It seems like either you or I might’ve completely misunderstood something here, please explain the equivalence.

They are saying that people who live to be over forty (especially in the U.S) are more likely to be rich, and therefore pro-capitalism, since poorer people are much more likely to die young.

He’s saying that if you’re a leftist, you’re much more likely to die early.

this diagram is showing where planes that got shot and returned to base. a naive approach to the problem would be to reinforce the bits that got shot up. except what this diagram is actually showing is where planes can get shot and still safely return home - the places where there’s NO damage are the critical areas of the plane since no plane returned home after sustaining damage to those parts. that is, it’s a diagram showing survivorship bias.

Shortly before his death, as he was failing in mind and body, Molotov, who was cared for by his grandchildren, was watching TV one day when Soviet Foreign Minister, Edvard Shevardnadze came on the news making some statement. Molotov rose from chair in a rage, shouting “What the hell is he saying! That’s revisionism! Pure revisionism! Worse than revisionism! Has he gone off his head? I hope Stalin hasn’t gotten wind of this yet, or there’ll be hell to pay. Tell Shevardnadze I want to see him in my office TODAY at 4:00 pm SHARP. And he better have a good explanation for this garbage!”

The stupider version of this quote that says yall need to be capitalism supporters by 30 or so , believes in the myth called upward mobility ! Which despite of what economy has been , was not true for majority of the working class !
