Honestly, I would cringe when people blurted out, "Just get the jab!" like Pavlovian dogs, and wore masks to signal their compliance with the corporate cabal's direction.
Now, I cringe when I see people hanging Ukrainian flags in front of their houses and saying they, "stand with Ukraine".

They really mean they stand with the CIA vassal state that was created out of a successful coup.
One that will probably end up with us eating radioactive rats and squirrels as we navigate the hellscape of a nuclear holocaust.
As an actual 1st generation Ukrainian-American on my fathers side, I will admit this is annoying.
That said, Putin’s invasion is nothing new-Russia wants to control the Black Sea and Ukraine’s resources-it’s been that way for hundreds of years. Things took a chill pill after the Holodomor and the partisan rebellion during/post WWII, but Putin is reviving the old Stalinist/Ivan the Terrible/Peter the Great Russian nationalist butthurt pov to the fullest.
No apologies needed-if it wasn’t for Hitler and Stalin, I wouldn’t be alive, b/c my family would not have emigrated! As Mark Twain, I believe, said “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes”.
For all the legitimate paranoia and squawking about the “deep state” in American political life, the roots and tentacles of the USSR’s apparatus for state control, combined with traditional Russian paranoiac nationalism, make the US equivalent look like a mayor’s court in Hog Snout, Arkansas.
It's across the board as far as I can tell.

None of them could find Ukraine on a map or have read a lick of European history

I’m sorry for you and your family.
