you don’t think 1 billion people have more economic output than the 150 million or so that live in Germany, France and the UK? That’s pretty fucking racist.
So, by your own link, russia has not surpassed Japan, no.
Either way, “economic output” is what I give zero shits about. It’s quality of life what matters. Everything else is statistical wank for finance bros.
Not sure why you brought up incorrect comparisons of russia’s economy to a conversation about their fiscal responsibility, which has been proven to be idiotic (as it often is in autocratic oligarchies)
I’m just responding to a comment about them being able to afford it. They clearly have money on hand, which makes per capita GDP metrics a non sequitur given the oligarchic nature of Russia. Since it’s a war economy with a huge degree of state centralization, looking at total economic power makes a lot more sense, to me at least.
Why are we talking about quality of life suddenly? At no point did I say Russia was better than Japan-- i said they have plenty of capital and a relatively cheap labor pool.
I’m conceding that Russia can, in fact, waste money on Lemmy trolls. I still don’t think it’s at all likely and would be very happy to see some mod logs that prove me wrong.
Do you think there are Russian trolls on every discord server and IRC chat room too? It must be exhausting to live like that.
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.
Wtf are you on about. Japan’s GDP is more than twice as big as russias. Both per capita and annual.
I’m telling you that russia does not give a fuck about effectiveness.

I’m talking PPP, not dollars since that doesn’t make sense for a sanctioned country that doesn’t have legal dollar exchange mechanisms.
Oh wow, you found a metric where russia better, besides alcoholism!
By PPP metric India is better off than Germany, France and UK combined.
When you’re sanctioned to shit, you probably don’t have a lot of alternatives of what you can and cannot buy…
You’re comparing “Local Market” data, when talking about puchasing ads from X and Facebook…
Congrats, you’ve earned youself a tag.

Oh, so NOW we’re taking into account population?
