    I'm sure the poster pulled these numbers out of their ass. I wonder what the real numbers would be.

    It's guaranteed that replacing MAGA people with the same kind of immigrants we have today would reduce crime, but how much?

    Yeah, that's my reaction too. I'm guessing over 50% is likely true. The immigrants that make it here in the vast majority of cases is literally because they were hard workers and they came to work. Vs these violent racist shitbags who support trump.

    agreed, honestly what I would really like someone to do if they are able, get a large enough sample size of ice enforcers names and run background checks. So we can demonstrate side by side the percentage of people with histories of violent offences and property crimes, next to the low percentage of illegal immigrants going out. On a practical level it's obvious how it will pan out, but posting things with "trust me bro".

    It takes no time to make up some bullshit numbers. If every time you come across some obviously bullshit numbers, you have to do all of the research that the bullshitter didn't do, you wouldn't have any time for anything else, and it wouldn't do any good, anyways. You're proposing a completely dominated and losing strategy.

    My thoughts exactly. Political affiliation is not a statistical crime category collected by law enforcement, so I'd like to see the source behind these numbers as well.

    Political affiliation may not be a statistical category collected by law enforcement (though I do question the veracity of that statement, but I don't have the means or the time to dig into it), but we absolutely do have enough info on things like the political leanings of offenders and other similar data points to make confident claims about such data when talking about specific types of crime.

    Not saying that I don't absolutely want to see a source behind the claim as well, though. I don't take any of these kinds of claims without some kind of data backing it up. Just that I do know that we can make some confident claims on the political leanings of those guilty of things like mass shootings, as mere seconds before Charlie Kirk was shot he was in the middle of arguing with a woman who was citing statistics on the number of people shot by trans people over the past decade in mass shootings compared to the number of people shot by conservative white men in mass shootings over the past decade (something like 5 to 437 if I remember correctly).

    By looking at voter registration and data broker information you can connect that information, sure. On an individual basis it's easy. But it's a different matter to collect that data on all convicted criminals in the country within a given time period. The larger the time period the harder that gets, especially considering that people with older offenses and no recurring offense can petition the court to have their records sealed, making an accurate count harder.

    And, speaking as someone who's been on the wrong side of law enforcement a few times in my youth, political affiliation or leanings would not be part of the record unless it was relevant (e.g. politically motivated crime). At least, if it wasn't part of my arrest or court records, then it can't be true in all localities.

    Is making an assumption that since most white males in that age range are maga and most white males have a higher rate of violent crime than the general population, those who are violent criminals are more lllelt to be maga. That is correlation and it is used all over in statistics.

    No, they are. It's involves overlaying a few different data sets but most violent crime is committed by white men under 50.

    Immigrants of any flavor have lower crime rates than natural born citizens. If you feel this is wrong, that's yoir xenophobia and racism.

    Actually upon further parsing, the statement cannot be true as it a end result reduction.

    So while removing them also removes their ability to be victims which does help quite a bit, to get to 80% white men alone would need to commit 90% of violent crimes. Its easier to hit 70%, since only about 60% would need to be from white men but then we still need to account for maga's percentage. The raw numbers including white men of any political affiliation max out at around 60%

    And statistics makes this all really hard just to describing, showing the math around it is a mess.

    The statement can be made true by more carefully wording it. For example if it was demostic terrorism instead of violent crime. Which I'm going to pretend is where my confusion comes from because I've done the numbers on that one before and I recall it being around that range. I think there is something on ourworldindata for that one.

    The part about children is impossible because a lot of women commit crimes against their own children.

    Obviously not, even setting aside the claim that immigration would reduce violence against women, which is definitely not the case depending on which ethnoreligious group we're talking about.

    This is what separates the magas from everyone else.

    They see a chart like this (unverified claims that confirm their prejudices), it's fact because it's on the internet.

    We see a chart like this and we are instantly skeptical. Even though we know it's hyperbole, we at least know what hyperbole is, and many of us even know how to say it out loud.

    Physical and sexual violence are VASTLY more prevelant from men than from women. And the sort of people who support hateful ideologies like MAGA are by and large, awful people. So while MAGAets might be awful people on average, they're not committing near as much violence.

    Well, reported anyway, domestic violence from women is still a joke to most people and sometimes even celebrated, people loved Cardi B drugging and robbing men, men who try to report rape are laughed at and called gay for not enjoying it, if you can even report them because in many states (like my state) rape requires penetration so the worst a woman can be charged with legally speaking is "sexual assault."

    It's still probably more men than women, but it's not as little of a problem from women as our numbers and common perception would have you believe, it's just that nobody gives a fuck when the attacker is a girl/woman and the victim is male. I wouldn't know, it's not like I've been raped twice by two different women or anything (because in my state, legally speaking, it was "only" sexual assault. Don't worry though, those women will never be charged with that either, they're free to continue sexually assaulting).

    That's horrifying, I'm so sorry that you've lived through that. I said lower on purpose, I CERTAINLY didn't mean zero - because I absolutely know it happens still.

    I felt like the world was getting less toxic and this vile but common social reaction was improving. Like, the 80s or 90s vs the late 2010s felt like society had made massive improvement here. But everything's more fucked right now and people are more unabashedly shitty than ever in our lifetimes, I'm sure we're worse off today and will be for a while now.

    Fascist women aren't committing the same level of domestic violence as the men, which is directly relevant to the specific claim the post made. I'm not making a moral judgement or statement, just directly addressing the post while you're having some other off topic argument with yourself I guess.

    Ecofascism is not cool! Humans are part of the environment. Indigenous people all over the world live in symbiosis with the environment. The problem isn't humans, it's capitalism driving the ever increasing exploitation of nature so the line can always go up. "Kill all humans" and "humans are a disease" and other such phrases are ecofascism, and completely missing the point.

    And I guess that the meme is also assuming the local gangs like Crips, Bloods, Piru, GDs and BDs, O Block, FYB, etc are all Trump supporters, which, I mean, wanna bet? I've got $10 right now that says they aren't. Shouldn't even be too hard to find out just make VladTV ask them.

    They're not saying immigrants never commit crimes, but that they commit them at much lower rates than us born citizens.

    If you're trying to reduce crime, the effective thing to do is target where it actually is rather than scrounging for crumbs where you would like it to be.

    A woman on Instagram made an excellent point. In the past few years in UK and Ireland, anti-immigration protests happened whenever children and women are attacked by immigrants. However, how come these same protesters don't come out for female victims of domestic abuse or sexually assaulted? Oh yeah I know, because for them, they treat someone who looks different as being worse and held to different standards. It signals "only we can treat our women bad! Fuck off they're ours, foreigners! Moreover, xenophobia is also a projection to bigots' own insecurities. They look for someone deemed weaker to lash out to because they could not be anymore angrier and hateful to themselves. It is our lizard brain putting us on our leash and being enslaved to emotions.

    Also some of these "protectors of women and girls" have convictions for domestic abuse. They were silent when a white mp was charged with sexual assault. They were silent when a white dj was charged with sexual assault. It's nothing more than thinly veiled racism. We all know it. If reform Ltd do win the next election, the mask will be off.
