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 doesn’t 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/

This is the future of humanity. It is only going to get worse. Look at everthing technology has touched- there’s little realism left in anything anymore. Artists will be replaced by AI, musicians will be replace by AI, and there will be next to no depth left in anything.
Bleak as fuck. Glad i at least remember before things became…..
… this.
Humans must look perfect to hide the effects of slavery (paid work)
Paid work is not slavery.
Yes it is
The fact that you could suggest something so ignorant and thoughtless gives me all the reason I need to block your ignorance from my feed.
Go read a book about slavery, how it’s defined, and how it has affected the culture of entire races of people.
Then come back and delete your comments in shame.
Why would I read a rich man's book on slavery?
Working for money is slavery, because if you stop working you'll die on the street. They use money like a carrot
So… you’re one of those people that want things handed to you. I get it.
We’re done talking now.
Pardon me?
Or...read legal definitions instead of some random book.
Slavery has nothing to do with money, it's the practice of forced labor and restricted liberty. It is also a regime where one class of people - the slave owners - could force another - the slaves - to work and limit their liberty.
You can 100% give a pittance to a slave in the form of currency and have it still be considered forced labor. You should block yourself for being so arrogant and short sighted to think that slavery has anything to do with money.
Slavery is about limited/restricted or no liberty and forced labor.
Do you seriously think, that is some company forced you at gunpoint to work for them while giving you $0.01 a day means it's not slavery?
Get over yourself..
It’s not slavery if you have a choice. So no, I’m not going to “get over myself.”
Maybe you should learn what nuance is and stop polarizing every issue you come across.
TIL FORCED labor is a choice...
Try reading
So…. People should just give you things for free???
ROFL. Communism is hilarious.
Blocking you now. I have that freedom because I’m not a slave.
Byeeeeeee!
Good, saves me from having to block you. Glad you're open to any form of discussion instead of dismissing the world because 'only your views are accurate'
Go touch grass kid.
