The rampant crime is largely made up.
- oefrha 8mo agoWho’s making up the homicide and other violent crime statistics and for what purpose?
- ses1984 8mo agoHow do the stats look compared to 5, 10, 20, 40 years ago?
- ori_b 8mo agoWhich statistics are you looking at? Crime has been dropping since the 90s, with the exception of short term regressions. https://jasher.substack.com/p/crime-is-likely-down-an-enormous https://jasher.substack.com/p/crime-is-likely-down-an-enormo...
- oefrha 8mo agoYou do realize these are still crap compared to other countries right?
- SV_BubbleTime 8mo agoSmall rich counties with vast majority homogeneous populations?
- ori_b 8mo agoAgreed, the world overall is pretty safe these days.
- oefrha 8mo agoIf you’re being sarcastic, well, congratulate yourself for being better than shitholes I guess. If you’re not, yes it is, unfortunately same can’t be said about the U.S., where my not very large social circle have experienced robbery at gun point at a gas station, street mugging, home break-in with everything stolen, smashed car window, all within the past decade. I was more fortunate but still got my bike stolen.
- Brian_K_White 8mo agoWhat statistics? These? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States#/media/File:Trend_of_Violent_Crime_from_1985_to_2022_(United_States).png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States#/me... https://ncvs.bjs.ojp.gov/year-to-year-comparison/crimeType https://ncvs.bjs.ojp.gov/year-to-year-comparison/crimeType
- jb1991 8mo agoYou should look at a comparison of American violent crime to other major western nations.
- Brian_K_White 8mo agoI think I would say the same, that you should actually look at that.
- jb1991 8mo agoFor example, Wikipedia has a page of studies and conclusions about violent crime rates in countries around the world, and the United States isn’t looking so good on that list, which compiles many studies and statistics. It’s far behind both Canada and Europe on violent crime.
- ericmay 8mo agoWhat are you basing this claim on?
- derbOac 8mo agohttps://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2024-06-12/crime-trend-data-competes-with-perception-problem https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2024-06-1... https://www.themarshallproject.org/2025/11/19/gallup-crime-perceptions-political-polarization https://www.themarshallproject.org/2025/11/19/gallup-crime-p... There's always the question of where exactly you're referring to and what kind of crime you're referring to. But I assumed that's what the parent post was referring to.
- danesparza 8mo agoReally? Rampant white collar crime is made up?
- jb1991 8mo agoCompared to other major western countries, the US has a serious problem with violent crime in particular.
- WarmWash 8mo agoIf you remove like 250sq mi of land from that stat you can cut the violent crime stat by 90%. There are some neighborhoods with more murders in a month than some whole states see in a couple years.
- SV_BubbleTime 8mo agoNot popular. We know exactly where the majority of crime is in the US, you are correct, down to the neighborhood. Now… let’s say you were to call the national guard in to safeguard those areas, how do you think that would go over by those cities governors and reaction media? I guess the answer depends on the year.
- throwworhtthrow 8mo agoTim Walz and Jacob Frey are both on record saying they'd love to have federal help with reducing violent crime. That is not Donald Trump's / Stephen Miller's objective in Minnesota, nor is it the outcome.
- hypeatei 8mo agoThis comment really confirms the "everyone is twelve years old now" theory. "If there's crime, let's send in the army!" Of course you'd suggest that, you're twelve.
- SV_BubbleTime 8mo agoI don’t remember suggesting that. But, go on with your strawman, you are doing great.
