Look into Chomsky as an example of the common thought on the left. The mindset is pervasive, which isn't to say that many on the far-right aren't just as guilty if not guiltier, given their far reach with the help of people like Musk.

Ahh, I forgot that Chomsky took that stance. I generally liked his opinions on things, but as he's gotten older, his views have gone a bit odd.

Looking into it a bit further, I was surprised to see the DSA officially doesn't support sending arms to Ukraine (though the DSA members in congress do support it). I get that they're anti-war, and don't want to support the military industrial complex any further, but at least in this specific case, it seems shortsighted of them.

I stand corrected.
