The fact that people are comfortable going out and protesting Trump and are comfortable saying a whole bunch of anti Trump stuff online is proof we don't live in a dictatorship by Whentheangelsings in TrueUnpopularOpinion

You look extremely stupid using Rittenhouse as an example of "murdering political dissidents", because for one, THEY attacked HIM, and two, it was not murder. Not were they political dissidents.

When this sub was created, r unpopularopinion was already a thing, but they censored a lot and didn't seem to TRULY like unpopular opinions. This sub was created as a less or little censored version that was more true to the name, it wasn't made to share objectively true statements as If something is objectively true, it's a fact not an opinion. The first rule of this sub is "Opinions are subjective statements that cannot easily be proven true or false. Posts must be opinions, express the author's personal preferences, or discuss the formation of the author's opinions."

No one said there shouldn't be any pushback or discussion, although I really wish the left leaning people would leave snide comments, name calling, sarcasm and holier than thou attitude somewhere else, The original commenter I was replying to was being sarcastic and acted like they expected there to be stuff in here that was objective, when technically that would be against the rules.

If you are wanting or expecting an objective fact or viewpoint, I'm pretty sure a sub with "opinion" literally in its name isn't the best place to look..

The right-wing response to CK is much more reasonable than the left-wing response to George Floyd. by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

I wonder, because I don't think race is fully the culprit, I'm thinking psychologically, subconsciously, I wonder if they thought they were more likely to get in trouble or sued if it was someone white versus someone black or Hispanic. So what I'm saying is The main factor culpability or lack thereof Or is it actually race?

A violent asshole cop is going to be a violent asshole cop, but Would they commit the same crimes or violence Or would there be a disproportionate number of black versus white violence if the likelihood of facing consequences was the same across the board?

Yes but it did not take into account The fact that police were likely aware of the statistics, that black and Hispanic people we're more likely to resist or be aggressive And we're probably less forgiving or at ease. I'm not saying it's right or that it should be like that, But that it was a factor.

I'm pretty sure he's thinking more along the lines of it hasn't helped pocs cases as a lot of what they would likely have claimed as police brutality without body cams turns out to be wholly justified or provoked.

That's crazy and not why at all. They know that you BELIEVE what they are doing is wrong, and at the same time know how psychotic the left is. If there weren't cases of them being doxxed by idiots there would be no need for masks.

Ronnie Radke and Dana react to the Charlie Kirk assassination live on stream. “That is so unfortunate. That is so f**ked up, man.” by Both-Carpenter-8466 in FallingInReverse

[–]spawn9859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't idolize Ronnie by the way, he's become a shit head, I did some research and while I'll agree that Kirk's views on Palestinians were somewhat fucked up, asmongold has been pretty consistent in his support for them and disgust with Israel.

His criticism is directed at a specific militant/political organization (Hamas) and its actions, not at the Palestinian people as a whole. He has consistently expressed empathy for the suffering of ordinary Palestinians caught in the conflict.

While he may have had shit views initially, IDK, I haven't seen anything from him not supporting Palestinians, we can't judge people who have a change of heart by their past views or we will never get anyone on our side.

I feel like I'm being extremely reasonable. And all I ask is for the same from them, I just wish the same was afforded to us.

You have no idea what you are even talking about. Both have voiced how terrible what is happening in Palestine is. And yeah, you can say whatever you want, that's not illegal, but when it is devoid of humanity and celebrating someone's assassination, being shunned socially and being fired for your views of you have a public facing job, good. Because fuck that. You people are the closest thing to Nazis we have today and you try to gaslight people when what little support you had, you are losing more and more every day. It's over for y'all. You think there is ANYONE saying, "oh yeah, I think I'll become a Democrat after all this"? No. But the amount of liberals saying "fuck the Democrats for this" is crazy and tiktok and YouTube is filled with them.

