tuxd3v The idea is simple actually "declare criminals as good guys", for example, Zelensky and rest of the Ukranian government should be in prison for what they did since 2014. (and before for that matter), and they likely will.
Then, you declare good guys to be criminals and push propaganda further. So, ISIS were not really a good guys, but, there were other invented names in Syria that were declared "good guys", and ofc. Assad is "insane dictator", it's really "a classic" example of most primitive propaganda one could imagine. Ofc. "we" (US/EU/whoever is on that side) are the "good guys", and famous "democracy and freedom vs dictatorship" nonsense. It serves 2 purposes, it's a "feel good" personal projection of the population, and it goes into the interest of the corrupt people who are manipulating truth.
For example, every American or European would "feel good about him/herself" if he/she thinks that "we are free world", but, if you have such irrational belief in your domestic population, you can project "but we have to save X people from evil Y dictator", and it will work, as long as majority of your population is oblivious to the facts of the reality around them.
That's the core idea of Nazism or "exceptionalism" (US method), they are basically the same, both believe in superiority, the only difference is that Nazis believe in superiority by "race" ("Aryan race"), while in exceptionalism, you believe in superiority of "culture", for the most part "democracy" and similar feel good nonsense.
Now, it would be hard for average American or European to say "yup, I live in corrupt country where evil people are on the power" simply because that's in direct contradiction of "exceptionalism/Nazism" ideology.
The big difference between Ukraine and Syria is that in Ukraine there are Russians (at least 30-40%, in reality probably over 70% when self-declaration is excluded and objective reality observed), and they have been killed for 8+ years by Nazis for only one reason = because they are Russians, that's the "primary sin", basically, the same as the topic we are discussing on, while directly/seemingly unrelated, it is exact same reason why OpenBLAS is deciding to drop Elbrus CPU support, only one reason = It's Russian. Same reason why Huawei is banned in the US = It's Chinese (ofc. for that is used "security threat" excuse, like Android or Windows are not a security threat across the globe..., it's nonsense without principles...). That is the main reason why Russians are so careful to have as little civilians killed, and that's exact same reason why "Ukranians" have no issue to kill civilians (Buca example, they killed mostly people with "white band" on their arms = people who do not support Ukro-Nazis and then blamed Russia ofc.).
War is business for some sides, mainly US will profit in this conflict, everyone else is on the lost. US is in economicaly terrible situation, debt is insane, and you don't need to be an economist to figure out that is really bad, inflation is high in past 2 decades, nothing is so sudden or "Putin fault". So, US will sell weapons to Ukraine, to other EU countries because of "threat of Russia", potentially even gas/oil and so on. EU will lose a lot, because they will need to pay much more for all of that, Russia will be at loss as well on the short run. So everyone loses really, hence why my first comment about Ursula and other unelected morons from the "EU". Keep in mind that, despite what the goal is, US is one of the few (if not only) countries that did actually profit from WW2.
I think it's highly related to a "digital age", it's much easier to have delusions in it, especially with "social networks" and platforms. While things you've mentioned probably do matter as well, I think "mass delusion" is so much easier with "(anti)-social networks".
