      I believe it is called “clickbait.” As in “Click here to find out what terrible thing just happened to which NATO ally!”

      Somehow “ally” in this context makes it sound like Sweden is not part of NATO.

    Here are a few potential theories:

    • Conspiracy nut
    • Criminal gang acting on behalf of a foreign government
    • Domestic terrorist, recruited by foreign government
    • Foreign agent

    At this point I am leaning towards it being a conspiracy nut

      russia has been found to pay delinquents and gangs to sabotage stuff in their countries. A conspiracy nut would probably be even cheaper, you just have to wind them up enough.

        Simply because there are more conspiracy nuts than people and governments wanting to destroy infrastructure

    Newsweek is a terrible publication because all of their articles are extremely left leaning:

      Not sure if you are joking or not, but I’m pretty sure that only shows a default starting position of the “gauge”, and not the rating it has received so far. It’s bad design because it looks like everything is left-leaning, but I guess they wanted to uae a gauge in the neutral position as an illustration. I might be wrong though…

        It is objectively bad design that the arrow is leaning far left by default. It makes you wonder what else they messed up.

          The thing that says “click to rate” and has the pointer arm off the chart in it’s default “rest” position.

          Right, it’s right there
