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.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I like the comic about Lex Luthor. If I was a regular human in the DC universe I would side with Luthor. Superman is an all powerful alien who has showed up to earth and is meddling and telling humans what they are allowed to do and not do. If Lex Luthor is powerful enough to conquer earth, Superman has no right to stop him. If Superman had landed in ancient times, would he have stopped Alexander? Would he have stopped Caesar from crossing the Rubicon? What right does Superman have to stop the mightiest human from ruling over humans?
Anyways, after that comic I started to see Superman and the Justice League the way Vaught is in the boys, just a corporation of gods, and us little people just have to accept them and their constant destructive feuds, and hope they don't squish us.
I wouldn't. Luthor isn't someone to follow just because he shares your genes. He's a narcissistic asshole who should have taken a bullet to the brain like Elon Musk should have years ago. For very much the same reason (though at least unlike Elon, because this is fiction and billionaires can be this, he is competent).
