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/

With Wayne money, city beaurocracy, and Dent's law skills, he's untouchable. Murder was the only remaining option for justice.
Murder is still murder, you're just justifying it for your own feelings.
'You're only allowed to fight oppression through electoralism, the Warsaw ghetto uprising was morally wrong! John Brown was evil for his actions! How dare you, Sir!"
that’s not such a popular take any more. luigi shows that murder is not the worst, it just depends on who and why
Almost no one says murder is the worst crime. (There's a reason murderers aren't as scared of their fellow prisoners as child molesters.) The person above is saying murder is still murder, regardless of justification, which is true. However, many, if not most, people will say there are circumstances which justify murder. Not to make it not murder, just make it ethically acceptable.
murder is murder, the implication of the post was that there was no justifying it. but that is not the popular opinion.
It is right and just to destroy men who have sold their souls to evil.
