"What makes you special? Don't think too hard, just have fun with it."
I'm not special, I think way too much about things, and I dislike having fun.

@HobsonsPledgeNZ I'm a maori who tries to talk honestly and reasonably about race in new zealand, I keep being called a racist and accused of being associated with you lot...
I can only assume you're a fairly rational bunch?

@Melahi65919940 @MikeNewZ_ @MayorWayneBrown @williamson_nz @winstonpeters one people? you can't even pick one language.
You realise maori didn't have a word for treaty, tiriti is on par with white folk mispronouncing maori words.

@HasanabiProd Sounds like a bloody good explanation to me.

@offthegrid1013 @jamesnoble57257 @HumzaYousaf @RupertLowe10 I think you'll appreciate this one.

@peterboghossian What happens next?
Do they stab him?

@TimtatiousTimmy @ruicharadrius Fraud isn't burglary.
Would a rich person break into your home to steal your tv?

@MmmmOk30932281 @ruicharadrius It's about violence and the tiny percentage of people who commit the majority of it.
It was never about the bottom 2% in financial terms, wealth or socioeconomic conditions.
It's about the 2% who repeatedly choose violence.

[Layor_Trop @LayorTrop]

@MmmmOk30932281 @ruicharadrius Measurable violence and repeat offenders are the main focuses, often correlated with a lower socioeconomic standing and lower intelligence, but i don't think those are actual drivers or causes.
Plenty of poor people aren't criminals, and plenty of repeat offenders have wealth.

@kissthishlong @ruicharadrius Poor places are not always crime ridden hell holes.
Why are you so judgemental against the poor?

[Layor_Trop @LayorTrop]

@jake1488x @ruicharadrius I'm fairly archaic and it's such an old word.
I think of the physical pressing, or unjustly burdensome. Ironically the wiki definition still fits due it's variability.
Twitter doesn't allow much nuance with it's text-cap, hope the llm pics are acceptable.

[Layor_Trop @LayorTrop]

@MmmmOk30932281 @ruicharadrius I think it's mostly based on repeated violent crime, which can be the poorer or dumber but it's not them exclusively.
He liked El Salvador which I think wound up at around 1.5% of their population jailed, crime dropped 98%.
Here's also an example of the problem from Oakland Ca.

@ruicharadrius Here's another screenshot to help you out, since you're still going off about this.
People can use screenshots independant of their position in order to back up their position.

But you're educated right, so you already understand all this, right?

[Layor_Trop @LayorTrop]

@MmmmOk30932281 @ruicharadrius I was certainly on the poor side, I think that's why the pic mentions public but I just forgot to include it.
But even at a rich school, I assume most of the trouble came from the same couple dozen students?
oh wow, or is basically everyone a prick at the rich schools? lol

[Layor_Trop @LayorTrop]

@ruicharadrius You're a child, this isn't even worth it.

@NoContextBrits Scour medieval history for the best foods that were phased out due to reasons that are no longer applicable, and bring them back.

[Layor_Trop @LayorTrop]

@ruicharadrius You can't disprove my position when you don't even understand what my position is.

[Layor_Trop @LayorTrop]

@ruicharadrius You have to keep reading...

It's not just talking about the poor, we're talking about chronic offenders, career criminals. El Salvador locked up the criminals, and the normal people were free to live a safe life in their city.

[Layor_Trop @LayorTrop]

@ruicharadrius Let me guess, you know that they pay a lot more tax than the teachers?
Oh noo not carbon? the basis for all organic molecules? how ever will we survive having more carbon, it's not as if life literally requires it, right? Oh wait...
Paid any attention to El Salvador?

[Layor_Trop @LayorTrop]

@ruicharadrius Laws, social norms, and institutional frameworks are often defensive to mitigate the risks, costs, and disruptions caused by lower quintile.

Rich people don't burgle.

You went to school, right?
You saw who caused the problems for everyone?
It's not exactly difficult.
