unpopular opinion thread

i dont know jack soykaf abt the world. im a neet. but here we go... - blackface/racist slurs/identifying as a diff race is not racist - women are happiest when theyre submissive to men - anger is ultimately a performance - if you hold animosity toward a type of person, you have underlying sexual or guilty feelings about them or related to yourself - sociopathy indicates success on a material, sexual, and evolutionary level. it is pathologized bc it serves sociopaths that have monies (jews) - there are multiple dimensions of reality and can be manipulated(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST, Unpopular opinion, These type of threads are terrible threads that violate Rule 4, You should always elaborate on your opinions rather than just spilling the soykaf. Because people just post soykaf opinions without any elaboration, discussion or justification for their opinions or beliefs unpopular or otherwise. Also the virtue signalling is like DAE threads )

>I know nothing, anyway here are the things I believe with no evidence.

>>52233 >blackface/racist slurs not racist I guess I can see why in some situations sure, but mostly it's usually used in a derogatory way. >women are happiest when submissive generalization, there are always outliers, and nowadays with the media's agenda, they are becoming less likely to want to be submissive >anger is a performance not sure what you mean, but ok >sociopathy indicates success lol no. usually if you're sociopathic, you're not treated well and can't function in a society, therefore you can't have success in that society. How is sociopathy pathologized? normal people have instinctually not liked sociopaths. >there are multiple dimensions of reality sure, I agree >can be manipulated im pretty sure we can't Here's one of my unpopular opinions. If you know your child will get Down syndrome before they're born, you should use DNA editing technologies (CRISPR) to change that. Remove Down syndrome, dwarfism, and other genetic defects

>>52233 IPA's and really bitter hoppy beers taste super good.

>>52237 theyre opinions lol >>52238 >usually if you're sociopathic, you're not treated well and can't function in a society, therefore you can't have success in that society. sociopaths reach the corporate ladder and beyond. they have the capacity for "success" because they lack moral compass. >nowadays with the media's agenda, they are becoming less likely to want to be submissive yes but theyre not happy lol

my unpopular opinion is that not everybody is entitled to an opinion

>>52252 fuarrrk ya dude ;) ur doin really nicely responding to me

brussels sprouts aren't that bad actually.

My opinion is this opinion is popular.

>>52256 I thought it was widely agreed-upon that they're only a reflection of the cook's skill or lack thereof.

>>52233 I disagree with liberalism on almost everything. Pretty much the entire western hemisphere is anywhere from minimally liberal to extremely liberal, so that makes me pretty much unpopular.

This is a new low for neo-lainchan

>>52264 As i see it west is not liberal. Western people are largely like chicken in industrial hen pens advertising for their own cage. High taxes are good ignore others get better gov service at lower taxes. Free speech? Corps can do what they want ignore the gov legislation telling them to ban speech. Oi mate you got a license for that? Like that elephant bound to a wood pole. Maybe they think they are liberal cause they can still shuffle a bit their feet but they have no idea what freedom is.

>>52266 You mean Reddit. Lainchan is walking the path of the 4keks and 8chonks. Really sad, considering the fact that some people here are really schway, and most have nowhere else to go. >>52233 Cool opinions bro, but could you take those to plebbit? I'm sure there's some subplebbit for that.

>>52233 i cant even say anything about these opinions because this is an unpopular opinion thread. well played lain

I feel dirty and used just taking the bait. But as a (Eastern European immigrant) One-or-two-steps-above-homelessness-white trash kid that has gravitated towards a soykaf ton of ""black culture"" simply due to the fact I've been growing up in the same fuarrrked up social dynamics makes me feel a lot more at home among "Niggas". It's so weird and I'm kinda bummed out that I can't socially acceptably use the word from the point of empathy and mutual struggle because of some high-level mental aikido SJW bullshit.

>>52233 They c|amp, vaccinate, and circumcise.

>>52274 >imagine consuming so much output from establishment approved propaganda mills that you literally can't stand being near someone with unapproved opinions This is why we can't have intelligent conversations.

Here's a bunch of stuff that will make plebs say I'm edgy. >advancing civilization is not a valid goal since it tends to focus on tools and abstractions instead of actual humans, so why the fuarrrk >anything that "just makes life easier bro lol" will only make you stupider and lazier >if any real mortal pandemic actually happens, it would be a total disaster and society would collapse truly >a vile mass destructive WW3 would be better to humanity in a long term than what's happening right now >the only thing that should matter to any ruling institution ever is general quality of life >imageboards are the last hope for the internet subculture to survive, if it's censored, a lot of people will commit suicide >norm1es are the reason things are so bad because they were seduced into selling their souls to Satan through colorful bullshit and consumerism >we're all under the risk of selling our souls without even knowing it and Jesus lets this happen because he kinda like to troll us by testing if we can endure the temptation of being total retards >the only authentic form of society is perpetual tribal wars, which would be better than now because humans can't flourish when too far away from it's instinctual (and violent) essence >some terrible occult soykaf happened in 2012 and that's why humanity is now fuarrrked and the dream of an acceptable society has become impossible >worldly things can only be perceived as good if you are retarded or so godly wise that you summon little birds just by thinking positive >past lives exist and we won't remember it because society steals our time, and that's the idea actually >things will only minimally prosper from now on if it is a good business for the big players and that's why artistic effort is dead Shit tier unpopular opinions. >a lot of the gayness we see is nothing but men creating justifications for not being masculine, rough, proud, responsible and virtuous, which is difficult and demanding, so they pretend to be gay wimps in order to escape from nature's command because that's now ok with society >liking to be fuarrrked in the ass is not homosexual, wanting to get married with a man and french kiss him is homosexual >there is no gender, there is only biological sex and preferences, which is ok, so forget I said homosexual or whatever >sex is very good but it is not essential, engaging in sex and romance too much gets you indiligent >women are very lame and non objective in general, and the very existence this soykafshow is partly their fault by engaging in societal roles that are not made for them (except if they're exceptional and overwhelmingly good at something non-feminine), the rest of the fault is on the greedy enablers >women who acts in an objective way heavily relies on a social mask, which is ok, but soon the facade comes down and she is tested, we can behold a vicious and very nervous irrational bitch

