The poll you are replying to literally demonstrates that is not the case when people are exposed to and fully aware of the actions that the US military and its allies engage in. The bourgeoise will always attempt to control the narrative and bend public will, that is the entire point of war propaganda. However, the public can understand the truth behind why this is all happening and see through the lies. Most are ignorant, and simply follow what they are told.

Which is precisely the point of war propaganda. That’s why this “empathy” seems jarring and out of place.

These people have the capacity of free will. They are not shambling automatons waiting for new programming with no autonomy or responsibility. You can choose to characterise the worst atrocities you can think of at people just not having enough information or being manipulated. That does not exonerate them.
The vast majority of Americans support its “defence” forces and its interests.
