  • So what is the “right” way to use them?

    So long as they are helping the “downtrodden”* it’s ok to see the numbers differently?

    I have studied statistics. In my studies I learned that numbers do not lie, people lie. And, as was stated before, people can manipulate numbers to match their narrative.

    I’ve seen studies published as “fact” just because the author manipulated the numbers to match their findings.

    This is what we should base our outlook on?

    *in this instance, “downtrodden” refers to the person or group deemed savable by those who are looking to be a savior.






  • Most Americans on social media platforms are brushing off the actions of those currently in power because they have convinced themselves that it is somehow Trump that is making decisions for the country (and their entire personality is based on who they align with politically, so aligning themselves with a regime that supports and encouraged genocide completely shatters their reality, so they just ignore it).

    I am just calling out the hypocrisy that your chart is making obvious.
