I share your anger. I try to imagine a world in which RUSSIA overthrows their government and JOINS NATO rather than remaining an international pariah. The enemy in this conflict is Putin’s Kremlin, not Russian citizens, who are mostly innocent victims of the Kremlin’s geopolitical propaganda. I imagine that the more the world piles on ignorant Russian citizens, the more Russian citizens are likely to side with their corrupt government.

What is a climate looney? Typically nihilistic attitudes wouldn’t involve strong opinions about policy either way, anyway not mentioned in this study as far as I can tell.
Ontological world views can definitely change over time….
