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/

In another post here, you literally said:
A user responded saying this:
To that, you replied like you mostly do:
Every time someone says something more logical, convincing, and fair, you attack them with that. You act like a victim and say they just made up a caricature of yourself and whatnot. You share so many patterns of speech and behavior with types of people that suck, like MAGA. Reactionary, too emotional, too irrational.
You are petty. That's all there is to it. You are also morally inferior and abhorrent for supporting AI judging the state of the world. No matter what you reply with or say about it, it is indefensible. You are causing the deaths of so many artists who are committing suicide or giving up to a conformist boring mediocre life working for the Jeffrey Epstein Class because they cannot compete with a computer and a market filled with uneducated morons that prefer their plastic slop over organic real art. I already know your response to that is "that ain't my fault. I am just a customer, consuming what I like, having fun! The customer is always right" but no, it goes beyond that. You genuinely have blood in your hands and it is so easy to convince people of that now.
Just as the Jeffrey Class intended: replace the poor with robots. You are helping them cull creative talent, because they hate artists, they hate how influential they are. They know AI will always follow a set of rules they themselves wrote, so. You are helping them, because you probably want them to continue abusing children, or what? Why do you support AI this much?
Did you even read the comment you’re using as an example? It’s pure smug sarcastic ridicule with no substance whatsoever. They started with bad faith strawmanning and personal insults since the very beginning. When called out on it they just doubled down. I’ve engaged everyone in good faith in that thread who did so towards me. Everyone else I’m calling out for indecency and this is one of those people.
No, he did not insult you. He literally said this:
He is proving why your entire pro-AI mindset is problematic as hell. With sarcasm? Sure. You're a troll and a child after all, your entire profile is all about provoking people. You don't value art, therefor, you don't value Humanity. You are no different from a Jeffrey Epstein Class supporter. You are causing so much damage to people.
what good comes out of the time you spend to write all these insults?
Catharsis.
Nothing feels better than insulting evil. Supporting AI over people, valuing money over people, showing loyalty to a country more than Humanity, all that is evil. It's getting so many innocent people killed, innocent people you never hear anything about, because they are poor. They just become a number you never pay attention to.
The suicide rate of the United States is currently 15.6. About 15 people commit suicide per every 100,000 people in the USA. All because they have to constantly witness injustice, racism, discrimination, xenophobia, greed, and assholes who want to replace them, their work and their art, the only purposes in life they have, their only way of expressing themselves, with AI and robots.
That was in 2021. It's probably much higher now, with Trump leaving so many people in poverty. Scamming them with crypto, the Epstein files, people like OP who doesn't mind replacing human artists with AI... All that easily depressed so many people to the point of suicide. It's just very easy for the government and media to cover all that up. They just don't talk about it, that's it.
The fact that you are not angry enough yet, not insulting the people building that environment that is causing so many suicides, is pretty gross. I don't ever want to be like that. That's what my family became, and they are insufferable and evil. They don't care about poor people dying, being paid the minimum wage, ending in crime, losing their children, even supporting Trump (and we are Mexicans living in Mexico) because he promised them money with crypto. Fuck that.
What good comes out of the time you tolerate or ignore all that evil? It keeps growing, unchecked.
instead of alchemizing insults i work to bring that attention. you can be aware and care without yelling to the choir and scaring the curious away
I am not here for the curious or silent readers. I have already been shown that no matter what I say or do, over 30,000+ Mexicans, my people, will keep dying every year thanks to the USA arming the Mexican Cartels with guns. The number keeps increasing as well, since 2012. Let alone the number of Arabs and Muslims, also my people, my grandpa escaped Lebanon 100 years ago because of Israel and the USA attacking it.
To try and censor people's insults is evil. I have spoken to people from the Middle East whose parents and loved ones were killed with American bombs and bullets. Talked to Mexicans who suffer the worst consequences of the Cartels. They all insult the USA so heavily, I'd come across as a Disney character to you if you heard them. But of course, you want to silence them, right? You don't want people to see the anger they create? You want to protect the evil people who, with their taxes and votes, got those people killed, by not letting them see bad words and insults aimed to them? Why?
Same with someone who supports AI. I keep reading the headlines of how suicides are increasing, many artists and workers who can't find the joy they deserve anymore because AI replaced them, without creating more jobs.
And even then, my insults to OP were not even that bad. They were tame, for the type of person they really are.
what do you think my argument is? for one thing, people shouting insults at someone else just to feel better is very scary to anyone considering joining the cause. the voice of what you wish to inspire dies within these artificial walls you make.
Surely you, in the much more fortunate position you have now, can afford to redirect that anger into tangible effects you can actually effect with your fortune, and save that energy for somewhere not actively hurtful—compared to those abject.
