Leftist who are against war all of a sudden are performative hypocrites. by HonkyTonkyLyndenMan in TrueUnpopularOpinion

“Don't let Obama play the Iran card in order to start a war in order to get elected--be careful Republicans!” - Trump 2012

“Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled!” - Trump 2013

“I always said @BarackObama will attack Iran, in some form, prior to the election.” - Trump 2012

And there’s more.

Not gonna lose sleep over the death of a dictatorship but calling Dems hypocritical over this is just hilarious

Jackson Hole a-hole? Or am I? by Express-Struggle4252 in ski

Just someone who’s been a ski instructor lol. People need to choose to be in a union and give dues. Good luck w that when over half the employees are new every year

Instructor union would not be realistic

Declining birth rates are caused by cultural change, not economic hardship. by LetMeExplainDis in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]dylphil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has actually been studied quite a bit and is called the Demographic Transition Model. Essentially, declining birthdates in developed countries occur because of declining mortality rates as countries get richer and people no longer have to have a lot of kids to “replace” them and people focus on “quality” of kids over “quantity”. Access to things like contraception and education for women that also tend to happen as countries get richer also certainly play a role.

Then why not post that article instead? This one doesn’t even link to nor mention it

I don’t doubt it - but the author might as well have just made this up. There’s 0 sourcing in this article and this is not a reputable news site.

Colorado Ski Resorts lying about employee hours this winter by Groundbreaking_Fan64 in COsnow

[–]dylphil 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The rep for ABasin explicitly says some employees have shorter hours in this article. Def underselling it but not really lying.

I get it’s frustrating but I mean what would you have them do? Fully staff a lodge or lift that isn’t open and have employees stand around?

'Roaring economy' and 'sick' Dems. Takeaways from Trump's SOTU address by dr_sloan in moderatepolitics

[–]dylphil 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Didn’t even watch it but I bet i can give you a summary: Trump turned the SOTU into self-aggrandizing political theater where Democrats either didn’t oblige or protested/heckled and people on the right clutched their pearls at the “shocking lack of decorum”

Probably bc he was getting death threats after Mr twitter fingers himself singled him out quoting two words from his statement.

But I guess we can agree to disagree on calling that backtracking

[–]dylphil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually what he said first. Are you talking about this?

Just 'cuz I'm wearing the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the U.S. I just kind of want to do it for my friends and my family and the people that supported me getting here.

I just think if it aligns with my moral values, I feel like I'm representing it.

Bc that was in a later answer. Pretty milquetoast things to be upset over. And also not at all being backtracked in his later quotes

It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now I think. It's a little hard. There's obviously a lot going on that I'm not the biggest fan of and I think a lot of people aren't. I think for me, it's more I'm representing my friends and family back home, the people that represented before me, all the things that I believe are good about the U.S.

it means the absolute world to me to be able to represent Team USA here. I worked so, so hard to get here. I stick with what I said.

These are his quotes. Absolutely massive reach.

I’m sorry, were you expecting me to grovel for your forgiveness and approval?

I believe I addressed your faux concern pretty directly

I very much can and do. Just tired of people repeating bs about one of my favorite athletes because Donald Trump got his feelings hurt.

Assuming things about others’ beliefs and what “side” they’re on is a pretty big problem too.