>>52306 >if any real mortal pandemic actually happens, it would be a total disaster and society would collapse truly I think the opposite actually. In a real pandemic we wouldn't have the government-media-pharma complex actively working against the people just to further their own interests. Or maybe there would be a revolution. If covid had a 10% causality rate or something then Fauci, Trump, Biden etc would all have been strapped to electric chains by now. >masks are bullshit >masks are essential >wear 2 masks >masks are bullshit >vaccine makes you immune and stops you spreading >vaccines makes you immune >vaccines don't make you immune or stop you spread but you need 1 anyway >actually its 2 >actually theres a booster now >actually there's a 4th booster now ... yeah no, face the wall motherfucker.

>>52309 We would have (((them))) working against us because that's just what they do, and their play varies from one context to another. Also that last scene is not something we would see, people already had no balls before covid. I just think a lot of people would die for real and they wouldn't have this fuarrrking joke of a vaccine to calm people up from a mass hysteria they created. Because it would be an actual disease and this current "scientific class" is another bad joke.

>>52274 Someone should write some code that scans for frequent posters of 4 to 8 chins and auto bans all matches from Lainchan. Reddit would have to be more specific to certain subreddit boards. Would preserve Lainchan from the downward spiral to it's death it's heading for

>>52259 Nuh uh!! MY opinion is popular, not yours!

Watching Americans is like visiting a zoo.

>>52274 reddit censors 4chan is demented lainchain is super in-group for literally no reason misc imageboards are just inactive wat do

♫most people are not okay but they're taking their siestas in the sun got some ideas on the way it should be but mostly they just carry it on♫

>>52311 >Also that last scene is not something we would see, people already had no balls before covid. At the moment everyone is paralyzed by fear because of the constant fear porn in mainstream media but basically everyone is safe and you don't need to do anything just trust the "experts". But if everyone knew like 20 people who died from covid instead of 0 then maybe that fear would turn to anger and people would be angry about being lied to and actually do something. Maybe. >>52314 Or you can just grow the fuarrrk up and accept that not everyone believes what you believe and that's ok.

Suicide is okay and should be tolerated and respected by society.

>>52321 Its the reverse. Kids are more open than adults. npc's are raised into the npc mindset.

>>52332 Destroying something of value is evil, killing yourself is literally immoral. Not to mention that suicide is usually an expression of mental illness, and not a deliberate "choice". I'm actually not sure which of our opinions is more unpopular.

>>52321 >if everyone knew like 20 people who died from covid instead of 0 then maybe that fear would turn to anger and people would be angry about being lied to and actually do something Maybe true in some countries.

>>52332 i agree. i should be able to have the freedom to die by my own hand. anything less is denying me bodily autonomy imho.

>>52306 >>some terrible occult soykaf happened in 2012 Can you give sources on that one? Women are (or can be) great at psychological counseling, some artisan crafts (look at all the ladies making youtube tutorials about crochet and stuff) and other specific things like that. Which is an unpopular opinion among feminists and antifeminists.

>>52306 I cant really think of anything particular of the top of my head, but this stuff is pretty much what i would say. Also occult soykaf happens all the time, time is not linear so soykaf happens beyond dates and crap like that. >>52316 The rest of the world isnt much better, sure it looks not so crazy at first, but once you scratch the surface and really think about how things are in this world you will realize its all a dumpsterfire in a madhouse, murica is just the icing on top.

- God of the old testament is actually Satan - God was the good guy who gave us free will (serpent on the tree of knowledge of good and evil) - Satan (Demiurge) was casted out of heaven and he rebeled by creating this universe with us inside it - We are Gods creations in Satans world - Satan punishes all of existence with suffering that is existence because we are Gods creation - If we follow Gods word and are moral people then we are punished more by Satan - We exist to transcend our issues and resolve our tasks in this world in most moral way possible - Love is real reason of any existence, not fear or punishment - People had much older and more technologically advanced civilization as shown by the Spinx near the great pyramid of Giza (which is much older than the pyramids) God loves you all, don't forget that.

>>52332 God loves you and he wants you to transcend your suffering and love others and yourself.

>>52340 You have bodily autonomy, but that doesn't mean that what you do to your body is okay or that it should be tolerated and respected by society.

If you support capitalism you are an evil person and should commit suicide.

>>52367 I would like to add to my list >>52362 - Just like communists believe that REAL communism was never tried I believe that REAL capitalism has never been tried

>>52365 I reserve the right to kill myself and litter the street with my rancid shot apart body and no law in the world will ever do anything about it. do you even have any examples? Drugs would be one I guess, a good example as to why >doesn't mean that what you do to your body is okay or that it should be tolerated and respected by society is not a good concept

>>52305 >unapproved opinions >from plebbit read my post again. slowly. And then read your own post again. Slowly. And then write a proper reply, if you can still come up with one, if you're not to embarassed that is. >>52319 i misworded my post, and i wish to re-phrase it, so it becomes easier to understand: "unpopular opinon"-bullcrap is extremely prominent on plebbit, and was indeed probably spawned there. And i personally do not wish to engage in bullcrap that was created on that dump. 4chan has become an extension of plebbit, just for edgy kids. misc imageboards are there, and there are active ones, sometimes they are sh!lled here. You can try a-n-o-n.c-a-f-e (rem. spacers), which is integrated in a webring of other boards. onions are also an option, but there are also a few good alternative boards out there, and they're just waiting for mor activity. i think n-e-o-n-c-h-a-n.v-i-p was sh!lled here recently, it's a bit slow, but not bad.

