That's not a convincing answer.

Before our exchange you didn't know what a list experiment was or what the term preference falsification meant.

Yet you were aggressively parroting the standard polemic about "innocent russians" and "all polling is wrong because it doesn't align with my message".

And now you're acting all high and mighty with strawn men and "vastly different takeaways".

You claim that the paper shows the mere existence of preference falsification. This is complete bullshit and you know it.

Preference falsification = A - B

Where:

A (~75%) = support for genocidal imperialism via regular polling

B (~65%) = support for genocidal imperialism via list experiments

If you don't believe A or B to be true, then you can't define whether preference falsification exists.

This is basic logic and you've totally failed it.

Diplomatic resolution? What's that?

Russia continues to occupy 20% of Ukraine and then attacks again when they are ready?

Fucking awesome diplomatic resolution!

I am asking you about the hows and whys because you made a claim that we need to support russian "dissidents".

Is it not reasonable to ask what and when we'll see the outcome of this?

Why would you do something if you have no plan for how and when to achieve a given outcome?

You've thankfully never had to actually deal with russians, that's what's driving your petty bullshit and delusions.

Let's hope things stay that way, for your own benefit.

Here's a link to the study I mentioned earlier, which indicates that list experiments are not an accurate way to determine the level of preference falsification.
In it, the real response was often more than double the difference between direct polling and the list experiment results.

You continue to argue against things I've never said. Calling you out for saying I've said or argued for something which I haven't is not acting high and mighty.
And yet, here you are doing it again...

I never said all polling is wrong, just polling that didn't properly account for falsification, which the list method is clearly unable to do.

More of the surveyed Russians said they would prefer to talk with Ukraine over continuing military actions.
That doesn't mean that's what the government/Putin also believes, it means the population would generally prefer diplomacy over war.

By your same line of logic, why should anyone support LGBT people in places where it's illegal if you don't have any plans to change their country's laws?
We need timeline estimates otherwise it's pointless.

It's a terrible defeatist argument which is not worth humoring.

I'm done talking with you now.
You're deliberately ignoring and misinterpreting any points that don't align with your view, and its tiring.

All that said, this has been an interesting bit of insight into the mind of a bigot.

I will need to take a more in-depth look the paper, but reading the introduction and conclusion, I don't see such a clear critique, it sounds like you mostly made it up.

You just learned what a list experiment was just a few days ago and were arguing for a comical anecdotal view, so pardon my scepticism regarding your ability to read papers or act in good faith.

Prefer to talk to Ukraine = continue to occupation of Ukrainian territory, with torture camps and experimentation Ukrainian identity. I.e. genocidal imperialism.

We've seen how the russians acted after 2014, there is no reason trust them to act differently now.

You're a delusion child, that is too cowardly to admit their mistakes and take a sober look at reality.

I'm not going to waste any more time arguing against your assumptions, false claims and flawed reasoning, when it's clear you have no interest in thinking critically about the matter.

Congrats, you win 👍

Nothing to do with "winning" and I never framed it as such. For me "winning" is kicking the Russians out of my country, not some internet discussion (like for you).

Keep on white washing russian crimes and enabling the degeneracy of a strong majority of russian society.

Just watch that it doesn't bite you and your family in the ass one day! Your delusion will not be of much use then!
