I saw a tall thin millenial with a fashionable haircut in a DIY shop a couple of days ago. He was there with his son, who I think is in my daughter's year at school.
His son, around 8 yo was wearing a Ukraine t shirt so I suggested to the man that he reads too much MSM and that he should stop supporting Ukraine.
I said I'd been studying Ukraine since '14 and the MSM was lying.
He looked at me incredulous and asked me who had been bombing Ukrainians since '14 so I said "Ukrainans"
He issued verbal abuse to me and told me to "Jog on!"
The anger on his face that I should disagree with his virtue signalling was fierce.
TBH, I wasn't feeling well disposed to him at the beginning as he was thoughtlessly blocking my way for a minute in the aisle. If he'd been a bit more gracious, I would probably not have tackled him on his use of his son's clothing to virtue signal and shill for intervention.
Anyway, his hostility was even more than I anticipated.
Whenever I see that flag in a profile picture I just know I'm seeing an NPC
