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.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

The fact that you've got sooo many downvotes proves that what you're saying is intolerable to many..
I think you're fundamentally right, that the left is assuming that the right obeys group-pressure the same way that the left does and that is a bogus assumption.
Social-assertion can't derail the complete-national-highjacking that's being carried out in the US.
But the left can't understand that: it's unthinkable.
As I've said before, elsewhere, effective pressure, would be using private-investigators to build evidence of authority-criminality, then hiring lawyers to prosecute ( because establishment NEVER allows accountability against itself: it'll NEVER prosecute its own crimes ) the crimes that cases can be built solidly for.
Not mass-social-assertion.
Getting convictions would be the kind of pressure that would have had a chance at changing the outcome of this.
Trump's rule will result in destroyed Americas by the early 2030's.
So long as NOBODY ever gets to be important like him, then that's his "high-score", it's "how he won".
There are 3 categories of game:
All the people who're presuming that only the Zero-Sum game motivates everyone, are half of the problem: they're incompetent at understanding the motivations of other players in our world's game!
As "John Braddock" stated, in the book "A Spy's Guide to Strategy", IF someone's playing a negative-sum game, & destroying you AND them is the intent, AND you are presuming some other-category of motivation in them, THEN you're incompetent in understanding or dealing-with them.
You don't understand their strategy, therefore you are incompetent in understanding your-own strategy's actual options.
Trump's playing mixed zero-sum & negative-sum game: so long as nobody significant lives after him, then he won. The greater the destruction, the higher his score.
The left can't understand that, & therefore they keep playing by rules that are figments-of-their-own-imagination, and NOT actual.
Which, of course, obliterates more & more & more of the remaining-opportunity, until it's all gone, & mass-butchery's being enforced.
Status-quo doesn't protect us from what they're doing: it will fail, in a tipping-point, soon.
