Nah I believe it. I’m thinking of the people who switched their entire identity from Social Justice to Ukraine for about 5 minutes.

What motives do you think would lead Luckey to make it up?

Obviously, to try and give an "I told you so" to all the people haranguing him for war profiteering.

Wouldn't that make those folks harangue him even harder for successfully convincing some to join the 'dark side' or something?

Though that would be assuming these folks have consistent goals regardless of temporary advantages.

Maybe some are so wishy washy that they would degenerate weapons manufacturers one day and praise them the next if it's for a cause they perceive to be beneficial. (And then switch back to degenerating asap)

I wouldn't be able to bring myself to respect such craven losers. If enduring that is what it takes to succeed in the defense sector or the peace movement then kudos to anyone who tries in either.
