What a straw man argument.
Just because the majority hold an opinion does not make that opinion right. But that scarcely means someone needs to go to war over it. In my time living in Europe the majority opinion was that the US Marshall Plan to rehabilitate Europe after WWII was not altruistic at all, that it was a self serving thing for the Americans to reconstruct a market for their goods so Europe would become dependent on them.
They believed this because it is largely taught in their universities. And nothing has really changed about that to this day:

I am entirely capable of considering the EU ungrateful wretches who are too cheap to pay for their own defense without desiring them to be ruled by a dictator though.
