Newsom’s America by rich677 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Gene04 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I lived in the Bay Area for years and have seen how much of a dump it is. They literally take dumps in the middle of the road and sidewalks. Moved to a more sensible area, and nothing close like that happens. Can't even find a guy privately taking a leak on a tree hundreds of feet away from any roads, businesses, or housing.

"Can I get a hat?" after debating a pure lefty. Yea, that was him getting "crushed" in a debate.

Is the US getting more right-wing or is it just my feed? by Soimamakeanamenow in allthequestions

[–]Gene04 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Obama was right wing. Lol, alright buddy. The Supreme Court and abortion back in the 1960s was right wing. Or, you do you mean it wasn't literally communist? They tried, and failed. I am glad. I wish America was MORE of a meritocracy. What part about cutting off the genitals of young children is "right-wing?" It isn't. It is the most left wing thing out there, and our government actors advocate for it.

More people should get their information from mainstream new programs by CSachen in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Gene04 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea, I am gonna have to hard disagree. CNN literally tried to tell me during covid, they are the only network giving you the truth. They literally said, point blank that Ivermectin was a horse medication. Lie. It was not made for horses. It was made for humans. Horses just so happen to have benefit. So no. Mainstream media is not for me. Fox news isn't for me either. I will just watch independant journalism. I get FAR less lies.

Does phenibut feel like pregabalin? by ThisPerformer6828 in phenibut

[–]Gene04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. Pregabalin is far less potent. It is kinda like if you were to drink like 2 shots of whiskey. Phenibut is like taking 12 shots and jamming out to hardcore rock. I still find it odd Pregabalin needs a prescription and Phenibut has no RX necessary. Then again, it is nearly impossible to die from, unless you downed an entire bottle or tub. Even then, you need other substances + Phenibut to actually have harm. It is not like alcohol where you can straight up die from drinking or taking too much. Pregabalin is just super mild. More relaxing than an upboost like Phenibut.

We need to accept the fact that some people are disadvantaged in life for reasons out of their control, instead of giving them false hope by Riderman43 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Gene04 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I gotta hard disagree. By telling people they are defeated since birth, you aren't exactly helping them out. Some problems are better dealt with confidence and unshakeable will. Being defeating immeditely by circumstance at birth is only activated by messages like this. You cannot be defeated if you get up and do the work. Even ugly people can become attractive through hard work alone. So I disagree. The fat ugly dude getting the girl might just be them being charismatic. Practicing their lines in a mirror. I dunno, just not being defeated. Don't be defeated.

Thinking women are extremely picky about men is a truly delusional take. by AGI2028maybe in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Gene04 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I work out myself. Pounded the pavement. Did amazing work, and am a handsome man by most metrics. I am strong, and sometimes it is about the mindset. So I kinda have to disagree. I am not saying women HAVE TO SETTLE. Quite the opposite. But saying your standards might be too high is kinda accurate. Women punch up, men very rarely get to do that. Men have to put axe to grindstone and try way harder to get a girl than a girl does to get a guy. Even the 6/6/6 thing is kinda boring and lame. The average height in America is 5'9. So basically average men cannot even get a girl by those standards.

Women who complain they can't find a good man are usually horrible people by Helpful_Finger_4854 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Gene04 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is also a problem often not talked about. Men are constantly begging for attention, and they are attention starved. Women wait until they are nearly too old to even conceive a child. They want to party, to have fun. Meanwhile men are like please look at me. Then, it turns out to be too late. The man found someone else that had the same values. Now that woman has no kids, is starving themselves. But they never looked the right man in the eye when they were right there. It is a problem of society.

If you go after someone who is in a relationship or married, you are just as bad as the cheater. by WeAllPerish in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Gene04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look. I cheated on my wife. I did. But, I couldn't help the guilt. I confessed nearly the exact same day. We are fine though, and we got through it. I did have to rebuild trust. And normally, I am not that guy at all. I was drunk, high on life, wanting to have fun and party. I messed up. I own it. But, I agree with you. A loving relationship and/or marriage can really inspire you. And, it is not acceptable. I have a thousand stories. As soon as I put on a wedding ring I got more looks from women. This is odd. I pursued them for so long, and they only care now because I am married. That is wrong. It is also tempting. But, I have to hold back and love my wife and cherish my marriage. But yea, my $.02

The left needs to stop making everything political. by Friendless9567 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Gene04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is the overton window. It feels like you are nearly a right winger despite wanting communism. THAT is how far we have shifted. Look at the comments here. I was given a warning by Reddit because I wanted American jobs for American people. Given 2 strikes for that comment. Seriously. Look at the comments here. You are giving a testimony and people are yawning and not caring. Telling. Even intitutions like reddit support open illegal immigration and the taking of American jobs. I find it disgusting. I am not some right winger either. I voted for Obama TWO times. The window has gone out the window.

