That’s what my parents think, and it’s taking me a while to really stop thinking that myself after being taught it

One of the most messed up things about armed conflict from cultural perspective is how easily people get "into" it. When they hear that there's some conflict going on, the initial reaction is fear and disturbance, but once they come across the nationalistic aspects of it - "fighting for freedom/rights/country/etc" - they easily buy into it, like there is little to no thought process going on in regards to it.
Even when the narrative of fighting for freedom/peace is clearly fallacious and outright wrong, people still buy into it. There's no freedom people are attaining, and the "fighting for peace" part is plain absurd. If you wanted peace, you'd choose diplomacy, but all you do is have people killed on your behalf. A diplomatic resolution of conflict would save way more lives than the continuation of the killing.
