A tweet like this is such an amazing artifact of online brain poisoning. Like you\u2019re an online neoliberal, and you\u2019re just getting madder and madder at all these leftists you hate always offhandedly mentioning how awful WW1 is, and you wanna be contrarian to anything they think, because they lie and exaggerate stuff all the time.
And at some point you become convinced that like war is actually enjoyable for the soldiers fighting it.

No the worst thing is it’s right, the postwar favor and patronage of (left-leaning) cliques like the Bloomsbury Group substantially is why we think of the war through the eyes of say Wilfred “Dulce et Decorum Est” Owen and not all the ra-ra patriots that got their battlefront poems run in newspapers at the time.
