They were empathetic enough towards white people to put their lives on the line, even if they didn't realize the extent of the danger they were walking into.
That's what's so pernicious about the propaganda. It takes otherwise good people and turns them into useful idiots. It hijacks the desire to do good and has those people do evil.
Those who care about the environment and the planet become pawns who are against fossil fuels and nuclear power.
Those with a strong sense of justice are turned into feminists and SJWs.
Those who have empathy for the others are turned into supporters for open borders and affirmative action.
Very true.
In this case, I don't think the Redditors were doing something evil, but they were just misled about how well Ukraine is doing so they were tricked into doing something much more dangerous than they expected. Some of the volunteers were apparently not even being given weapons because of supply issues.
