The need to demonize and Sanctify

A thread doomed to failure but...

Maybe this was always the case but I've noticed it lately. We seem to not be able to except that groups nominally on our side are not always great and groups nominally in the opposition aren't just wrong but evil.

Nominally on the right, Ukraine.

The anti-Ukraine side can't just say, it may not be in our best interest to spend a money on ukraine, its necessary for Ukraine to also be somehow in the wrong. Zelensky must also be a conman or what not.

Nominally on the left.

Its not sufficient for Israel to be executing the war in an excessively extreme manner they must also be committing genocide and Hammas must also be innocent of rape, murder ect.

Both version have folks buying into conspiracy theories.

Why? I don't get it. I can accept that while the West is guilty of unnecessary provocation by expanding NATO and flirting with admitting Ukraine, Putin is totally responsible for invading Ukraine and Zelensky is only guilty of being the president of Ukraine when that happened.
