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/

Can't set foot on public roads etc..?

Damn, this is possibly the most beautifully presented reason for libertarians to be mocked

It would literally mean that they would have to live alone, apart from people coming to them, oh but wait, their land is still within the borders of a country unless they are on some unclaimed island somewhere, meaning that they are always going to have to deal with other people, the local authorities (because if they want to clear fell all the trees etc. in violation of local laws, then they can bet their childish arse it should be stepped on

And they're free to die from an infected cut or something, because the medical treatment they would receive has been built by generations of people who aren't "rUgGeD iNdIvIdUaLs"

"free"...

This is the thinking of a child who doesn't understand that they only eat because their parents aren't as stupid as they are.

There will always be a bigger bully laying claim on any interesting piece of land. See the conflicts in Ukraine, Myanmar, Sudan, Taiwan, Palestine... It doesn't mean their claim has any moral basis.

I'm not engaging any further.
