Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Whatever helps you sleep at night, tankie
Interesting how "comrade" is a slur where you come from, but "tankie" isn't 🤔
I never claimed to be "holy" or better than anyone. In fact, I'm quite imperfect, even when I try my best, I still mess up sometimes.
That's why I rely on my community of comrades - like you - to call me out and help me identify my shortcomings and call me out when I'm using exclusionary language.
Genuinely, whatever your intentions were, I'm grateful for you calling me out and helping to push me left. "What force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one? But the union makes us strong!"
Why are you still masturbating here? This is some weird patting yourself on the back shit.
Your shortcomings isn't your language. It's your fucked up worldview and your garbage beliefs.
You're focusing on the wrong thing, it's the epitome of performative leftism to attempt to mask your rotten attraction for authoritarianism.
To piss you off, mostly.
The troll reveals itself to everyone.
Pretty rich to call me a troll, after, "comrade is a slur where I come from, tankie."
I'm just confused, since you called out my language for not being inclusive enough, surely you want me to admit to my wrongdoing on the matter. But somehow, owning up to my mistakes is, "patting myself on the back."
As Sarte said about the Nazis:
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
Since that's how you behave, I might as well play along, as long as it's amusing. But, speaking seriously, all your talking points are just bad faith far-right bullshit.
Not feeding trolls, didn't read.
Ok troll.
