Being that I'm a libertarian -- an anarcho-capitalist -- it might be a bit odd that I cite data from government agencies.
Why do I trust them?
Well, I don't trust them.
All of my opponents are pro-government people; so, I'm using their sources against them.
The FBI just had an "oops" moment in which they quietly reported that they missed 7,000 rapes in 2022. Maybe that was on honest mistake. Maybe they were trying to keep the Democrats in office. I don't know. I don't trust these fucking people. I just know that a lot of you trust these fucking people.
I know that, if I cite John Lott regarding defensive use of firearms statistics, you're gonna scoff at the source. The CDC produced the same numbers as Lott. You pro-government people have to listen to the CDC.
I mean, holy hell, I'm an asperger case, and I have the social awareness to understand this.
