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/

I think that you don't notice the insanity because you share the insanity. It is normal to you and therefore not insane.
I think that concentration is inherently deranging but, again, normal in our society. Common and therefore invisible. (I am aware of its effects because it is something I study, unlike you and most others. Think of it as a kind of germ theory and I'm Pasteur)
I think that I am treated! this way because my opinion is offensive to these people. And that offense is a barrier to any further thought.
But I hope that, for some, a little offense isn't such a barrier.
Nobody is taking you seriously enough to get offended.
You insulted me 3 times in your previous reply and once more just now. Most of the other replies have included an insult as well.
When you insult you do so because you are offended. This much is obvious.
So who are you fooling here?
If people are insulting you its because you're just being pretty obnoxious and childish. It's easy to get annoyed by someone who is convinced that they are right and everybody else is wrong, especially when they are so obviously wrong.
I mean, I assume you're a troll? I don't get offended by trolls. But I engaged with you here on the off chance that you're not, hoping that you might see some reason. But instead you've just doubled down on your own crazy ideas. Like, best of luck to you (if you are indeed genuine), you seem relatively harmless. Try and broaden your horizons, it'll do you good.
Right back at you.
