Obviously fuck their governments, and the numerous institutions pushing Holocaust revisionism and denial and re-writing 20th century history. But blanket-condemning little countries like that, no matter how shitty their government is, feels different from blanket condemning the US or UK. They're under the NATO umbrella but despite being little pissant countries with fash governments they're not exerting hegemonic power and are at most expendable speed bumps for Imperialism. I can't imagine it's fun or say being a dissident in the Baltics. hell, I don't even think it's legal, is it?

Fascist collaborationist governments that have worked hard to control the narrative, erase the crimes of the 30s and 40s, and create a questionable view of 20th century history. It's like any other country - Shitheads, none shitheads, and regular people in between.

The group with 100 has 50 trans people (50%). The group with 1000 people has 500 trans people (also 50%). By your method, they would be 100% trans in total. In reality, the total would be that 550 out of 1100 are trans, again 50%. Second round: one group is 50/100 (50%) trans and the other is 50/1000 (5%) trans. Does that mean they are 55% trans cumulatively? No, they are 9.091% trans. idk the numbers for our instances but I imagine that it's around 25%. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] alcoholicorn@hexbear.net 17 points 3 years ago I like his method more. We can finally complete the gay agenda by adding together groups of 100% trans people until we achieve a 100,000% group, then adding that group to the rest of humanity. permalink fedilink source parent [+] Graphite22@hexbear.net 2 points 3 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] FuckYourselfEndless@hexbear.net 12 points 3 years ago 10% x 40% = 400% trans lemmyverse.

The group with 100 has 50 trans people (50%). The group with 1000 people has 500 trans people (also 50%). By your method, they would be 100% trans in total. In reality, the total would be that 550 out of 1100 are trans, again 50%. Second round: one group is 50/100 (50%) trans and the other is 50/1000 (5%) trans. Does that mean they are 55% trans cumulatively? No, they are 9.091% trans. idk the numbers for our instances but I imagine that it's around 25%. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] alcoholicorn@hexbear.net 17 points 3 years ago I like his method more.

[–] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 44 points 3 years ago* (2 children) 10% trans users on lemmygrad + 30% from hexbear, assuming we have no crossover (and I don't think we have much) means 40% of our combined user base is trans, WAY above world averages and way above what most instances can boast. 🤓 um, ackshually, it would be 20%, because sample percentages are averaged into each other when added, not counting for the actual numerical difference between the instances' userbases permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 44 points 3 years ago (1 child) cursed with being a data science major permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Frank@hexbear.net 30 points 3 years ago there there.

[–] CommunistCuddlefish@hexbear.net 36 points 3 years ago (1 child) Response 1 to that: "I believe you, but i honestly can't find anything fascist on their front page right now" Lol maybe they shouldn't believe a claim that has no evidence! Response to that: "Give it time. You'll stumble across a pro-Putin post eventually." Since when do leftists support a capitalist like Putin? This is what late-stage Russia Derangement Syndrome looks like. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 19 points 3 years ago* (last edited 4 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
