Wow. You read the article in three minutes!
“Wow. You read the article in three minutes!”
And so? It’s familiar material if you’ve read it over the years.
“Wow. You read the article in ______ minutes!”
Way back in high school my wise art teacher pointed out a useful tip:
You can get the point of a paper fast by reading the first sentence of each paragraph.
I’ve also learned that, thanks to reading enough over decades, it’s pretty easy to get the point of a paper by sampling portions of it, without having to read the entirety - it’s probably pretty close to something already read, studied, and refuted.
So yeah - article was read sufficiently buy several of us in just a few minutes. Doesn’t take long to see it’s yet another ignorant self righteous screed, the author not comprehending the horrors of war and the difficulty in disengaging from it, and the author opting to entertain conspiracy theories.
Did some well connected leaders manipulate the ear to favourable outcomes? Yeah, probably. Could WWII have ended months earlier? Doubt it, war isn’t stopped like turning off a switch - unless you strike with such overwhelming force the opposition faces an instant existential crisis only resolved by instant and total submission.
Did not have to read whole article. Premise is false
