Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesnβt provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

But the europe is working on adding abortion to European Convention on Human Rights. Ie europe as a whole is self organising to effect such things as a whole. The people in spain can protest for that and expect some level of success. It would seem that europe as a whole can better self organise and take responsibility for their misguided members than the USA can of its states.
I think the way u see it is a coping mechanism so you dont have to take any responsibility for any of the bad shit that goes on in other states. You personally should feel responsible and guilty of the shit that your countries extremists are doing in government not just give up and put it in the not my state not my problem basket. Go to the friggin capital and protest to the federal government dont wash your hands of the mess and shift blame.
Hell the trumpians stormed the godamn capital to protest what they beleived in. You and your beleifs have simply given up and called it an issue with other states. You live in a godamn democracy you dont like how things are change them you as an individual have the "god given right" to complain to protest to run friggin propaganda campaigns to shout at every street corner go change the world dont just sit in ur cushy little state and blame other people for your countries failures.
I think I'll do just that. Fuck the South. They can all burn and die of measles. You can't fix in bred-in-evil of the South from California or DC. So fuck em. I hate them. Lincoln should have let them keep the fucking Confederacy so I could watch their third-world hell not suck all my tax dollars into a trailer park of despairing losers with greasy Klan hoods.
Sadly, I just need a couple states to vote blue because our idiotic electoral college system.
Damn u really are mad. And rightly so but yeah the world not just america needs more blue states cos fuck me trump is a pig.
You seem to display a very coastal-centric ignorance, why don't you come hang out in flyover country sometime, help us turn it blue. Afraid you might like it?
Afraid I'll get lynched.
My worthless family is from there and they're all a bunch of racist, ignorant, homophobic parasites that bleed the country of resources, culture, and intellect into a bucket they kick to the floor just like that area always has and always will.
The big cities might be coming around, sure but those states are burning red and can stay burnt. Anyone of interest has left or will leave to places that actually matter and anyone who stays is buying in or selling out.
It sounds like you have a lot of unresolved family trauma and are projecting those feelings onto an entire geographic region. My whole family is from rural Ohio and they're some of the most ardent leftists I know. Believe it or not, people and societies are complex and often do not fit the stereotypes you've been taught. I quite like my home, even if you think it doesn't matter.
Nah, I'm just a student of it's history and a victim of the political and social poison leeching out of it. I barely know my family, happily. But if you like it so much, rest assured you can keep it.