>>52374 NTA, but here i go: 1. you are destroying your own life, but it was given by someone else, your parents. Your parents have hopes, dreams, they wish for you to be happy and continue the cycle of life. Killing yourself makes them lose all of that in an instant, decades of work and hopes, poof. gone. What would you say, if you worked on a project for decades, or earned money to buy a house, and your house or project just said "aight, imma finna leave this bichass world" and fvcking vaporized, all gone? 2. Your corpse has to be buried. It cannot just stay there. Someone will be paid to cart away your body, put it in a box and bury it, and someones has to pay. Your parents will most probably pay for your demise. If not, the taxpayer will carry your burial costs. 3. If you kill yourself, you miss out on a lot of potential developments. You may have become a millionaire, but you decided to off yourself, and that's it. And if all of that doesn't faze you, let me propose something to you: If you'll off yourself, do it with style, and go out with fireworks. blow yourself to smithereens in a public space, or do a tarrant, or blow up a bridge while standing on it. Do something cool with your suicide, something that puts you in the history books. That is something worthwile. And your life wouldn't have been wasted.

>>52371 >real capitalism has never been tried You don't know what capitalism is then.

>>52233 >im a neet. already obvious with the retarded takes parroted by every other shut in b/pol user try to do your own thinking for once Im rooting for you OP

>>52233 >i dont know jack soykaf abt the world. im a neet. but here we go... Yeah I can tell

>>52334 >Not to mention that suicide is usually an expression of mental illness, and not a deliberate "choice". I find your comment absolutely repulsive. Suicidal ideation itself is defined as mental illness; perhaps from that you can see that "mental illness" is not well-defined, but instead a culturally toxic terminology used as a weapon to violently attack people that deviate from being a profitable slave. >>52376 >1. you are destroying your own life, but it was given by someone else, your parents. Your parents have hopes, dreams, they wish for you to be happy and continue the cycle of life. Killing yourself makes them lose all of that in an instant, decades of work and hopes, poof. gone. What would you say, if you worked on a project for decades, or earned money to buy a house, and your house or project just said "aight, imma finna leave this bichass world" and fvcking vaporized, all gone? Dehumanizing, repulsive view. A human is not a project, it is its own being. Parents don't own you because they invested in you. You did not consent to being born. They in fact violated your consent by birthing you of their own volition. They deserve to suffer as punishment if they bring someone into the world whom then has such poor quality of life that they don't want to live. Even if you see it as a project, they deserve to suffer financial and emotional costs if they fail to build a happy person.

>>52375 >"unpopular opinon"-bullcrap is extremely prominent on plebbit, True but maybe it can actually work on an imageboard without karma. On reddit the whole concept is an atrocity when combined with the karma system designed to punish and censor unpopular ideas

I'm glad covid happened, with everything that came with it. It is the harbinger of change, the end of an era, and the beginning of the next.

>>52376 1. this is a pretty false equivalence. i am a person, not a project. my parents gave me life but it's mine to do whatever i want with. if they don't like what i do with it, that's their problem. 2. not necessarily. if i ever kill myself, my plan is to do it somewhere in the woods where my body can be reclaimed by the earth. 3. i do not care >blow yourself to smithereens in a public space, or do a tarrant, or blow up a bridge while standing on it. what the fuarrrk? >Do something cool with your suicide, something that puts you in the history books the most i could hope for is getting put on reddit, and i'll be damned if some prick uses my suicide for fuarrrking reddit karma

>>52478 >perhaps from that you can see that "mental illness" is not well-defined, but instead a culturally toxic terminology used as a weapon to violently attack people that deviate from being a profitable slave. On the other hand it is also a good way to describe people who are legit crazy and cannot think straight.

>>52338 >I don't know anyone who died from covid but the media said lots of people are dying somewhere else so it must be true Imagine for a second that the corporate media has an agenda and doesn't always tell the truth. >>52371 Just like how people who like communism have a different definition to everyone else, people who like capitalism also have a different definition to everyone else. Presumable you mean full free market capitalism has never been tried, where there is no government to protect monopolies and pump stolen tax money into stupid soykaf nobody would voluntarily spend their own money on.

>>52392 Neither do you what communism is >>52499 >Presumable you mean full free market capitalism has never been tried, where there is no government to protect monopolies and pump stolen tax money into stupid soykaf nobody would voluntarily spend their own money on. My game is to play the "dumb communism" gameplay at themselves. Whenever you point out the failure of communism they retort with "REAL COMMUNISM WAS NEVER TRIED" implying that they're the real arbitrors of what constitutes real communism. They soykaf on capitalism even though they would agree that current implementation of neoliberal crony capitalism is more corporatistic fascism than real free market capitalism. So I play dumb and retort with "true capitalism was never tried".

People should love and respect others a lot more. Being racist/homofobe is a waste of time. Caring so much about someone else's skin color or sexual deficiencies is simply stupid. The time wasted in racist forums could be better spent on yourself and doing great things to other people. Hatred should not fill your heart. The love of Jesus is the only thing that belongs in our hearts. Despite our society being so degenerate, we should not degenerate ourselves with dirty practices that shouldn't be done by people who reside in heaven. I know most Anons will try to convince me that racism is ok or that Abrahamic religions are racist.