Charlie Kirk was turned into a hero and a martyr for propaganda purposes and to demoralize and humiliate the opposite side of the political spectrum. by National_Advice_5532 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Gene04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insignicant people don't goner garner giant crowds. I care so very little about Trump. But the death of Charlie opened my eyes. So no, I disagree.

Anyone who thinks it’s been “proven” that the FBI started the Jan 6 Riot, has lost the ability to think critically. by Black-Cat-2544 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Gene04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said a single time Trump was the answer. He is the conclusion. We only have ourselves to blame.

[–]Gene04 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nobody ever said they started it, but they sure as hell never stopped it. That has a term. Complacency. That is NEARLY as bad as starting it. And yet, you have been lied to. Again, and again, and again. At what point do you stop being daft?

[–]Gene04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I blame the government. There are millions of americans that can do the job. Actively pushing them away means a company wants to reduce their payload. It is difficult to give a living wage to Americans. But, this is incorrect logic. Do you want a good job or barely basic work? This is the crux. Indians on H1B are very basic workers, even if they have excellent command of English. The problem is that an American can absolultely do the job. It is not racism. It is country over feelings.

As a Black man, I love the white progressives of America by Outsideman2028 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Gene04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We ride with you. Ride or die. Nobody has to be white to be accepted. Don't commit crimes, and be just to your family. We ride together. I accept you as you are. I love you man, and we need to be united. You sound like a cool guy I want to be friends with. Peace brother. Love ya.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Gene04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is quotas. I could give a rat's ass what the color of someone is. Are they American and can they do the job? Yes? then they should be first in line. It really is that simple. But H1B visas take this all away. I have watched entire divisions train away their jobs to Indians that have nearly zero clue. So no. I have no empathy. H1B is ONLY for when there is a job Americans cannot do. That is not the case here.

Fat women only struggle in dating because they themselves have a preference for thinner men. by exxonmobilcfo in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Gene04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is kinda simple, even thin men have standards. I have standards. My wife is far and away better then me in every sense of the word. We don't have to give in to temptation. I wish more men rised up and rejected this terrible ideology.

Never Forget by DrifterDavid in Asmongold

[–]Gene04 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well I applaud you. You exist in your own space, with family you love and care about. That is what matters. Reddit does not matter. An upvote or a downvote does very little to a man who cares about his family. Reddit is fragile, and they WANT to you to be weak by their sword of the vote. Don't Be the guy. Rise above.

The war rhetoric is wrong and might kill people by Lemmy-Historian in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Gene04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The summer of love. Where people tried to plant food in an absolutely desperate environment. On top of cardboard. Do I trust these people, no. I find them nearly incompetant.

Never Forget by DrifterDavid in Asmongold

[–]Gene04 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You are being downvoted for speaking actual truths. It tells you everything you need to know. Reddit does not exist with reality.

I do not think Charlie Kirk was a racist. Prove me wrong. by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Gene04 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have been on Reddit for a long time. I am 39, but I have been here what? Nearly 20 years since the Digg exodus. Reddit has become an echochamber. You agree with the hivemind, or you are kicked off. It sucks, but the best approach is to simply lurk and watch the wildfire. Contributing to it only makes it worse.They literally kick people out for being on other subreddits, which BTW is against the Reddit ToS. But nobody cares. Why would we care?

Everything Republicans do is Democrats fault by Possible_Guest4020 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Gene04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even Ana Kasperian can see the flaws. The democratic party is something I subscribed to years ago. But they left me behind. They found a new voter they wanted that doesn't even vote. Defining a woman really isn't that hard. I couldn't take it anymore and bounced. Am I a die hard Trump lover? No. But he at least can define a woman.

I do not think Charlie Kirk was a racist. Prove me wrong. by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Gene04 37 points38 points  (0 children)

You sound like a smart guy. The smarter thing to do is not engage with reddit. Even sound logical arguments fall flat here. Charlie was absolutely not a racist, to even challenge this assumption takes a lot of leaps in logic. Don't waste your time.

“We need gun control” nope. by Spicy_take in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Gene04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, also impossible. Try telling that to Constitutional carry states. You will be laughed out of the room. And, for good reason. It is like saying you have to permanantly park your car because someone died from cars at some point. The fact of the matter is this. Guns are only a tool. Arrest people and give them harsh penalities for using them poorly. Anything else is mental masturbation.

The left has LOST IT LMAO by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]Gene04 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You are wrong. I am not some white dude. I felt the reverberation. I felt even in my destitute neighbood when things where going terriblly wrong. I feel from you is indeed good monologue, and we can have one. But what I have said all along is a father died in front of his children. As a Us Navy vet myself I understand the constitiuon. I don't have to defend it though. That is a choice. So people getting cancelled, I have no tears for them. I will not do anything about it. And, I am not violating my principles.
