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/

MODERATORS
 

If society pushed this it would make the parents more responsible at teaching their children to be aware of their surroundings, how to defend themselves and how to not be victimized. Also if the parents didn't teach their child, the children would pick up on it by association, as their friends and peers would resonate with the mindset and ability.

This is not "unpopular" it's just stupid IMO.

She is a full blown nazi,nothing to see here. See her other threads.

Thanks, I have only recently seen that person here and thought she was just insane.

Edit: i checked her threads a bit and she sounds like a 16 yo incel with dunning kruger, any link to some real bad stuff warranting the nazi stamp? I mean one can be argued with, the other I think not.

In the "remove people with mental health issues from society" she literally used the language of Goebbels. Like word by word.

Can't find the post 😐 I'm getting brain damage scrolling through her posts.

I mean we do need to remove some people with mental health issues from society to protect both society and the patients themselves, we do that already. The difference is that the nazis killed them, we in the west tries to help them (might be debatable in some countries but at least we don't kill them).

Not want to debate but I'd like to settle my mind, nazi or "just" insane? I mean if you have the post somewhere otherwise no problemo, cheers.

So ... like no law enforcement at all?

Do you think they should be able to vote ?

If they have to be adults at 15 they might as well have access to the system

I've met plenty of full grown adults that can't do that. Lowering the age it becomes their own problem won't fix that.
