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/

I disagree, Karl. Zionists are out of effing control on reddit today, and they pollute threads with denials of whats clearly shown in the news, or else make wild claims without evidence.
You are of course, wle come to your opinion, but what you are saying makes no sense to me.
I just had a guy here tell me that shooting civilians in Israel was OK, because there are no Israeli civilians.
The anti-semitism here is effing out of control.
My dude, if after all what has happened. You still live in israel... you are indeed pro-genocide.
Like the old saying: if you are at a table with 9 nazis, there are 10 nazis at the table. Speak up or be complicit.
It's harder than before to try and migrate to other countries. I live in the USA and want to not do so but everywhere I've looked, even Canada, isn't looking for much of anything besides specialists in STEM fields and medical experts.
I mean there are a few of them trying real hard but they get downvoted to oblivion.
Do you count people that served in the IOF and are part of the reserve as civilians? That's the thing most talk about. And again with the anitsemitism 🙄 people have a lot better reasons to hate israelis than "zomg jews"
Nope, it was explicitly every single Israeli. Explicitly stated. A mod has removed the comment now, so I can't link to it - but that kinda proves my point (unless you think I am making up everything).
I do get the impression that lots of people here believe the sentiment in that comment. While being too self aware to actually state it in writing.
You can link to comments if they were removed though. You can find them in the modlog. Click the three dots and "show user moderation history" or "comment moderation history".
Also that's still not antisemitism.
The prevailing theory here is violence is good as long as it's down to the 'bad' people and it's wrong if it's done against the 'good' people.
With total ignorance of the fact... this is the same rationale that is causing the genocide in Gaza.
Then people scream about human rights or whatever, and fail to realize that they apply to everyone, not just who they think is good.
Whereas on Lemmy antisemitism is widespread.
I hate the government of Israel and those in it that are fine with their warmongering, genocidal ways. If you don't fall under that camp, you're generally alright. Just like with Russia, China, even the USA. It's not anti-semitism, that's what the neo-nazis do.
Your calling anti zionist stuff "antisemitic" is the real lie here, you just wont admit it because you're a propogandist liar.
Antizionism and antisemitism aren’t the same but one masks as the other all the time.
How do we know you aren't a Zionist?
you can read my comment stream and its pretty obvious.
sounds like something a zionist would say.
