It was much more all encompassing, but despite that, millions of people even in the heart of empire saw through it, it wasn't very successful in making people in the west sympathise with genocidaires, even when most people in the west previously had sympathised with them. There have been a lot of pro-Palestine protests, despite the media and police response to them. But I haven't seen any "stop the war" protests in the west trying to put an end to the Ukraine war.
And I think this is why libs always end up trailing 3-5 years behind conservatives on unhinged nonsense, the conservatives have always been living in a "post truth" headspace, but libs are still in denial about it.
That's quite a good point, come to think of it.
Might be because the Gaza holocaust is an extremely obvious genocide, whereas the details of the NATO proxy war in Ukraine are harder to understand due to geopolitical complexities.
But there is definitely no daylight in the foreign policy overton window for anti-war voices. At least here in KKKanada
. We just immediately get accused of being pro-Russia and repeating their "talking points" whatever that means. The only person of any significance who is anti-NATO is Yves Engler, and he's being systematically excluded from the national conversation.
Honestly, seeing the entire western world simultaneously gearing up in lock step for the impending geopolitical showdown between the old powers and the new is fucking terrifying, and very few people see this coming.
The whole of Europe and KKKanada are all cutting social services at the same time and putting all that money into the military.
Damn what a coincidence right?
In Europe there have been quite a few mobilizations (quite small though, only a few thousand at a time usually)
