Not true. She has written about Putin several times.

And, it does take two parties or more to engage in conflict, my friend. Pointing that out is not the same as wanting the war.

She has recently written a series of articles encouraging people to take up growing some of their own food. Not one mention of doom porn or apocalypse. Expected food shortages are news now so this series is practice, not cult of doom stuff.

But if you want to talk about cults and cult behavior.... ???

You don't have to read her work. Nobody is forcing you. You can mute her so you won't see her stuff. You don't have to throw stones because she's a more successful writer than you. You don't have to demand that thousands of people who find solace in her pessimism, practicality, and angrily laying out the craziness of political theater kowtow to your preference for head in the sand, forced optimism where everything is rosy while bodies pile up in the streets.

You do you, my man. Just remember what happens when you point your finger at someone. Three fingers point back at you.

Yeah. She plainly and bluntly says what a lot of people are thinking about what they're seeing in the world today. That's not a cult, that's community. If you want to be successful as a writer, why don't you build your own community instead of trying to destroy hers?
