This is a very scare monger-y article.
Citation needed. The majority want war? I very much doubt that. There will always be some people pushing for war for either ideological or financial reasons, but I very much doubt it's the majority.
Are they perfectly united?, it certainly doesn't seem it.
Even the Anarchists fight for Ukraine. Their government certainly faces a large issue with corruption, but If they fall to Russia, it's a guarantee things WON'T improve.
Unions are coming back in a big way, and are already getting some decent wins for the working class, to paint it as all bad is weighting the negative much higher than the positive.
He puts this in the article, and then says:
Why put in that fearmongering statistic just to immediately say he's not sure why we should trust him? Because we shouldn't, he IS just some billionaire investor, and doesn't have any sort of special insight to war than any other person has, he just pulled those numbers out of his bum.
IMO, I think his argument is built on his own bias of cynicism and unfounded assumptions. But that's just my 2 cents.
Thanks for this. I left immediately after I read “NATO expansionism” as the chief reason for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. They can fuck all the way off with that.
