"campist"
Literally just "voting for the lesser evil" but applied to geopolitics.
except it's not even that.
We don't require that people "vote for Russia" or "vote for Iran"
We just require that our own nation doesn't attack others. We vote "No War" as opposed to "War"
The bar is so low for social chauvinists, all they need to do to be absolved of their sins of chauvinism is to oppose their own country's war. They can't even clear that.
campism also makes no sense. There are no "equal" camps. Its not German Empire vs French Empire vs Italian Empire vs Japanese Empire vs British Empire vs Russian Empire vs Austrian Empire.