>>52478 I wanted to write an elaborate post as an answer, but my browser decided to fvck me over. Have a tldr instead: >Dehumanizing, repulsive view. A human is not a project, it is its own being. Parents don't own you because they invested in you. You did not consent to being born You're wrong on multiple instances. First of all, dehumanising is a term that was invented by wimpy western f4gs, who have been pampered and softened by comfort and good life. Humans are disgusting, lowly trash. If you take away their comfort, their warm homes and food, they become worse than wolves. Next. Your parents planned you, created you, your mother birthed you painstakingly, they fed, clothed, housed and protected you for almost two decades, and it is indeed not their choice what you do with your life, but for all practical purposes, you owe them. And this western individualistic worldview of being a separate human is birthed from the luxury of not being forced to raise a lot of children for survival. Having one child is a luxury, having multiple is necessity. It is a form of retirement plan, and therefore a long term project. The dream of children and a happy family is a mental cope for the human brain, in order to not be permanently confronted with the cold reality of survival. But this cope has gone out of control, and results in people like you. Next. You didn't consent to being born. Exactly. Because you couldn't. So you neither consented, nor objected, so I can say it's your fault for not saying anything. But I'm not retarded, unlike some people. Being born is not a choice, it's a gift, and you're the lucky spermoid who was lucky enough to receive the gift of life. It's your choice what you want to do with your life, but, I hope, for the sake of your parents (who are, I'm sure, good people), that you have some brothers and sisters, who have some working human instincts and normal hormonal balance, so your parents won't land in a retirement home or on the streets. You're painting yourself as a humanist, but you're the most disgusting piece of trash I ever witnessed. Even the mentally ill friends I have, some of whom did have suicidal thoughts, haven't gone through with it, because they are worried for their parents and other relatives. I probably won't get through to you, but hopefully anyone who reads this will recognize you, and everyone like you, for what you are: disfunctional humans, pampered and and bathed in comfort, without any will to improve.

>>52508 True words, and something that should be said a lot more often. Not everyone will agree with the religious part, but the basic ideas of religions are very useful to live by.

>>52508 Remember, these are the people who then turn around and preach how the right wingers should be locked up, left to die on the streets and laugh at their death, all while they preach love and tolerance of the minorities and different sexualities How about you show love to the heterosexuals? To the white people? Do you love white people?

>>52508 While I am nonreligious I agree with the essence of what you say. I'm glad that Jesus has helped relieve you of your hatred. It's a shame that so many use Christianity as an excuse to hate or harm their fellow humans.

>>52480 literally nothing changed >b-but a wingnut argued with a wingnut and made a youtube video about it!! literally nothing changed

>>52535 strawman fallacy

>>52508 Stereotypes are grounded in statistical data. Empirical data is even more relevant because it applies directly to your city since it comes from your neighbourhood. Avoiding dangerous groups is rational. There is no justification to force people being nice to everyone, you just got guilt tripped by nonsense and social shaming to kill your natural threat detection.

>>52550 >Stereotypes are grounded in statistical data Nobody's collecting a meaningful and well distributed sample and then going "hmm it appears that black people are 25% more likely than non-black people to like fried chicken", except maybe KFC. >Empirical data is even more relevant because it applies directly to your city since it comes from your neighbourhood. Avoiding dangerous groups is rational. The only times in my life I've felt directly threatened was by white methheads. In general, I think your average suburb-dwelling p0ltard doesn't have enough life experience for their endorsement of stereotypes to be valid.

>>52563 Or maybe the ones with bad expriences who speak out get branded poltards by shutins like you who dont know whats going on in town. There are clear constants in which people cause issues on the regular and who should be avoided.

>>52564 So basically your argument is "my anecdote is more real than your anecdote!"

>>52566 no that was your argument. You said oh these people are wrong cause it didnt happen to me.

>>52563 >In general, I think your average suburb-dwelling p0ltard doesn't have enough life experience for their endorsement of stereotypes to be valid. Does that go both ways? Are the opinions of white privileged middle class progressive kids who never lived 10 miles from a racial minority also invalid?

>>52566 >So basically your argument is "my anecdote is more real than your anecdote!" Rationally speaking, since the anti-diversity social conservative Tr*mp voting types are generally poorer working class, I don't think it's far fetched to say they probably have more first hand experience with racial issues. Sorry. If you opinions match exactly what Hollywood and CNN and the New York Times say about an issue then it's probably you who is disconnected from reality.

>>52570 yes. >>52569 They said that direct empirical data would prove their side, but in my case it didn't. The point is that personal experience can be pretty varied but most actually-racist people (not just non-woke) have very little contact with the people they hate. >>52572 I don't watch CNN or Fox News or read NYT, so I don't know what the party line is these days.

>>52580 >I don't watch CNN or Fox News or read NYT, so I don't know what the party line is these days. I hate to break this to you but the baseless assertion that racism is caused by ignorance and never experience is the party line. >most actually-racist people (not just non-woke) have very little contact with the people they hate. Blacks and jews, pakis and Indians, nips and kimchees, arabs and persians, kurds and turks,. You're saying the problem is they don't have enough contact?

>>52581 >the baseless assertion that racism is caused by ignorance and never experience is the party line. Huh, weird of you to call something I've directly witnessed "baseless". But I guess I am repeating the party line, yeah. >Blacks and jews, pakis and Indians, nips and kimchees, arabs and persians, kurds and turks,. You're saying the problem is they don't have enough contact? *A* problem is, yes. In all of those situations you have individuals who automatically hate each other despite the fact they've never met. But of course in many of those situations you have ancient wounds that were never even apologized for, or purely nationalistic hatred (e.g. Pakistan vs. India, there's no such thing as an "ethnic paki")

>>52582 >In all of those situations you have individuals who automatically hate each other despite the fact they've never met. Or they have fundamentally incompatible cultures and forcing them to interact just causes more conflict not less.

>>52582 >Huh, weird of you to call something I've directly witnessed "baseless". Ok but confirmation bias means you're more likely to notice when an event confirms the dominant narrative rather than when it contradicts.

