The unpopular opinions thread.

While I like to shitpost about "facts end when my feelings begin" SJWs, most people don't truly care for facts over feels. Especially now when information is so close at hand, facts are filtered in a way that helps to confirm a worldview, and people only examine things if enough facts directly contradict it.

It's just that there are some groups of people and ideologies that encourage ignoring reality altogether to maintain a worldview.

Another opinion. The schism between liberals and conservatives isn't really all that big. On issues of social policy, yes there are strong differences for the individual (mostly women). But the fundamental view of the ideal society is similar. Just disagreements in the particulars. Due to the way social attitudes loosen over time, today's liberals are tomorrow's conservatives if one's views stay the same. The people who identify as one of these labels and attack the other as the big ideological enemy are small minded.

It is my personal opinion that people have a deep rooted desire for something to fight. Or a lot of people do.

With most of the major enemies defeated, the only thing left is the other party.

I'm triggered by this post.

a conspiracy doesn't need to be secretive, some of the most effect are the ones everybody knows are blatantly happening but it seems regulators cannot find proof... like price fixing  by utility suppliers so there all the same overall price  just each of them charges a different figure on the standing charge or the tariff price or provides a different discount for certain ways of paying or billing etc, they all end up at the same overall price and thus are all getting the same amount of profit share and its blatantly obvious that there all conspiring to rig the market in the exact same way over "generation and supply costs" in the UK that stuff was going on for nearly 20 years before a whistle blower info dumped straight to the regulator and the fraud office, and even then it was almost disregarded as the source material was of a dubious nature for criminal purposes......

shops do similar things with the basket of goods, each shop charges a different price on the various items so you end up paying the same overall price regardless of which one you shop in... but so far none of them have been done for much because again they don't have the strategy meeting notes to hammer them with.....

there are likely plenty of other open conspiracies out there as well, at least when turpin and co used to fleece people they  had the common decency to wave a gun around and wear a mask, most crooks today weasel around in suits and rob you from video conferences having engaged in conspiratorial efforts with so called competitors ..... 


and instead of any investigative journalism we have shit for brains SJW's bumping gums about how we should all feel white guilt or what some puffed up preening nobody was wearing to attend some bash most of us never heard of nor cared it was happening .... so that could be another conspiracy, one to divert attention and ensure the status quo of the average joe getting fleeced on all sides without ever having a clue it was happening .....

Get out.

Agreed about the music, some of his beats are well done and he has great soulful stuff too. Now as for the super smart bit, true enough I know only what I've heard of him from the media but what I have heard was mostly silly drivel that hardly paints him in a "smart" light. 

Being nerdy and loving video games, anime and geek culture hardly makes someone smart. And the statement "he knows more about politics than people give him credit for" doesn't really say much other than highlighting his perceived ignorance which really doesn't help anyone. Maybe it is after all due to his poor social skills or whatever but that's not much of an excuse is it? 

I am disinheriting you....again...

There is no justice in this world; this lesson is best learned through severe pain. You know what has to be done. Be a good brother. 

I dislike when people wear baseball caps with flat brims and team paraphernalia without actually liking the team or knowing what it means. It's a pet peeve when people wear them as a fashion accessory.

You aren't a Dodgers fan, you can't name 3 famous Dodgers, don't wear the hat. Jackie Robinson and Don Drysdale are rolling in their graves because of you, and Sandy Koufax gives his disapproval in the way only an elderly Jewish man can. I had an experience with a gentleman from Australia wearing an LA cap and didn't know what it stood for, who the team was, or even what sport it was. 

What's sad is the guy was one of the those types that thinks American sports are boring.

I dont like Family Guy and im not a lover of South Park either... ive seen both before though but theyre not really my thing

That being said, I have to respect South Park... kinda the same respect I have for strippers. Like "you have some serious balls" kind of respect... although I guess the balls thing depends on your taste in strippers
The same respect that I have for people who go parachuting and skydiving... doing super scary things id never do like jumping out of a plane or stripping in public or going back to south park just being so blatantly well (because words arent enough). I in no way like the show really (give me a Disney movie over South Park any day), but I kinda have to respect the whole idea of it

Yes I did just use skydivers strippers and south park in the same analogy

So to sum up: I dont like Family Guy or South Park. But I respect strippers... im fairly sure theres a point in here somewhere. Either way its about guts
