The unpopular opinions thread.

I hella fucking hate it when people use the word "edgy". I hate it so goddamn fucking much. It says so much about someone when instead of responding with calm, coherent, and well-reasoned arguments, they resort to abusive insults and put-downs, because they don't have the intellectual honesty, open-mindedness, or even intelligence to consider viewpoints that a majority of society disagrees with, so they must shut you down for being different. I'm about to go all political. But I won't use the word "edgy."





Donald Trump is a goddamn fascist. I'm not speaking allegorically or metaphorically at all, he is a fucking fascist. Fuck anyone and everyone who supports him for whatever reason. Hillary Clinton is a sociopathic corporate shill and warmonger.



But I would rather have a bourgeoisie shill and warmonger who can play politics and actually knows what they are doing and has some ounce of self-awareness and intelligence, than a fucking rapist and fascist with Cheeto-hair.





1984 and Brave New World are so hella accurate that George Orwell and Aldous Huxley are rolling over in their graves.




I've often found that over 90 percent of the time, whenever someone talks shit about Socialism or Communism, they know absolutely nothing at all about Socialism or Communism, and act like they are such fucking intelligent and enlightened people who can see through the propaganda and bullshit, even though they themselves aren't very intelligent and just regurgitate Capitalist and bourgeoisie propaganda that they heard when they were in Elementary School, and don't bother to do 10 fucking minutes of research. They aren't very introspective or deep-thinking people, they vomit up propaganda and pure ideology that they never question, like tools, while simultaneously proclaiming that they are immune to propaganda and ideology.





Libertarians are just Conservatives who are too cowardly to admit that they are Conservatives, and think they are so progressive just because they like weed.




9 times out of 10, whenever someone claims they are a "straight shooter", they aren't at all a straight shooter. They are goddamn right-wing lunatics and crypto-fascists who claim they can see through the propaganda and ideology and bullshit, when they are the ones most enveloped in it, and are often sexist, racist, transphobic or douchebags in general.





I'm not a fan of "Classical Liberals". They claim to value individual freedom, but only when it suits them. They have no problem with oppression and exploitation, or having the "freedom" to deny other people their rights, or oppress other people using your "rights". 9 times out of 10 they are crypto-fascists.

Some posts have been moved to the Wrongthink thread.

Yeah, I suppose we would be good to have around!   Having spiders around doesn't bother me and I have no problem catching them and putting them outside.

I need a red Batphone (Spiderphone???) with a line direct to not-scared-of-spider-people... because I just freak out... if theres one in my bedroom ive slept on my couch for weeks before even when I knew the spider was gone... and ive been known to ring my mom if it was a big one   just cant cope with them BAH *shudders*

EXACTLY! I try not to hurt spiders when I see them, I like that they're a good defense againse my nemisis insect...the mosquito.   I frickin' hate mosquitos!

They are fast, I must admit, I understand your concern. There are places you don't want a spider crawling. 

So do frogs and bats. Biggest difference between them and spiders are that they aren't constantly trying to break into my house. 

I don't like Star Wars.

Spiders are allies in the war against the real enemy: flies. Seriously, fuck flies.

Any accord I could have had with spiders went by the wayside after their flagrant violation of the Stay-the-Hell-Away-From-My-Face-While-I'm-Sleeping Treaty of 1998. Now I rely only on my oldest and most trusted partnership with the Grand Republic of Rolled-Up Newspapers.

Alright confession time, i like Godzilla 2014, and It's my favorite incarnation of big G.

Jumping spiders are the best, I have one that runs around my hall and bathroom area. I officially named him Hops.
