> Nah, there's no increase in disorder, crime in most developed countries is trending down,

I don't know in which world you're living so here are officials, likely downplayed, numbers for the EU, from an official EU website to get you back to earth:

"In 2023, sexual violence offences, including rape, continued to rise in the EU."

https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...

Rape numbers are through the roof in France (nearly 40 000 a year now): they went x6 in 20 years.

"The number of violent crimes in Germany increased in 2024 with a sharp increase in rapes and sexual assaults.":

Thefts and violent thefts are on the rise all across the EU. When I was young I didn't hear about being stabbed to death so that their Rolex could be stolen.

In the city were I grew up in now people firing full-auto AK-47 is a weekly occurrence.

Someone who walks into a major EU city and tells me its safer than it was 20 years is very blind.

Meanwhile the risk of my daughter getting raped is very real. And the fault is as much on the rapists as on the ones who try to refute irrefutable numbers.
