    a reduction in crime rates doesn’t mean it’s safer. it just means that crimes are happening with impunity.

      That kind of criminal impunity is reserved for the rich and powerful. While the crimes of the rich greatly affect society, by raw numbers, they don’t affect crime rates much. The rich may dominate theft statistics in terms of total dollars stolen, in terms of number of individual thieves, the rich are a rounding error.

        please elaborate on how continuing to do the same thing that got us here is accomplishing anything.

        edit: I guess you’re in full support of the pedophiles running an entire country.

        because nothing is recorded properly.

        one of my friends died in 2021 from a car accident. cause of death? covid.

        2023 a woman was shot near my home. I have the video footage of the man responsible. Sent to the police even. He was a member of the neighborhood. he was never arrested. never charged. he moved away in 2025. he shot her only because she wouldn’t let him rape her. officially documented only as a shooting.

        thousands of crimes being committed in the financial sector, never documented, never investigated.

        hundreds of politicians raping children, still allowed to rule over the people. rarely documented, never investigated.

        list goes on and on. we are no safer today than we were 70 years ago. only difference is 70 years ago there was a lack of processing evidence and today there’s a lack of “incriminating” evidence.
