It’s funny when .ml actually encounters real people who downvote their bullshit
Reported* suicide rate
“Well akshually they just hide it, the real suicide rate is way higher and they lie to look good. I know this because as a rando on the internet I have access to ultimate truth, and am not just reflexively defending my own learned biases in the face of contrary evidence.”
Unfalsifiable orthodoxy. If the numbers were switched, and the socialist countries had the higher suicide rates, none of these liberals would be talking about “lies, damned lies, and statistics.”
You’re not going to see a significant suicide rate, if the people who might kill themselves, are killed by something else first. Mostly looking at NK.
Or they just pretend that every Designated Bad Country is mad max. No matter what the actual data is, liberals will tell themselves a story about how it’s actually evidence of the opposite. Believe science, until the science says they’re wrong: then the science is lies because everybody knows Communism Bad. It’s an unshakeable religious belief in the inferiority of other countries and systems. Blue MAGA indeed.
in bad country, they won’t even let you kill yourself. Unlike freedom countries like Canada where doctors actively encourage it if you’re poor
You wrote this and later somebody said literally this completely unironically. And one other dude had even worse take.
they are eating from the trash can
Reported* suicide rate
i think its funny when libs just downvote facts they dont like.
There are two vote counters, one counts comrades, and one counts liberals
Yeah kinda silly, I mean the post title even is about “interesting data” - true or false, the data is interesting. What is the point of downvoting something literally just showing published data?! If you think the data is false/misleading/etc./etc./etc., that doesn’t take away from it being “interesting”, if anything it makes it more “interesting”, so how about stopping in and talking about it instead of just drive-by downvoting??
unpopular opinion: it should be a human right (once it’s determined you don’t have a mental illness severe enough to prevent you from seeing other obvious solutions to your suffering) and a society that keeps people alive by force is authoritarian in and of itself.
Is that percent of the population or per 1000?
This is how people generally lie with statistics
Do you think 21% of South Koreans are killing themselves every year? lmao
It’s per 100,000 which is somewhat standard for this kind of stat. South Korea’s is actually even higher right now at 28.3 for 2024.
Every 100 000.
This is formatted to imply percentage, but for that the decimal points on these should be moved three digits over.
That 16.6 is 0.0166%.
No matter where you put the decimal the difference between the 2 doesnt change. All the numbers are judged by the same metric. How you format them is irrelevant. If you make the 16.6 into 0.0166 then the 6.7 becomes 0.0067 and all youve managed to do is make the numbers harder to understand.

Well yeah.

As for China, their population is so large that almost any bad stat looks small. Zoom in on someplace like Hong Kong, and the stats go right back to concerning.
The genocide of korea was 75 years ago, now that korea has nukes the burgernazis aren’t mass murdering them anymore

Unless you have evidence that such a hypothetical is actually occurring, why float it?

That’s not how per capita rates work.
Hmm I wonder why Hong Kong specifically would have a concerning suicide rate
Perhaps higher, because Hong Kong was under British imperialist control until recently, and was capitalist until recently, like Taiwan and South Korea are.
The increase is recent, and still rising.
But if per capita stat is small isn’t it just a good thing in general? If you cut up the population groups into multiple population sized chunks with the compared countries, they each will still have a better number.
It’s like we normalized stats PER CAPITA so population number don’t really affect it!
That’s not really my point.
You can’t cancel out bad things with good things.
That China averages out to stats that look OK, doesn’t make the stuff happening in HK or Xinjiang go away.
If you cut up the population groups into multiple population sized chunks with the compared countries, they each will still have a better number.
Not necessarily. If you average everything, that hides any outliers.
The bigger the sample size for your stats, the less it tells you. You could have an entire country’s worth of people in China, living in conditions that lead to horrible stats, and have that essentially disappear in the stats of the whole country.
You should break stats down into smaller chunks. But not just arbitrarily. Do it by province, city, district. That’s how you find the problem areas. The bigger the area you measure, the less the stats tell you about the individual citizens.
That China averages out to stats that look OK, doesn’t make the stuff happening in HK or Xinjiang go away.
What’s happening in HK & Xinjiang?
The UK’s 99 year lease to subjugate the people of Hong Kong ended, a lease which had been forced upon Imperial China at gunpoint during the century of humiliation. Hong Kong reintegration after the lease expired was a foregone conclusion. The last minute, US-backed attempt at color revolution failed. It was the so-called “revolutionaries” who brought the brutality, by the way.
The US tried to foment division in China by funding and organizing Salafi terrorist into Xinjiang, and once its efforts failed, it made lemonade out of its lemon by concocting and promoting a genocide narrative.
The only countries pushing this narrative are the “always the same map” imperial core countries, which just so happen to be largely the same ones supporting Israel’s genocide.
Almost no predominantly-Muslim country buys the Uyghur genocide narrative, because they know it’s bullshit, because they talked to the Uyghurs themselves.
