The author makes some good points.

But then he also spends the few paragraphs laughing about executives operating based on beliefs/ideologies instead of facts.

Just to talk about EU letting some countries sliding into fascism.

Fascism : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

It seems that the author is also reasoning by pure ideology, ignoring simple facts.

Absolutely no countries in the EU are remotely close to being a fascist state.
