High IQ Mr E is back
Did reagan actually say that
@buyXRBpls Yes
.....
Why was I born
It's from this video clip I believe
The lack of self-awareness is amazing
towards the end of the clip
1:41
To be fair I think he was referring to ESOPs
But I know what quote to use when I run
@When Things Aren't Right Go Left Wouldn't more people in ukraine believe that now because their country is a warzone and partially demolished and in the USSR there wasn't civil war?
Infact one of the biggest reasons why people say that living conditions were better in the USSR was because the collapse hurt the economy and stability of russia a lot and lowered the living quality a lot as well, meaning that things in general go down.
@Deleted User I don't see your point
@When Things Aren't Right Go Left My point is that the USSR wasn't better, people just say living conditions were better, because the collapse of the union severely hurt russia, and destabilized it and it's now independent countries, hurting their living conditions and economies, but this has always happened, it happened in the collapse of austria hungary, rome, yugoslavia, and more, people will naturally say that times were better back then.
And I don't think that 12K online pollers are very representative of russia or it's now independent countries either.
As well as that, in most cases, it is hardly even the majority of the 12K pollers who did believe that life in the USSR was better, unless you look at the steppe countries, in which case, they HATED the USSR according to the poll.
@Deleted User Since 1991, the number of people, who regret it has not fallen below 50%.
I mean if Yeltsin was your president
I would want to go back immediately
@When Things Aren't Right Go Left It's at 25% among 18 year olds.
@Deleted User Well they didn't live in the USSR
@buyXRBpls >Kills everybody in the soviet congress and abolishes communism and nobody stops him

@When Things Aren't Right Go Left And yet it is still far in the minority for those who regret it collapsing, meaning that people are content with what they have now, while hardly a majority among the old believe that it actually was better in communism.
Imagine having an approval rating below 10%
W E W
@When Things Aren't Right Go Left I should actually say democratic socialism though, because that's exactly what the union was after stalin.
I mean he isn't wrong
About the polls
@buyXRBpls Wasn't Gorbachev's approval rating 20%?
Nationalism and wanting stability definitely are a factor in missing the union
Not Gorbachev
Yeltsin i mean
Ik
But no one likes Gorbachev either
@buyXRBpls Gorbachevs approval rating was up and down, I think it went down hardest when he made everything social democrat.
