          Not to argue against the data, but rather its disingenuous presentation: “democracy” is fundamentally interpreted differently by respondents in those regions, which the graph obscures.

          Used as such, it’s propaganda. The truth (data with context) is much more interesting.

          So no argument, except for “your argument does not count because I say so”. Ok. .ml style.

            Im waiting for an argument against my data

            Did you want to talk about rape statistics instead? You’re free to make your own thread. Your argument doesn’t count because it’s not an argument, it’s a tangentially related statement at best.

              OK, just in case you don’t understand their argument I’m just going to state it plainly.

              They’re saying that because of different social factors in extremely conservative countries women do not feel comfortable reporting rapes because of societal backlash. They are comparing this situation to your self-reported data on the perceptions of democracy in different countries.

              Basically, they’re implying you can’t trust the data you showed because there’s outside factors affecting the truthfulness of the self-reported perceptions.
