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

If you can't celebrate the death of a monster responsible for literally millions of dead human beings, what can you celebrate? If you can't celebrate the deaths of rent-seeking purveyors of misery and exploitation, what can you celebrate?
Oh, I know! You can only celebrate entirely fictitious things like the birth of a "saviour", right?
Incredibly presumptuous of you :) I personally think we should celebrate the Feast of Sol Invictus - at least we’re celebrating a tangible thing that gives us life!
How about instead of wasting energy celebrating the death of an asshole, we spend it towards helping the people who got fucked over by those assholes? Kissinger did some pretty awful shit, but celebrating his death does just as much as mourning his death imo. Maybe we should try and advocate change for the people of Cambodia or something? That part I don’t know - what can we do to help those that were directly affected in a negative manner by these fuckin douchenozzle rich assholes in power?
Oh, I'm sorry! I had no idea it was impossible to both celebrate AND help people.
I stand corrected. Apparently human beings are incapable of doing multiple things.
We’re celebrating that the world is a boy brighter, for this.
Your high road horse shit is worth a piss in the wind.
Get off your high horse. Stop looking down on good people. Get mad at bad people.
