        I think you’re confusing “many” with “most”. The definition of “many” does not mean the largest, just simply large.

        25% of 150 million is a pretty large number of people. “Many” is vague enough that you shouldn’t be calling anyone dumb over it.

          75% of 150 million is still a significantly larger number, regardless. In this context, does not fall under “many”.

          And calling a pro-Russian troll dumb is fine, because only feelings are hurt, meanwhile actual lives are being lost thanks to Russians invading Ukraine, and is competitively worse.

            I think you’re mistaking “many” for “most”. There are objectively many Russians against putins bullshit. And the original comment specifically said they’re afraid to speak out, meaning part of those you say are for putin are just stuck, like so many others around the world. The only troll here is you, every reply you’ve gotten is way more friendly than you deserve. (I refuse to capitalize putins name, and wish nothing but death to him, his regime and everyone supporting him).

            There can be multiple groups of many people in a population. It doesn’t have to be a majority to be significant.

        25% of millions of people is still many people, they didn’t say “a majority of people”.
