@h0ly0utlaw@AmiriKing@RoyIsThaTruth If you want to be treated like a serious person, don't say retarded, baseless things like "Slaves retained basic human rights"
@burlswealy59918@zeanxe@coach28373@DreamLeaf5 Gdp per capita is highly correlated with prosperity. And your original point was that prosperity caused declining crime. Now you're arguing that low crime drives prosperity. Those are 2 separate causal relationships, neither of which you've provided empirical evidence to support
@burlswealy59918@zeanxe@coach28373@DreamLeaf5 I was referring to the "I wouldn't be incentivized" part of your statement. But also the US is far wealthier than Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc.. but the US has a significantly higher violent crime rate as well. Prosperity is far from the most predictive variable for crime
@mastershah313@annoying_cowbag@JaydaBF The number of sexual assaults in England and Wales in 1995 was 19,000. Now you say it's 900,000. That's 47x higher than 30 years ago. And your argument is that white British people just got super rapey over the last 3 decades?