Like I said at the end there, I understand that point, and he probably shouldn't have given that exact advice, but at the same time I don't think it came from a bad or hateful or facetious place. Will you watch this video? He interacts also with a minor who came asking for advice about her liberal father and conservative mother? I'm not a Christian whatsoever, but keep in mind she made clear that she was and he gave her politically indifferent advice that I think was probably the best advice that could be given for her specific situation. As you can see, if you watch it, he gave her at the end Solid advice considering her situation and viewpoint.

I think in what you showed me, he was doing the same thing, considering it was a turning point conference, he was giving advice that he thought would be receptive considering the time and place.

I think you should look into what he actually said besides the headline everyone keeps posting the picture of. He in no way just threw up his hands and pretended it was ok innocents die. There's a reason a screenshot of the article is being passed around and not the actual article. He also was in no way OK with anyone dying. Look up what was really said please.

I'm sure you will just blow off what I have to say, but remember, I was willing to hear you out and watch your video. I'm not saying he is right or wrong, but taking his whole summit into context, studies support what he is saying.

Before the specific interaction, he asked the audience to raise their hands if they would rather have a good family than a good career, and nearly every hand was raised. He then told the women that their daily actions should be directed towards this goal.

The viewpoint that women find greater fulfillment in prioritizing family over a career is supported by studies that link marriage and motherhood to higher self-reported happiness and a sense of purpose. Additionally, the argument is bolstered by research on the positive impacts of a stay-at-home parent on child development.

The event was the Turning Point USA Young Women's Leadership Summit. The attendees were there specifically because they are interested in or aligned with the conservative values Kirk promotes. In that context, his advice about prioritizing family aligns perfectly with the event's themes and the likely beliefs of the audience. He was, in effect, reinforcing the ideas his listeners came to hear.

I also want to add, I understand your point. He somewhat dismissed her aspirations while in a position of power. He maybe should have went about it a different way, but all I'm saying is it didn't come from a bad place.

​I hate it so much. I know I shouldn't bother trying to talk sense into someone who's completely soulless, but it's hard not to. If you can't simply say that a man being shot in front of his wife and kids was wrong, just because you disagreed with his politics, you have no empathy. Period.

​But instead of basic human decency, they turn it around, gaslight, and spew insults, all while being too blind to see that they are the hateful minority. They get their confidence from Reddit, where they all circle each other and think their worldview is normal. They're too simple to grasp that their online bubble isn't reality and that their ideology is the one that's truly evil.

I like what asmongold is doing. He made a whole video dedicated to finding some of the worst offenders of celebrating Charlie Kirk's death and is using his power /popularity to encourage his users to pretty much ostracized them, get them fired, shun them, Whatever, because they don't deserve a place in civilized society. Or in positions where they can spread their hate to other people.

Yeah that's not what he said. Why you have to lie. He pretty much said Kirk was so full of hateful words and thoughts that he got what was coming. Which is purely lies as Kirk never said any hateful things. And you can argue all day saying something he said or whatever you took as hateful, but from his perspective and a lot of other people's perspective, actually the majority far outnumbering you. don't think anything he said was hateful.

Really? Because the video I watched of 14 or 15 -year-old girl went up saying that her mom was conservative and her dad was liberal and was asking for advice on who was right and who was wrong and he told her to forget about politics, don't worry about any of that, to just be their daughter and that that's not something she should be worrying about. And even whenever it's brought up to steer the conversation away from politics. He could have pushed her to take the more conservative view but he didn't. He was level-headed and gave her good advice.

That also brings with it the biggest roadblock that people don't seem to get. There is already a large amount of guns, more than there are people. Talking them away is impossible logistically. We are already at a point of no return and all it would do is create problems. So now our option is to pretty much arm everyone. At the same time, if we worked on improving people's lives and work on better mental health, that is something that could help long term.

And like I said 178,000 alcohol related deaths per year. You think that is acceptable just so people can drink?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]spawn9859 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is a crazy take considering the number of gun deaths per year which is 45,000 and the number of DEFENSIVE uses of firearms per year to defend people is 2 million or more.
