Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

People asking you for sources isn't what sealioning is; get a grip. You gave specific data points with no source, no timeframe (well okay, now you have a timeframe according to some random Redditor), and no methodology. That's not sealioning; that's asking after the fact for the basic common decency you owe readers when you post things like this but are plainly too embarrassed to admit you can't provide.
As for the CSIS source, what are you even talking about at this point? Even assuming it has the data shown in the graph (it doesn't), the chain for this evidence would be to prompt you for a Reddit comment which links to a Guardian article which links to some document which allegedly helps me find the CSIS article (it doesn't; it doesn't link to, let alone mention the CSIS article by name, a single time). Is this an actual joke? That you're being snarky with "the PDF you so happily disregarded" like that's a totally normal sequence for someone to follow?
You still haven't shown anyone the source for literally a single data point in the graph, so I not only think I'm being perfectly reasonable but that you're desecrating the corpse of the burden of proof.
