If nothing else, I’m finding discussions like these helpful in curating my Lemmy experience. If someone is spreading misinformation, ignoring evidence to the contrary, and refuses to provide an argument as to why they feel the way to do, even if it’s only a rationalization, then it’s clear they’re not (yet) capable of debate with critical thought and without emotions and social conditioning blinding them. I’ve never been one to block people but Lemmy is infested with groupthink in a way I’d never thought possible, it’s beyond reddit.
Also any snark is highly frowned upon, unless it’s in favor of the groupthink, so that’s my own fault.
Yeah, this place can be kind of particular. I tend to stay quiet on shit I don’t align with 100%. This is just something that’s well studied with good data. If people refuse to accept reality we can’t really fix shit.
Crime victimization survey is, and can be used in conjunction with crime justice system statistics.
Thanks for being reasonably-minded.
