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/

orthagonal to that,
is the blunt fact that universe will enforce the Great Filter,
and humankind could learn willingly which humankind won't .. or humankind can learn unwillingly quite-possibly through outright species-extinction, later this century.
This isn't a decision which will obey our ignoring: either neatly-all-of-us die, xor all-of-us die, this century.
Addiction ( to ignoring/denying, in this case, to ideologies in many cases, etc ) is real, and values its habit more than it values future-life.
How does one crack the ignoring of the US left, who insist that their future-election will save them, while ICE has now got a national crematoriums network for eradicating problem people, just as the previous reich did??
How does one crack addiction's ignoring/"knowing", anywhere??
Bitterness becomes .. natural.
Humankind won't know, and the needless waste-of-whole-planet will begin once the dictatorship-tippingpoint is crossed, by Trump, later in 2026, this year.

Try again but now making a genuine effort to not sound cryptic and obtuse.
Words spoken without the intention to be clearly understood by the majority listening are just empty sounds formed by warmed air escaping ones mouth.
