Because your statement reads as “people dying isn’t good but this affects fuck all people”
That's what my comment was. I was just confused about why some other guy who just dropped the facts and data was being downvoted.
Because his contexless stats is just 13/50 for indigenous Australians. I know it's popular with American conservatives to say that black people deserve it, but we can do better.
Well it’s a discussion in bad taste. I don’t really know how to explain more because this should be obvious already why people wouldn’t like seeing it.
I can present a report on an extremely low LTIFR right after a workplace fatality and watch as I never get to present data in that room again.
Turning around and saying “but it’s factual!” isn’t going to get a “you’re right. Good job mate”
Lemmy is super left wing progressive, nothing to do with bad taste, this is the current top comment:
Where have I seen this before? https://youtu.be/0lcYP_zOOXg?t=134 😁
So an article about something is fine. But some hard data related to the article that proves the articles core tenant is false is "in bad taste". Is this cos u don't like the the reality of the facts and prefer the false reality? U would rather push a false narrative because it aligns with your belies? Misinformation is OK when I agree with it?
