    Okay, you use the “metric” that makes most sense to you. Best, keep those metrics and comparisons to yourself.

    It must be exhausting to live like that.

    Why? I don’t give two shits about them. They’re a waste of blood and organs, I tag them and move on with my life. Just like christo-fashist muricans.

    It must be exhausting being a simp for russia though. Trying to squeeze out every “positive” graph and putting so much effort into trying to prove that ‘russia stronk bliat’ should be exhausting.

          Why are you insulting me for disagreeing with you?

          Why is it that everyone who disagrees with you is a foreign agent?

          How am I being pro Russia? I called them oligarchic AND pointed out that any strength implied by that graph is due from war expenditures and not some underlying strength.

          if PPP wasn’t a useful indicator of purchasing power, it probably wouldn’t be called purchasing power parity and be published by the World Bank.

          My only claim here is that it would be silly to waste time on Lemmy when there are bigger and easier fish to fry. I’m not even denying Russian propagandists exist and called Tim Pool a shill.

          I am incredibly amused that this somehow adds up to being a Russian troll rather than someone who can hear and acknowledge opinions that are different than my own.

          Good luck with the whole fascism thing. I’m sure your echo chamber will win the election next time!

            Why are you insulting me for disagreeing with you?

            I’m insulting you because you’re arguing in bad faith on purpose

            Why is it that everyone who disagrees with you is a foreign agent?

            Is this “everyone” in the room with you right now? Nowhere in our exhange did I call you an agent or a troll. I did call you a simp though.

            How am I being pro Russia? I called them oligarchic AND pointed out that any strength implied by that graph is due from war expenditures and not some underlying strength.

            if PPP wasn’t a useful indicator of purchasing power, it probably wouldn’t be called purchasing power parity and be published by the World Bank.

            That’s not how statistics and data work at all.

            My only claim here is that it would be silly to waste time on Lemmy when there are bigger and easier fish to fry. I’m not even denying Russian propagandists exist and called Tim Pool a shill.

            Because russia is known to be a mastermind expanding galaxy brain. No silly decisions there.

            I am incredibly amused that this somehow adds up to being a Russian troll rather than someone who can hear and acknowledge opinions that are different than my own.

            Your weird fantasy again

            Good luck with the whole fascism thing. I’m sure your echo chamber will win the election next time!

            No u

              Purchasing power parity isn’t used to measure purchasing power?

              Fuck. I might have to discard my multiple advanced degrees in mathematics.

              I’m not arguing in bad faith. I’m sharing my opinion, backed by my own research experience in Cybersecurity and AI that this seems incredibly unlikely and kindly provided a source for the numbers I cited while you continuously insult me.

              Occam’s razor would suggest that everyone who disagrees with you on the internet isn’t a simp for Russia and that a diversity of opinions is natural.

              I’ve not said anything positive about Russia at all-- just that their PPP is higher than Japan’s, which isn’t an opinion at all.

                At this point you’re having an imaginary conversation with your imaginary people. You’re trying to put words in my mouth and you’re failing miserably.

                …my multiple advanced degrees in mathematics…
                …cybersecurity and AI…
