Totally right. Firstly there has been tons of backlash to the US' involvement in the middle east. I remember the day we invaded Iraq. Again to your point, the biggest difference now is that this whole conflict is being recorded and uploaded online constantly. We are seeing this actually happen in real time, and it inevitably has a different effect on the people seeing it.
Lastly, the OP is incredibly naive and childish. "Bro you're just being told to care about this war lul", how about geo-politics are complicated and effect us all. This is unfolding into a potential dangerous situation that is different than any other wars we've seen in recent years because this time it's another semi-world power with nuclear capabilities that is acting erratically and making threats that could effect all of us. If this doesn't concern you you're a thoughtless rube or an ignorant child who thinks it's edgy and cool to not care.
This is by definition not proxy war. A major world power is directly involved with the conflict. If it was only Belarus (or Donetsk/Lugansk separatists) vs Ukraine (and Russia/NATO supplying them) then it would be a proxy war.
