    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.

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