I’ve had multiple family members deployed to active warzones.

Whenever we talked about war, it was never about politics. It was always “X’s tour is supposed to finish next month,” or “I heard something happened near [town], wasn’t X deployed near there?”

I know how everyone talks about it on the internet, but what is it like for you at home?

      My working definition is something like liberals would like everyone to be happy and get along but aren’t willing to give up an ounce of their own privilege for that to happen. Also quite ignorant about the actual realities of the social issues they allegedly care about. Can be mixed with many other ideologies because it doesn’t have any political substance of its own.

        I agree with your definition. I would also add that liberals support the institution of capital and generally provide cover for it’s coercive nature.