>>52580 The point of direct empirical data is a different one. The point is any stats you take will be some generalized average over a large region. It wont be relevant to your situation because individual situations are not mimicking the average. If the average is medium trouble it's not because everyone has medium issues but because some live in a soykafhole while others have zero issues and people talking soykaf about how everything is fine generally are the ones living sheltered. Secondary whatever group you hate will depend on whatever band of retards makes up your local gang. I've lived in multiple countries and i can name for each spot certain groups as a frequent cause of issues and others as never being a problem. These rankings are not identical. Your local situation is not mirrored by any statistics because nobody will pop up with a statistic regarding your city section. So people arguing about this online are simply ignorant of the simple fact that whatever is happening locally doesn't apply even across your entire city and not at all across different countries. So telling someone whatever he says ain't happening and he's wrong is pure arrogance.

>>52563 >The only times in my life I've felt directly threatened was by white methheads. Thats cuz u nevah get in da hood cracka, come to chicago we gun show you how we buck break a fine ass cracka like u

>Democracy is just plato's cave >Dictatorships are meritocracy realized >OJ simpson was actually innocent >Sex and any other swapping of fluids alters the genetics/personalities of both partners not just resulting offspring. >CDs/VHS tapes are the superior form of data storage >Western whites are poor genetic stock and poor companions in general >Egypt still rules through its Greek pharoahs' descendants >MKULtra was a success >Mythical/biblical creatures such as dragons(another remnant from the dinosaurs),goblins(other human species), and medusa(interspecies breed) likely existed at one point and went extinct at the dawn of modern humans >Greek culture plagiarized Persia's and made sure to leave no evidence to the contrary. >Jesus was a communist >Carthage would have been better for the development of the western world >Putting away your trolley is for plebs

>>52625 >Dictatorships are meritocracy realized Dictators are the just men with the greatest capacity for violence. Probably not really the kind of meritocracy you want.

Every single male should have an at least one prostrate orgams in their lives.

>>52625 >Putting away your trolley is for plebs this. i steal the shopping trolleys instead of putting them back. Then i cut them apart and sell them for scrap value. >>52637 how to achieve this? never been able to, i'm pretty sure it's just a meme at this point. Either that, or i'm just extremely insensitive.

>>52638 Vibrating dildo works great, though an real curved penis feels much better.

>>52638 How do you avoid getting fuarrrked by CCTV?

>>52634 >Dictators are the just men with the greatest capacity for violence. A monopoly on violence and its restraint is preferable to every other group/party or member in an oligarchy/aristocracy vying for it.

>>52641 my country is not cvcked by cctv yet. I can steal as much as i want, as long as i do it at night. I put the trolleys into the parking lot, and then steal them at away after dark. eazy fvck the w0rdf!lter

>>52642 Was that supposed to be english? The point you're missing is that the dude who is best at stabbing his rivals in the back and clinging to power is not necessarily the best person to actually lead a country. Your meritocracy is selecting for the wrong thing.

>>52644 >Was that supposed to be english? im sorry do u speak engrish? >The point you're missing is that the dude who is best at stabbing his rivals in the back and clinging to power i You're confusing that trend with modern democracies not actual dictatorships. Most supposed dictatorships today are the modern day equivalent to client kings, ergo the influence actually resides with another foreign body/power not the actual dictator. Popularity contests always have been 4 actual plebs (like u)

>>52647 You are still trying too hard to sound smart and failing to communicate anything meaningful. The original claim: >Dictatorships are meritocracy realized My counter point: >Dictatorships are meritocracy selecting for undesirable "merits" Your counter point: ???

>>52546 No its not, liar

>>52669 Usually you have rights in place that make sure the minority isn't chewed and spitted on the ground by the majority, which makes it the rule of the majority instead of tyrany of the majority. Although even if we assume your view, I don't know what makes tyrany of one better than that of many. It seems to be a meaningless decision then.

>>52672 >you have rights

>>52672 >"rights" Which can be changed in a heartbeat for "the greater good".

>>52673 Topkek synchronicity

>>52673 Halfchan quality post >>52674 Well, like I said. If you believe these laws are meaningless that you basically have no reason to choose. Both are tyranny, and I wouldn't know what makes one tyranny better than the other one. Both can fuarrrk you up in the same way. But one can at least benefit a large group of people while the other one kinda by definition can only benefit the few. Unless you buy into some great leader speech about how he will improve things for you, even though his life is so diffent from yours he can't even imagine living like you.

>>52676 Wow so much sophistry, good job Btw im not the guy you've reffered to as halfchan wuality post, but the other one

>>52677 >Wow so much sophistry, good job Well, if you had anything to really say you would have writen it differently already or explained yourself better, or said where exactly I'm wrong. But you don't, so I'm going to assume you are just some edgy kid who watched too much political youtube and experiences internet brainrot. I know cause I was the same. Lmao.

These opinions are unpopular in one context or another. I've gotten push-back from others on each of these points. Whether or not they are popular or unpopular in the general population I do not know; everyone I talk to is a very online degenerate and if not for the fact that I am less bad at making computers do things than most people I'd be a shut-in. >Fascism, misogyny, racism, etc. - ironic or otherwise - are bad, actually >Not because morality is real, but because there is no good reason to treat other people poorly >Trolling was never funny, it's just an excuse to be abusive >Likewise, being edgy or contrarian for its own sake is not a replacement for a personality >Neither is seeking out some obscure ideology to LARP online >People who are combative online tend to be miserable in one or more aspects of their life >Nothing actually has any meaning, the only reason anyone thinks it does is because brains are meaning-producing machines >That applies to religion as well >However, science is only as objective as the humans that do it - that is to say, not very >So being an edgelord anti-theist also makes no sense >Scientologists are actually kind of based for being anti-psychiatry (although not for anything else) >Everyone who experiences sexual attraction is probably at least a little gay, the notion that sexuality is some fixed thing makes no sense >Gender and the gender roles that emerge from the concept of gender are outdated concepts invented by people who knew fuarrrk all about the world >Capitalism will be the death of humans, and perhaps the planet >But the very online communists who think they will be the saviors of everyone are just participating in a secular form of apocalypticism >Everything is impermanent and attachment to anything is delusional >There is no such thing as "humanity" >But people only become individuals in relation to others - individualism makes no sense >Still, people have no obligation to "be" any particular way >Social media in all its forms should be abolished (image boards included) >So should the Internet >Most peoples' opinions are probably batshit insane, mine included

