Nice! I managed to get my social credit score over 4000 for the first time ever since federation happened

I'm so happy I can finally stop being shamed by my family for being a sorry excuse of a Maoist

Easy to admit their country is shit. Harder to admit their country is worse than the Asians'

Fascist states famously sold off large amounts of state assets to capitalists. Nazi Germany even inspired a new word for this, called "privatization" because they did it so much

It's okay to not have opinions on things you don't know. Learn so that you can create informed opinions

What if they hate/cut off fascists though?

I know a lot of people who are close friends with BJP fans and I always thought that was fucking weird

Statistics is not intuitive and weird. If the population of people asked were randomly chosen in a representative manner, then 1 thousand people is definitely enough for an accurate reading for a country of 40 million people

You only need 1068 people to achieve a 95% confidence interval (95% of answers are expected to be the same if you redid the survey, also the industry standard to achieve) and 3% margins of error for a population of 40 million

Play around with the calculator a little bit and you'll find something interesting. 2400 people are needed for a 95% interval of the population of USA (300 million). However, if you increase that population size from 300 million into even dozens of billions, the sample size required to achieve 95% confidence increases slower and slower to the point where it's almost useless to increase your sample size past a few thousand

Yep, I also feel like many people have inserted their own reality of history where all the anti war protests and fraggings were because the Americans wanted to stop killing others

But if you actually read the sentiment from people back then, the seemingly strongest sentiment was to stop the war because too many Americans were coming back in body bags and American soldiers were heavily demoralized from the nightmarish conditions of guerilla warfare against the Vietnamese

They just didn't want more Americans to die for a reason they've never been told about

That was clearly a joke

The Great Firewall was to protect their own citizens from being data mined from foreign companies and propagandized by hostile state actors that want to put the Chinese in mines to extract resources for dirt cheap like they've done to many other nations in Africa, South America, and Asia

It was absolutely not obvious at all to Americans back then. Or more accurately, they wanted to believe the lies so they did

73% of Americans were in favor of invading Iraq

"Relatives" is a very purposely vague term to use

I have so many relatives that I've never met or only met less than 3 times

If the connections were close relatives even to first degree cousins, they would've said so

Because China was mentioned by a

I'm Canadian too don't pretend like you have anything going for you

I've lived back and forth between both actually

Grateful I've never had to step foot in worst America though

Morning Aussies, greetings from America 🦅

Hope you guys aren't doing too bad, wish I could help you all immigrate here or something
