This is interesting, but it’s strange that you would challenge the quality of information due to a missing SSL certificate and then cite Wikipedia, a site renowned for being unreliable and not authoritative.
Wikipedia claims to be up to date, but it relies on World Bank data from 2021. The article (now articles) being contested purport to rely on more recent data, claiming that Russia moved up for the first time since 2014 in 2022 – a year and dataset that is not (yet) captured by Wikipedia.
In good faith, this could be because the 2021 numbers are for the per capita figures, and the 2022 numbers for the PPP figures. But that’s rather favourable and would also suggest that per capita and PPP are incomparable. The one cannot be used to dispute analysis based on the other, especially if the person collecting the data treats them as different.
Regardless, if you read the link you posted and arrange the table by GDP (nominal) per capita using data from the IMF, World Bank, or UN, most of the top countries are tax havens! At least 3/10 (IMF), 9/10 (World Bank), and 6/10 (UN). (To be fair, the UN discounts some of those from it’s numerical ranking even if they are still in the top ten.)
There’s even a warning:
Many of the leading GDP-per-capita (nominal) jurisdictions are tax havens whose economic data is artificially inflated by tax-driven corporate accounting entries.
This data does show something important, albeit unrelated to the original post: the Anglo-European empire, claiming to have no money to improve living standards while it’s people freeze, overheat, starve, and suffer from preventable or treatable illnesses, is already at war with it’s domestic citizens. Otherwise those tax havens wouldn’t exist. The problem for the ‘cost of living crisis’ for ordinary westerners is nothing to do with Russia (or China) but is due to the fact that it’s wealthiest have absconded with all the ‘disposable income’.
Awesome reply 👍
if you’re disputing the numbers quoted please do provide a trustworthy source
Here are two examples, Yogthos. And rigour of the highest order is guaranteed because the site owners filled in their SSL certificates.

Hey dude, how much does the CIA pay you? Do you think you could get me a job there or they only hire white first world fascists like you?
y’all need to calm down with suspecting ppl are cia honestly 💀😬
literally the lib equivalent of calling ppl a russian bot
That’s right never assume malice when stupidity will suffice.
My god, I will now be so much more kinder to myself
LOL, LMAO even
Sure but have you noticed his account’s name and his post history? It is too fishy.
an account named after a movie character, about 4 months old, being supportive of the west? literally like all of reddit would be cia by that criterion lol
an account named after a movie character…
I think AnonymouseJoker is referring to their username (Otan) instead of their display name (Manderlorian).
OTAN… NATO… all his posts are agenda based affirming to this suspicion. Even if he is not literally paid, it is too fishy.
a person supporting nato = cia? y’all need to chill, this isn’t nearly important enough to demand such attention bruh
I also don’t believe he’s paid, which makes it even worse really.
If we do not pay attention, Lemmy will become a clone of r/worldnews or r/geopolitics or any of those propaganda dogwater subreddits.

I don’t see much in common between the way leftists use “CIA”, rightists use “CIA”, and liberals use “RUSSIAN SABOTEUR!”
The latter has replaced pinko. The second means Jews. The first means the actual CIA.
all of them are a useless insult used to avoid addressing the point
@k_o_t @gary_host_laptop TRUE
I did not know SSL certificates determined journalistic integrity. Thanks, OTAN @ Mander.xyz with exclusive OTAN posts.
