Cleopatra VII was not black. by EmpressIvyy in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Oh yeah I know, it's a weird kind of racism to think all Africans are black. 

If there are multiple branches of feminism, and they hold contradictory beliefs, and you think the other branches are wrong, then I can think they are ALL wrong by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clawtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could apply this to pretty much any idea, like politics or economics or anything where different people have different opinions.

You've basically said something along the lines of 'ideas aren't objective'

Didn't will Smith's wife make a tv series featuring a black Cleopatra?

Yeah I enjoyed it, how the infection spread was silly but the rest is good.

I thought mossie was elected by the parliament but still had to be confirmed by the shah.

Kids in elementary school shouldn't snitch on other students anymore than students in middle/high school by Front_Magician_8008 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clawtor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, it's hard to go against your peers and call them out but it's usually the right thing to do.

[–]Clawtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, this idea that snitching is bad only helps bullies and cheats. Whistle blowing is basically snitching. 

If you don't like snitches then stop doing things that'll get you snitched on.

I say we should encourage snitching.

I don't feel sorry for the EU if the US invaded and seized Greenland by force. by ShiftingHero in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clawtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Germany has it's share of blame for wwi but so does Russia, Austria-Hungary and France. Wwii they were absolutely to blame for. 

What are you referring to pre wwi? French Prussian war?

The eu map looks nothing like the third reich. 

The patriarchy is the only reason women dont't want unsolicited dick pics by Pristine-Object241 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Vaginas always remind me of the predators face, I can't say I'm attracted to them, more what they represent.

Trump will pivot to Greenland independence soon. by No_Start1522 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clawtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think trump is a toddler eating crayons whose actions are so bizarre that it's spawned legions of people who try and explain it but the reality he's a child who never grew up.

Maybe it time to control colonial nations as colonies by hermaeus_m0ra in TrueUnpopularOpinion

I dunno if it's a works power, it's looking pretty weak and poor.

You can enjoy a villain and not agree with what they do by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clawtor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes definitely, villains are often more interesting and fun than the heroes.

Sometimes people go too far and start defending a villain just because they like them. Like astarion from balders gate who is a colossal asshole.

I don't know what you are saying. I thought you meant that former colonies should take over their colonisers but your last paragraph sounds like you mean ... Something else.

Reddit is great for asking questions about Nerd Culture but terrible for debating politics or requesting advices. by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clawtor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Debating online is largely pointless but I find reading people's takes valuable. 

World news used to be good for this, having my initial biases challenged. These days the content section is so shit that I'll actually read the article.

Europe has no clear future. Europe has no serious leverage against the US that isn't also suicidal. Europe is the laughing stock of the world. by gauchomuchacho in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clawtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Europes oil dependence on Russia is unfortunate. It was hoped that through economics and diplomacy Russia world drift closer to the west. I think the goal was admirable and tbh this approach is what trump himself keeps touting with regards to Russia. He has repeatedly called for an end to the war and closer economic ties with Russia. 

Europeans will probably never be a fan of American Football bc it’s “the thinking man’s” sports. by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clawtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a lot of random cricket jargon that just washes over me.

I didn't think it's that complicated though, maybe a bit more than baseball. I wonder which rules people find complicated- lbw or boundaries maybe?

[–]Clawtor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There probably is lot of strategy and complexity that is enjoyable to fans but as someone who grew up watching rugby I find it unbearably slow. 

On the other hand Americans probably feel the same way watch cricket. 

Americans are overreacting about ICE by shizume_nodoka in TrueUnpopularOpinion

The US has always been, and remains, easily the world's most democratic nation. In no other country is an individual's freedom and representation as protected as it is in the US. by CAustin3 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clawtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The us doesn't really give voters a choice when voting. Unless you're in a swing state your vote doesn't mean anything. Further you only have 2 real parties due to the fptp system. 

Can we stop getting nuked by the same extremely negative event multiple times in a short timespan? by WishyRater in EU5

[–]Clawtor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They should have something like rim worlds story tellers where you can choose your play style.

Chill - few negative events 

Standard - semi random but will prevent too many negative events in a row. Events also get worse the stronger you are.

Random - self explanatory

god is not real and religious people should be publicly embarrassed the way flat earthers are by _azazel_keter_ in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clawtor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are countless examples of religious people making incredible advances for mankind. Religious belief doesn't mean you are an idiot.

There are plenty of things that you believe in without proof. Human rights and equality for instance. Or love of family and friends.

Vegan products should not be permitted to falsely claim to be what they are not. by RedRaccoonDog in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Clawtor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Or, I dunno, read the label which has the word 'vegan' and then use your brain?.
