As Curtis Yarvin noted in his Open Letter, "according to official statistics, between 1900 and 1992 the crime rate in Great Britain, indictable offenses per capita known to the police, increased by a factor of 46. That’s not 46%. Oh, no. That’s 4600%.” Britain was nominally wealthier in 1992 than 1900, but the pillars of civilization had crumbled. The once-ruling aristocracy had been buried under taxes, justice hamstrung by equity, the false god of equality put before all...and so an obvious marker of civilization, the crime rate, showed civilizational collapse in Albion. Then all the Pakistanis showed up and things got even worse The crime rate is a marker of how firmly civilization is being defended, not something that is related to poverty