>>52706 >Scientologists are actually kind of based for being anti-psychiatry (although not for anything else) this is interesting, never really saw them as a threat really, now that I think about it alot of what we hear about them is probably christian bts putting out propaganda since they were caught with there pants down they are almost as demonised as communists. >But the very online communists who think they will be the saviors of everyone are just participating in a secular form of apocalypticism they are just larpers at this point, no one takes them srsly. >Social media in all its forms should be abolished (image boards included) >So should the Internet nah, you would only b much more bored/miserable especially if u live in bumfuk nowhere. people were already cliquish by the time it came around rest of your opinions arent even unpopular, since they are generally accepted across much of the interwebs.

>>52707 >nah, you would only b much more bored/miserable especially if u live in bumfuk nowhere. people were already cliquish by the time it came around I would, I do, they were, it still should. Boredom is preferable to the brain rot of the internet and the mindless consumerism it facilitates.

>>52708 what are your browsing habits, lainon?

>>52708 >Trolling was never funny, it's just an excuse to be abusive u spent too much time on 4chan

>>52709 Currently I use Discord to talk to people online because that’s where people are and I don’t want to be entirely alone. Other than that, I just listen to music and watch YouTube videos about various things. I come here when I’m depressed. Sometimes I read things. I’ve actually been watching anime again recently. I do surprisingly little for the number of hours I waste online. >>52710 I did, but it’s not just 4chan. As much as I hate the culture there, normal people are every bit as vile in their willingness to put others down for a cheap laugh.

troling is not abusve, its an iq check and you failed it if you think its a problem.

>>52712 IQ is another item on the long list of things that are fake but people pretend mean something so that they can differentiate themselves from others like they’re somehow special

>>52702 why not pic a site with more people on it to post bait?

>>52711 been having a hard time going back to 4chan, since quality posts have become non-existent last i checked. the boards i only visited regularly were adv,g,wsg,ck,t, and wsr. They only 1 i kinda check on is /t since they do have some content i would have a hard time finding elsewhere. If i am really SOL i would probably go to /wsr. any boards/imageboards you recommend?

>>52712 >troling is not abusve, its an iq check Trolling is not really about cognitive intelligence it's more about emotional intelligence. You need to understand how other people work in order to manipulate them into giving amusing reactions and to appreciate when someone else does the same. So it's actually a performance art. Those who struggle to understand the emotions of other people (autism) generally hate trolling or can't do it properly. The monarchist guy who talked in circles and insulted everyone is an example of someone too autistic to troll because the only person he amused was himself and is completely oblivious to how others perceive the interaction. >>52713 >IQ is another item on the long list of things that are fake but people pretend mean something Good to know. Next time you go to the hospital we can save some money by giving you a 70iq doctor. >>52686 >Gold is a stupid investment Gold is not an investment because the supply is always (slowly and consistently) going up but demand stays the same. The point of gold is as as a long term store of value because supply goes up much slower than fiat.

>>52706 you sound like someone who assumes all off-center opinions exist solely to posture, which as cliche as it sounds reflects more on your beliefs than other peoples.

>>52716 I like your pic but raw cognitive power can substitute average emotional int. Thats how you get turboautists who can behave normal but prefer to be alone - its just too much work to pretend being a normal person because it requires a soykafload of thinking to imitate manually.

People ITT dont understand that OP baited them into arguing

>>52478 Labeling purely destructive behavior "mental illness" is the exact opposite of toxic, it is entirely necessary for a culture to survive, let alone thrive. Few people who commit suicide do so because they looked at their life objectively and came to the conclusion that death is preferable, rather they do so after years of depression, which is defined by not being able to see reality clearly (ask people who struggle deal with or overcame genuine clinical depression). It's fuarrrked up to pretend suicide is a heroic way to free yourself from wage slavery or whatever else. People past the teenage "maybe im so cool i wanna die" phase usually don't enjoy being suicidal, believe it or not, and either overcome it or cave in to it. You are not don't helping anyone with this rhetoric and that includes yourself lain. >>52478 >>52340 Yall also seem to have a quite nihilistic worldview, at which point were not even able to argue really, since you can't have an argument if one of the parties doesn't believe that there is an objective right or wrong, or any value or meaning to logic, truth, facts or such.

>>52508 It's all about the definition of those words. With the modern definition of homophobia, it might as well be impossible to be Christian and non-homophobe. Similarly wanting to stick (in any which way) to your own ethnicity is considered racist by many (an ever growing amount of people). Not to mention that different ethnic groups are not treated equal in this matter. Being mean on the internet is bad and carrying hate in your heart for specific people is as well, but many people (me) have bigger problems with being too lenient for the sake of agreement and comfort, instead for standing for your beliefs, be them religious or not. Also Jesus explicitly said that he came NOT to bring people together, but to DIVIDE the good from the bad, to divide even family members from each other if need be.

>>52722 >It's all about the definition of those words. >With the modern definition of homophobia, it might as well be impossible to be Christian and non-homophobe. -phobia just means disgust and it's perfectly natural for a sexually reproducing species to be disgusted by things that prevent sexual reproduction. Just like how gays are supposedly born gay, everyone else is born homophobic. Respect is supposed to go both ways.

phobia means fear aka arachnophobia fear of spiders. Hating types of people for proved worse behaviour is not a phobia but you might as well try to educate deer on road rules.

>>52723 So following that logic you should think it's normal to be disgusted by sexual consent existing.

