Exactly what the Nazis who ran extermination camps claimed.
It's so blatant as if theyre using an instruction manual or something 🤔
I loathe and despise using percentages like this.
500% sounds super scary, but is meaningless without providing the baseline. If there was only one instance before and now there’s 5 it isn’t a significant increase but 500% sure sounds scary.
Worse still it's not even clear what is being discussed. It implied "violence" but that is a wide range from just pushing to serious shooting.
% can also be misleading when a scale is arbitrary. A temperature increase measured in Fahrenheit will be a rather different % when converted to Kelvin.
someone on bsky did the match and found out that 700% increase is still only like 70 incidents (i forget who it was that posted it)

Unjust, following orders
