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/

LOL "went from being “upholders of democracy” just after WW2 "
Never happened.
They always liked fascism, saved plenty nazis during and right after WW2.
Welcomed pure fascist states under Franco, Salazar and others in their NATO warmongering gang of thugs and did nothing but topple democracies, steal and loot.
And this was the same before WW2.
They actually had Nazi rallies and were very supportive of the nazi party that's why so many white supremacists in US hate Jews because of Nazi relationships. Let's just say the KKK had more in common with the Nazi's than they did with helping Europe.
And they only chose to 'fight' against the nazis when they were sure they had lost (Stalingrad 1943).
Royally late and with the only purpose of getting a part of Europe under their control before the Soviets got it all and killed their nazi friends.
Also why so many nazi scientists were imported. Who cares when you already have white supremacy at home about crimes against humanity.
Everytime they mention the scientist, which is pragmatically understandable.
Ask them why they saved 1000's of SS troops that hadnothing to offer and commited massive warcrimes.
It's total proof the US/UK supported fascism.
But you won't read any of that in the history books.