>>52717 My beliefs are significantly more off-center than most people, and I probably hate centrists more than anyone I mentioned in my comment. What I disagree with are the narratives and justifications they are commonly used to support the prevailing ideologies I find online (irl too). When you don’t have blind faith in identity, or in a particular way of knowing, or that your positions are somehow morally correct, the ways that you justify your thinking have to change significantly. Not that I’m particularly good at thinking, I’m just as soykaf as everyone I criticized. I just find the ways they do it tiring.

>>52716 The fact that IQ can identify severe deficits in small subsets of people with disabilities does not make it a good measure of generalized intelligence or something that actually matters for the vast majority of humans. That is my point. Those are two incredibly different measures and conflating them tells me you’ve never actually thought about your take beyond wanting to think you’re in some way superior to others.No soykaf a doctor won’t have a 70 IQ. They were probably raised in a middle class family, born without disability, provided significant opportunities in their childhood, and completed several years of post-secondary education. Where it loses its validity is in the notion that I should know or give a fuarrrk that my doctor has an average IQ or an above average IQ. Same goes for anyone else.

>>52723 is it also natural to be disgusted by clothing?

>>52743 an iq test is interchangeable with the degree. Either you trust into tests or you dont. And said degree can be fake paid too. Poor smart people ghostwrite for rich idiots and these then go on playing doctor.

>>52750 >an iq test is interchangeable with the degree [citation needed]

>>52755 a test is a test how simple do you need this to be to understand it?

>>52716 >Gold is not an investment yes it is, try again sally >Next time you go to the hospital we can save some money by giving you a 70iq doctor. doctor are some of the dumbest fukkks you can evr meet, they really have their heads up their collective gluteus maximuses >The monarchist guy who talked in circles still sore about that arent u?

Kids got right the problems with the xx century mindset crap, we seem to be understanding what are the real issues. Climate, selfishness, structural inefficience all across the leaders regardless of ideology, constant awareness of how our actions affect others We're still focusing on irrelevant nonsense like how to roleplay along with the T collective and need to work around some important issues like the need and value of work, but the priorities point out to a more mature society eventually developing

>>52756 Different tests measure different things. How simple do you need this to be to understand it?

>>52766 Those tests correlate so no

Every opinion in this thread is popular.

my opinion is i have an opinion

>>52306 >advancing civilization is not a valid goal since it tends to focus on tools and abstractions instead of actual humans, so why the fuarrrk Actual humans have a better life when their food income is secure and they live in a nice and warm home. >anything that "just makes life easier bro lol" will only make you stupider and lazier I wouldn't call medieval peasants more intelligent and they worked a lot less than us. >if any real mortal pandemic actually happens, it would be a total disaster and society would collapse truly The plague proved this. States just stopped to exist because people stopped paying taxes, cops and soldiers went home to take care of their own and no one would invade or go into someone else home. It went back to normal after that. Life was even better for the ones who didn't died. >a vile mass destructive WW3 would be better to humanity in a long term than what's happening right now Everyday I pray for a nuclear winter. >the only thing that should matter to any ruling institution ever is general quality of life Everyone want the same thing but disagree on the means to get it. >imageboards are the last hope for the internet subculture to survive, if it's censored, a lot of people will commit suicide We will just go deeper, but it will not happen because politicians are fine with 0,1% of the population being free. >norm1es are the reason things are so bad because they were seduced into selling their souls to Satan through colorful bullshit and consumerism Wouldn't say it like that but yeah. >we're all under the risk of selling our souls without even knowing it and Jesus lets this happen because he kinda like to troll us by testing if we can endure the temptation of being total retards You can't sell your soul without willingly posing your mark on a contract, lust like you can't sell your shoes by mistake. >the only authentic form of society is perpetual tribal wars, which would be better than now because humans can't flourish when too far away from it's instinctual (and violent) essence Rituals, common culture and sharing moments hold people together. A country that does not promote a single culture is a divided country. There is a price to pay to be one. >some terrible occult soykaf happened in 2012 and that's why humanity is now fuarrrked and the dream of an acceptable society has become impossible Take your meds. >worldly things can only be perceived as good if you are retarded or so godly wise that you summon little birds just by thinking positive Good and bad are moral ideal, not real. The world is made of people, none of them being good or evil. Stalin just wanted to secure the power for himself. Sister Emanuelle wanted people to be trapped into misery. >past lives exist and we won't remember it because society steals our time, and that's the idea actually Take your meds. >things will only minimally prosper from now on if it is a good business for the big players and that's why artistic effort is dead Art still exist, look at the picture on the box of your graphic card. What is sold as art is just a scheme to fraud tax and is ugly on purpose. They want the public space to be devoid of beauty, culture or anything that will make people proud or feel they are part of something because that would make people oppose global trade and it's bad for business.

Warning, real unpopular opinion incoming. Lain have erased the past and all tracks and records of it. She have created false memories and by doing so, manipulated everyone into doing what she want them to do and thinking what she want them to think. She turned the entire world population into pets. What do I say, pets have their own mind. She turned the entire population into mindless walking corps, like Umbrella corporation but at least Umbrella had plans for a better future, just not for everyone. This isn't different from sending everyone in jail and forcing them to behave, except people don't even know they are in jail. This is more dystopian than brave new world. Closing the world, opening the next is the second more evil move in the entire history of fiction and only wanting to destroy the world for no reason is worse. She is the baddie of serial experiment Lain and knights tried to save the world by creating a version of her who only act on a small scale. If she wasn't a cute anime girl you would see it.

$50 OP is the same OP as the COVID thread. Time to go back to 4chan and/or Reddit r/unpopularopinion buddy. Lainchan isn't a place for political propaganda.

