Eh, statistics aren't a universal truth, but many "universal truths" can be justified with statistics. That's why it's scary to base an ideology on it. There's always levels of confidence and outliers are guaranteed.
Anyway, without going full autistic math autist, statistics is a useful tool that provides insight in the correct situations, utilised by the
correct people.
Correct people doesn't include journalist faggots who thinks some graphs makes their biased reporting "scientific", neither does it warrant sperges attempting to use numbers to justify their idiocy. Such misuse will backfire 100% of the time. We've seen countless butchering of stats since covid, by uneducated retards.
For instance, we have Dax here spouting rubbish. More harmful, right? Guns are harmful, 95% people who try to kill themselves won't do it again, and almost 100% who do so with a gun succeeds, taking away their second chance and breaking families. So ban them. I'm sure this won't fly with most, but it's consistent (while being retarded too because it outright dismisses the lives saved by a firearm). Another example, 50% mass shooters were raised by single parents and 95% had problems with their family, most aren't poor per se, making Dax's point even more retarded. A worldview based on statistics is retarded and likely never consistent, it's always going to be the "stats I like".
I'd love to see the stats he's talking about, maybe he can actually cite a study to back up his claims.

(No he won't). What's the worldview spawned from these numbers anyway, castrate all poor people? I'm sure neocons and neolibs are jizzing themselves already.
