make people turn off their ears and ignore anything you try to tell them, you’re doing a splendid job though.
To what reason? The story is replicated a milion times at least by now, you will probably find it and alternative stories all over any major search engine or LLM.
… to demonstrate that you understand it, not that LLM sloppers can regurgitate it.
I’d like to recommend a book that kick-started my journey into thinking about and understanding humans as social animals and why we gather as we do. The deeply ingrained need to eat, dance, and gossip, and how that might translate into modern times by marching together. And also how important compassion and empathy is for our survival, and why it might feel more distant the bigger our world has become.
Dawn over the Kalahari : how humans became human by Lasse Berg.
There are other books in the series tackling more modern times that I haven’t read (I haven’t found them in a language I speak well enough) that might actually be even more relevant to where you are today if you can find and understand them… but even the first book, particularly towards the end tying it all together and the social shift from gatheres to farmers, was a great philosophical jumping off point for me.
I’m sure there is better material out there but this one did it for me back in the day. Hopefully it holds up still, and perhaps you’ll find it interesting.
I don’t even think people need to be pushed, rather it’s natural that the minds of people who spend a lot of time together start to align. In what way they align is where leadership and peer pressureand propaganda plays a role… But I’d love to check it out. Do you have any specific material to start me off?
Btw, I really appreciate that your writing is more calm and focused on connecting and helping me understand you, rather than coming off as antagonistic, these past few messages. Thank you.

… would you like to elaborate how WW2 started.

Alex, what is “The invasion of Poland”?
