I can totally see your point there. I wished for Nato to be gone and even tho my view has slightly shifted, I definitely see the criticism. As for political reforms, I mainly back them because they suit my views, but of course that doesn't necessarily mean they are objectively good. It's a hard one. I mean, of course: if it was that easy, we probably wouldn't have heated discussions about it.
And in conflict, truth is what dies first, so my main hope for the future is that the past becomes clearer.
Idk if you will find it ironic, but what I hate most about the war besides people dying is, that I cannot even wear my grandpa's NVA uniform at Halloween without getting those weird (is he really backing THOSE GUYS) looks. This pigeonhole black-and-white-thinking makes me sick because it splits instead of unifying us in a time where the Far-Right is on the rise.
