YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO PROPAGANDA
Okay the thing is, the original statement made in the post is not about a subset. It just says that 20% of people are responsible for 80% of the crime. You talk about something else.
I find the in the image postet statement difficult cause when such a statement like in the post is stated, the implied followup question is, who are those 20%? And then everyone is again talking how poor people and immigrants “are just like that” instead of talking about structural change. Its a context less statement inviting to filling the gaps in discourse with your own prejudice, allowing manipulative individuals to steer your mind.
no, i am explaining what the phrase really means and you are decided to only accept explanation that allows you to get mad.
and understanding the true meaning of the phrase is good antidote for that 🤷♂️ manipulative individuals will always try to manipulate someone, but something isn’t propaganda just because someone doesn’t understand it.
“no, i am explaining what the phrase really means and you are decided to only accept explanation that allows you to get mad.”
I guess confused is the better term, not mad. To me your quoted article has nothing to do with the statement since they talk about different groups. But I guess it does not matter. I wish you a lovely day with whatever you do :)
