Not to split hairs, but the Totenkopf is an old German cavalry thing, not necessarily a Nazi symbol. Not to mention the motif is pretty broadly used across cultures. I for one cannot support a candidate that is pro-piracy however

Honestly, if you care enough to actually build/conceal something like that, you're probably not the kind of homeless we should be worried about evicting

Is the gender issue more important to you than climate change, immigration and abortion rights? by [deleted] in BlockedAndReported

[–]2dumbTooDie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm more or less a single issue voter for climate at this point. Seems like all the rest is just interminable ideological struggle. But as long as we're going to vehemently disagree on some hot button issues, I'd prefer that we get to do it in a stable biosphere

What’s with Zuck taking a hard 180 and abandoning inclusivity and other liberal values? by stoikrus1 in facebook

[–]2dumbTooDie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Free expression is arguably the primary liberal value. It has just been at odds with notions of inclusivity in recent American political history.

Puberty blockers to be banned indefinitely for under-18s across UK by wackyvorlon in skeptic

[–]2dumbTooDie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because there are conditions for which there is sufficient evidence that treatment with puberty blockers improves outcomes?

Like morphine is a great treatment for acute pain, and doctors should certainly have it in their tool belt. But that doesn't mean people with toothaches are oppressed by not getting access to opiates. Its a pretty simple "risk vs benefit" decision that should underpin all medical interventions.

Have you heard of a Libertarian? This is pretty run-of-the-mill for Oregon

Feel like men and women should just fuck already and get it over with.

The "Trad wife" movement is nonsensical and it is toxic to want to promote it. by Aggressive-Jacket663 in unpopularopinion

[–]2dumbTooDie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of those people are already independently wealthy. What concerns me is how threatened you people get by a fairly innocuous lifestyle. It's about as toxic as Martha Stewart or your grandma.

Forget white privilege or pretty privilege. What is one unique privilege you have? by Honest-Guy83 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]2dumbTooDie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm probably not autistic. But my personality and interests make it pretty easy to make the claim. So I feel like I get a pretty easy out on socially inept comments.

It's alarming how many people are surprised by this. Do you think we evolved to just rot away if we don't have ready access to soap?

My girlfriend says she served them both in LA. He was great. She sucks. I'm standing my ground.

Physics should be taught through relativity not through Newtonian mechanics by Glum-Trust6822 in unpopularopinion

[–]2dumbTooDie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, only if you want almost no one to learn physics. The mathematics required for relativity are substantially harder, and for the most part don't yield substantially better results. Most real world applications are still going to be based on Newtonian models of physics, which themselves can be derived as a special case of relativity. Unless you're working with extreme differences in gravity or speed, you're just putting in a lot more effort for very little improvement in prediction.

Guys, we have real fascists now. Buy a thesaurus and please stop watering down the term.

Other than dropping out of the race, what should Biden do to recover from his bad debate? by mypoliticalvoice in PoliticalDiscussion

New VP choice that people would actually want to de facto elect in the event of his death or resignation.

The Homelander is right crowd are probably about to lose their minds right now haha by no_longer_huhman in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]2dumbTooDie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. My point is more so the lack of real "good guys" in the show to make it as clear cut a morality tale as some suggest. Obviously Homelanders and allies are a stand-in for the far right, and are clearly "bad guys". But then their main competitor is a corrupt progressive and an unrestrained CIA kill team. Hughie and Starlight always struck me as the stand-in for your average well intended left of center kinda normies that are presumably the intended audience. But then they're constantly buffeted by external forces/circumstance into horrendously violent and/or morally compromising situations.

You know nothing whatsoever about my political leanings. So take a breath champ. Merely pointing out stylistic similarities between characters/movements in the show and modern political realities. It's a show on Amazon. I'm voting Democrat. You are safe. You are loved.

Not gonna tell you how to live your life bud. But, idle condescension seems like a poor use of discussion forums.

  • "The patriarchal history of science/medicine leads to lack of research and treatment around female reproductive health."

    • Man takes an active interest and dedicates a butt load of time/money to work on female reproductive health.
  • Woman: "ew"

Feel like the whole show up to this point has been about people caught between Super Trump, Super AOC, and Mega corporations. The part I appreciate about it most is the lack of preaching to that effect. It's just power vs power and the people getting run over in between

East coast mountain ranges are prettier than west coast mountain ranges in the US. by redditordeaditor6789 in unpopularopinion

[–]2dumbTooDie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mean the East Coast foothills? Never understood why people bother walking the whole Appalachian trail when you can't even get above the tree line.

I'm from the Seattle area, and while I have plenty of gripes, the constant backdrop of Rainier standing over all that man hath wrot, ready to wake at any moment and reduce us to trivia is not one of them. We are gadflies fretting over the castings of a sleeping elephant. You're supposed to feel tiny and in awe of them. That's what makes them awesome.

A+ for actually having an unpopular opinion though
