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/

Stop downvoting the actually unpopular opinions people
It's not enough to be unpopular. It also has to be rationalized. An explanation articulated.
Without that, it's just edgelord bullshit, and edgelord bullshit should always be downvoted.
I don't owe you an explanation, keep downvoting and calling everything you disagree with "edgelord bullshit".
I think that your message is pretty clear if they're not somebody trolling on the internet asking everybody to reason things out for them. It must be so withering for them to wander through life hearing things and not being able to reason any of it out. I agree with your unpopular but factual opinion, based on our voting and actions as a herd we likely do deserve another great depression whether we think it's good or bad. A reversion to the mean is not "edgelord bullshit", simply a basic understanding of fucking economics. It may be an unpopular opinion, but there are plenty of people who do have some knowledge and experience in the world who are equally concerned that we don't change our policies, because that would be the only thing that stops us from actually getting a reversion to the mean and a depression cycle
Why do we deserve another great depression?
Why do people slamming their head into a wall deserve a headache?
Why do people getting their head slammed into a wall deserve a headache?
Why indeed
That is the same question I asked 6 days ago. Explanation is still lacking.
Or reading comprehension, who knows, we'll never understand
