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/

You sure nailed unpopular, although I'm on the fence about of its unpopular or your set of rules and refusing to hear the argument about eating is what's unpopular.
Either way going to the grocery shop and buying meat is a purely psychopathic trait.
Knowing the animal has farmed for the soul purpose of being consumed, its entire life spent in a small enclosed area awaiting death.
The amount of disassociation that must go on for you to do this is insane.
And miss me with the sustainable farming and ethically farmed story. I'm not talking about that, just the torture and slaughter of millions of animals so you can have a burger from the shop.
I agree and don't eat meat, I just wanted to extra call out the creepiness of going out of ones way to personally end the life of something without bringing up the usual trash arguments about respecting something you killed by eating it. That didn't go well. Same dumb excuses as usual.
what are those "dumb arguments" and why do you disagree? you just push away everyone's arguments without giving any valid reason
I'm pushing away the arguments because they don't actually address my point. They're bad rhetoric. THEY are not giving valid reasons, it's the same stuff I've heard before and it's still bad rhetoric, that's why I'm pushing them away. Pick one and we can go through it if you want.
