YouGov surveys are 99% shitty brand market research and 1% actually interesting legitamate studies. This one sadly was much shorter than I expected and offered little chance to express communist opinions.

There was questions with additional variables, such as whether sending weapons was projected to lead to more civilian deaths, how the international community/“international community” would react, whether America had publicly committed previously to help or to stay out of it, whether American troops were expected to get hurt, etc. (maybe a few others but I forgot to screenshot more), and how this might affect our jingoism when paired all together in a scenario.

I wish I had all screenshotted when they provided an email address for questions about the study, IIRC it is being conducted by someone from Oxford. I hope it’s not just being used to determine the war fever of the American people but I can’t see what else it would be used for. I hate that certain things like the assumption that this is a “democratically elected government” is completely devoid of the context that the American war propaganda media lies about critical details like this almost without exception.
