gollark: Oh, I'm randomly nitpicking.
gollark: It's 70%, and that assumes that the chance of each protest in a location being violent is independent, which is not true.
gollark: I have no idea about *that*, but it's not valid to say "12 protests in your area → guaranteed (i.e. 100% or nearly) chance of one or more being violent".

gollark: Although, I'm not sure how a "no capital system" is meant to work, given that you need capital to produce basically anything.
