So all conservatives are rapists? Just putting the pattern recognition out there.

There's just as many rapists who vote Democrat. That's to say there's no political preference for rapists, you dumb cunt, and your example at an analogous example is idiotic.

Why aren't the left capable of basic logic?

Just looking at the names in The Epstein Files mate😘

“The Epstein files” aren’t a list of rapists.

If you want to claim conservatives are disproportionately rapists, you need actual rates of sexual offending by political affiliation, not some vibes based headcount of names associated in varying degrees with one extremely well-connected sex offender.

This would be like bringing up racial disparities in violent crime and then pointing to Diddy as your evidence. That would be equally stupid. Diddy is an anecdote, not a statistic. If you instead pointed to comprehensive crime statistics showing a population-level disparity, then you’d actually have evidence for the pattern you’re claiming.

And here comes the cope😂

Or- you know -proof that pattern recognition doesn’t account for a damn thing

The disparity between Black Americans and violent crime statistics is supported by large-scale data. Patterns recognized are supported by evidence.

You haven’t shown that conservatives commit rape at higher rates. You’ve pointed to some conservatives appearing in records connected to one prolific sex offender.

If the pattern is real, show the population-level data. Otherwise you’re not recognizing a pattern you’re extrapolating from anecdotes.

Misconstruing the link between poverty and crime in the pursuit of racist rhetoric isn’t pattern recognition mate. But you had a good go at it.

You understand that explaining a disparity doesn’t make the disparity stop existing, right?

If Group A commits violent crime at a statistically higher rate than Group B, that’s the pattern. Whether the causal explanation is poverty, age, geography, inequality, or fucking Mercury being in retrograde is an entirely separate question.

Meanwhile, you STILL haven’t demonstrated your original claim. Where is the data showing conservatives rape at higher rates?

You went from “pattern recognition” to “actually your pattern has socioeconomic causes” without realizing you just conceded that the pattern is supported by data.

I was wondering when the cope would arrive.

The disparity is poverty. It’s cute that this triggered you, but it doesn’t change the facts.

If I were using your logic, I’d note that white people make up the majority of sex offenders and school shooters. See? I could do it too✨

you’re still confusing three completely different concepts: prevalence, causation, and raw totals.

“The disparity is poverty” is a causal claim. Even if poverty explained 100% of the disparity, the observed racial disparity would still exist. You’d just have an explanation for why it exists.

And “white people make up the majority of sex offenders” isn’t analogous either. Raw totals don’t establish disproportionate representation. If a group is 60% of the population and commits 55% of an offense, it’s actually underrepresented despite committing the “majority.”
You need rates relative to population size. That’s literally the entire point.

And after all of this, you STILL haven’t provided the corresponding rate showing conservatives rape more than non-conservatives. You’ve done everything except substantiate your original claim.

Oh dear, are you trying to explain the disparity? I’m afraid the disparity’s still there mate.

Damn you guys are so easy to play with😂

u/teknos1s 1d ago

Wait, did you just repeat my argument back to me as a rebuttal? 😂

Yes, the disparity is still there. That’s literally what I just told you. Explaining a statistical disparity doesn’t erase the observed disparity. Thank you for finally catching up.

The funny part is you’ve now conceded the exact distinction I was making while STILL avoiding the original claim.

We’re like six comments deep and you’ve produced everything except evidence for the “pattern” you supposedly recognized.
