collective punishment is a term that I had not heard, or at least not a serious concept, until this war and seen it all over the most bloodthirsty libs on twitter and reddit.
stuff like that makes you think. on the one hand it could propaganda forces pushing a concept to advance their goals, kinda like they did with "whatboutism" in the 70s.
I dont think that is the case in this instance, rather I think its just a way for liberals to feel good about cheering on death.
