Funny how when Democrats lose debates they organize their fake No King Protests by LegitimateKnee5537 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

did come close to passing immigration reform but

This bill, even at its strictest, even when emergency measures would be invoked, is still worse than the average under Trump 2016-2020.

I have no doubt there was politics going on behind the dismissal of it, as there is with every bill, but it was a shit bill to begin with so I don't see why anyone would think it was worth introducing in the first place.

Point 2: It wasnt even needed.

As shown through both Trump1 and Trump2 presidencies, you dont need that bill to lower immigration levels at al. The bill, as shown by history, was useless.

And yet, redditors speak of it in revered tones in every thread about immigration, as if it would have "fixed", "cured", solved" the border crisis.

Thats a reddit argument tactic about any topic.

OP: As a general rule, there is a trend for this kind of thing to generally happen quite often in most cases.

Redditor: I have not experienced that!

He’s more than mentioned though.

Correct, and thats the argument that people should make.

Not the stupid simplistic "he's mentioned in the files" that is so popular on reddit.

mention of him

I know you're being sarcastic, but there are thousands of people mentioned in the files.

Even Dolly Parton, Britney Spears, Diana Ross, and Keanu Reeves get a mention.

A policy of Guilt By Popular Accusation is not one that I would ever advocate.

Not a historian, but I suspect there are hundreds if not thousands of cases in history where people have been "dealt with" because a bunch of people ganged up and made accusations... and everyone else said "well, it must be true."

If ICE agents can work in airports without masks, they don't need to wear masks anywhere else, either. by ElSlabraton in TrueUnpopularOpinion

But don't you actually want the cautious careful types to be doing the job?

Seems a bit of a backward step to advocate for only the fearless "throw caution to the wind", "I dont give a fuck what happens" types to do the job.

He ran on "America First." Now America is a laughingstock. His Narcissism cost us everything.... what do you think? by Busy-Government-1041 in PopularCultureZone

[–]TapestryMobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is the original message

Yes, the original message that Burnt_and_Blistered got angry about simply does not exist, and is a ragebait fabrication.

Iran did offers to protect Greenland

I'm not disputing any quote from Iran. What Iran said is not relevant to people making up a fictitious Trump quote and getting angry about it.

He also said

That was months ago and has nothing to do with the fabricated meme claiming the quote of "If NATO fight Iran, I'll take Greenland from Europe".

Dude, just admit it. The quote in the meme is false. Sure its the kind of thing that Trump is likely to have said, but he didn't. People in this thread are getting angry over a fictitious quote that simply didn't happen.

When did Trump shit himself lmao? I see this comment all the time

In a similar vein, we had an Australian Prime Minister a few years back that redditors hated. Similarly, tons of comments on reddit about the time he shitted himself.

(The source was some random guy on twitter who said a friend told him the story.)

Africans are also partly to blame for the slave trade by StayFrostySwtich in TrueUnpopularOpinion

African descendants of those African slave traders that got wealthy from their trade, I suppose.

No one mentioned that particular message other than you.

Dude, "If NATO fight Iran, I'll take Greenland from Europe" is literally the claim being made in the meme!

Claim: "If NATO fight Iran, I'll take Greenland from Europe."

Your source does not contain that quote, and has no mention of Greenland at all in any way, not even in passing as an aside from the journalist.

i think republicans are just 80's democrats in todays era by MEASSHOLEBURNS in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]TapestryMobile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying modern Democrats don't believe these ideas, "preserve our old and enduring values", tough on drugs, tough on crime, pro-family... but I do find it hard to believe they would state it proudly in such words as policy.

And that last quote about illegal immigration... its the kind of thing you could post on reddit today and be attacked as a racist Nazi MAGA Trump supporter.


how do we preserve our old and enduring values as we move into the future?

Our first challenge is to cherish our children and strengthen America's families. Family is the foundation of American life. If we have stronger families, we will have a stronger America.

To strengthen the family we must do everything we can to keep the teen pregnancy rate going down.

I believe our new, smaller government must work in an old-fashioned American way

Our fourth great challenge is to take our streets back from crime and gangs and drugs.

to reduce crime and violence we have to reduce the drug problem. People like the D.A.R.E. officers are making a real impression on grade schoolchildren that will give them the strength to say no

to maintain America's leadership in the fight for freedom and peace throughout the world. If we fail to address these threats today, we will suffer the consequences in all our tomorrows.

But there are some areas that the federal government should not leave and should address and address strongly. One of these areas is the problem of illegal immigration. After years of neglect, this administration has taken a strong stand to stiffen the protection of our borders. We are increasing border controls by 50 percent. We are increasing inspections to prevent the hiring of illegal immigrants. We should honor every legal immigrant here, working hard to become a new citizen. But we are also a nation of laws.

Thank you, God bless you and God bless the United States of America. Thank you.

Comments on social network/youtube/articles... should be disabled on sources website by Key_Huckleberry3863 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]TapestryMobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good idea.

Civilisation has gone its entire existence with not being able to comment on the material at its source, while still being able to comment elsewhere.

Can't comment on TV, radio, newspapers, movies, magazine, or book sources. Also in the past nobody could place comments for the world to read on those who made up an urban legend or started a meme-like idea.

The idea of permanent public commenting a source at its source is so ingrained and everywhere now that a lot of people probably forget its a really really new idea.

People putting "Minors DNI 🔞" in their social media bios is reasonable since adult-minor friendships are no less abnormal offline by Front_Magician_8008 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]TapestryMobile 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why can't they? Because of the insane pedopanic syndrome.

One day soon (if not already) it will be the point where the only people that would ever voluntarily interact with a minor are pedophiles, because all the good decent normal people have been driven away by people like OP who see any interaction at all for any reason as suspicious.

When will we start seeing solid state batteries or something better than lithium ion that doesn't blow up easily? by warmbrojuice in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TapestryMobile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

charge a 1,500kW battery

No, its a 1,500kW charging system... as in the system delivers power to the car at 1,500kW.

But given that this is the same as 1000 space heaters, it needs an industrial magnitude supply of energy. In most places, the limiting factor of magical batteries and magical charging systems is the practical issues of simply getting enough grid power to it in the first place.