>>54314 It's obviously a show with a lot of room for interpretation, but my understanding was that lain was going to exist, in some form or another, as long as the Wired did (possibly before and after too) and Masami Eiri and the Knights wanted to manipulate her for their own ends. Other than removing the memory of herself she left people alone, which seems more like freeing them from her potential influence than anything.

>>54318 Say that to theses guys. They ended having a completely different life.

>>52252 elaborate more on this.

>>54314 >Deus ex machina (/ˌdeɪəs ɛks ˈmækɪnə, - ˈmɑːk-/ DAY-əs ex-MA(H)K-in-ə,[1] Latin: [ˈdɛ.ʊs ɛks ˈmaːkʰɪnaː]; plural: dei ex machina; English "god out of the machine") is a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem in a story is suddenly and abruptly resolved by an unexpected and unlikely occurrence. Its function is generally to resolve an otherwise irresolvable plot situation The lain tv show finale it's literally the oldest plot device invented by humankind. Yeah the authors could have come with something better for the finale and yes Lain's moral compass is terrible >>54319 mmmhhhh.... all other characters lives are slight modified so that they don't remind Lain and, for the Tachibana employees, they don't come with the idea of Protocol 7. IMHO the two men are still working as hitmen maybe they were undercover as technicians to spy in someone's apartment. idk I like this explanation because otherwise it would be quite a career downgrade from hitman to technician for the electric company and it would have been quite some work for Lain to re-arrange all people's memories to lead a western-man and a chinese-man to work as blue collars colleagues in Japan

>>52499 please tell me you are posting that picture ironically, it is dangerously utilitarian to draw conclusions from the deaths as a percent of a population considering how large it is

>>54593 "Dangerous" in the context of society and politics is a word that whiny bitches tend to use when they want to pretend to be thoughtful and feel self-important. Don't be a whiny bitch. You like to say "problematic" in casual conversations too?

>>54208 Unpopular opinion rebound, "quoted here" edition. >actual humans have a better life when their food income is secure and they live in a nice and warm home Life without grinding with the reality (and wonders) of nature is just some sort of protolife. Artificiality can't keep humanity's reign forever, and considering how much we cause damage in absolute terms, a "nice and warm home" isn't going to be sustained for a long time for most of us. It's an unsustainable illusion to maintain billions of humans living worthy, satisfying lives within the same 3D monkey approach. We should just forget this comfort search psyops and just accept what life is in this world with proper gratitude, understanding that the intellect that's present in the architecture of nature knows infinitely better than us. >I wouldn't call medieval peasants more intelligent and they worked a lot less than us I'm not advocating for medieval times here, although it seemed like a better time than now. I don't believe they worked - in a proper sense - less than men do today. A few hours of excruciating manual labor beats hours of useless, braindead average jobs. And merely being able to have access to fast information and repeating data isn't a big intelligence display at all, considering what we've been doing in history. You need intelligence and endurance to hunt, fish, make manure, handcraft, etc., but in a different way than our effort-produced mental strain just to live for a week. Stupidity is also different than being ignorant towards specific and undiscovered info. I actually believe people tend to be happier working very hard for short periods of time, according to the necessity. Way healthier than the morality of vain productivity we live by now. >it went back to normal after that. Life was even better for the ones who didn't died. Actually back to normal, would be a gift from nature to happen that way now, but fat, old, useless and cultural-induced retardation victims are too valuable to the power structures, lol. If they vanished, it would be hard for them to maintain control. >everyday I pray for a nuclear winter. Amen to that. I pray for reverse rapture. God takes all the normal people to another planet, leaving only the 60 cool sensible people on earth to inherit everything and live in peace. >everyone want the same thing but disagree on the means to get it "Everyone" are kind of alienated regarding these institutes, so, a bunch of people wanting something means soykaf in directly practical terms. Besides perpetuating idiotic ideological friction, of course. >we will just go deeper, but it will not happen because politicians are fine with 0,1% of the population being free. Sure hope so, friend. >you can't sell your soul without willingly posing your mark on a contract, lust like you can't sell your shoes by mistake But you can sign that without reading it because you're stupid and some smug bastard induced you to, lol. >rituals, common culture and sharing moments hold people together. A country that does not promote a single culture is a divided country. There is a price to pay to be one. Just gonna be simplistic and say that soykaf got too unnecessarily complex because too much people. Also, I'm talking about the one global western culture abomination we're living now. That's the chimera. I'm not against a country preserving it's culture, problem is, a country wanting to be greater than it could be came with a price too, now we suffer the consequences. Embrace globohomo for money, actually get into a crisis and lose all sense of dignity. >Take your meds Glow harder, asshole. Just kidding. I don't need any meds, I'm just built differently. >Art still exist, look at the picture on the box of your graphic card. What is sold as art is just a scheme to fraud tax and is ugly on purpose. They want the public space to be devoid of beauty, culture or anything that will make people proud or feel they are part of something because that would make people oppose global trade and it's bad for business. Art and big business never belong together, otherwise is just cheap pop culture. But yeah, not going to be radical on this, there are still some good stuff being produced, you just gotta dig hard and avoid clumps of advertisement.

>>54462 not him but most people are just repeating what they got told especially when they are unable to understand and reason about the subject. As such they don't hold any opinion of their own, they merely amplify opinions of the people who program them. Letting them speak is just a disservice to discussion. tldr: npc meme is real.

When you ask people why they miss the old internet, they'll give you some great reasons, but there's one thing you'll never see them mention. It's that the internet was more "segregated" during the old days. Which is to say that everyone kept to their own communities and wouldn't try to influence any other (outside of small-scale raids by places like /b/ or SA). This meant that all the lunatics kept to their own corners of the internet. The only interaction they had with the rest of the internet was one-sided, with others going there solely to take screencaps and laugh at them. There was no social media to give them a vector to spread their bullshit.

>>55583 >It's that the internet was more "segregated" during the old days But I mention this. Its one of the reasons why I prefer it it.
