In discussing the poll about Romania here (in fact it’s two polls by two different research companies(1)) which display an outright majority of Romanians saying in 2010 and 2015 that life was better under socialism I had someone respond to me saying that it wasn’t true and his friend laughed so hard when Ceaucescu was shot
He proceeded to tell me people who spoke Hungarian were executed so I pointed out that Russian, Hungarian and Ukrainian were recognised languages in Romania
I laughed then asked this guy if his friend was an emigree
To which he said yes, to the US into the tech industry and it’s always the same story lol
I then supplied the link with the polls and he said “it’s only a poll of 1000 in a country of 22 million” to which I pointed out 1000 is the gold standard and provides only a margin of error of 2.2
If you were to poll 10,000 for instance you only bring the margin of error down to 1.0
It is funny seeing shitlibs become as brainwashed as they think communists are and the mental gymnastics they have to do daily to defend this fuckin awful system
100% this.
