Unpopular Opinions and (Friendly) Rant thread

Not as long as it is only for entertainment posts, but I personally do consider Elon Musk to be an absolutely greedy, selfish, and narcissistic, conscience- and compassion-deprived, enormous hatred- and far right extremism demagogue, and systematic destroyer of democracies, and supporter of the Israeli and Russian governments' imperialistic, and in the first case genocidal, policies, so I think he is a genuinely evil satanic monster, and I don't want our community to promote and spread his political propaganda. 🙏
Yeah, that's a good stance, I'd say.
 
For no reason, I am just taking a mental note of every person in this site that speaks Spanish too.
Me with everyone's countries/timezones and ages to understand the demographics of the community:

Also I'mma just throw in a couple of links for the memes:





^Ideas on societal unification and social harmony







^Ideas on education and conceptual linkage and whatnot













^Ideas on governance

Generally the government of USA and UK be like that, they've had a long history of colonialism, imperialism, exploitation, etc that hasn't stopped yet (which is ironic given that USA fought UK off to get rid of said colonialism, imperialism, exploitation, etc but they ended up inheriting it and treating other countries the same way, currently USA is in a weird mix of interventionism and isolationism)

What the ****?
 
The general sentiment was that they were fighting to get rid of the exploitation of people in the US.(except for... yknow, most of the people)
Yeah... first it was for their own freedom, then it was over whether slavery should be retained or abolished, then it was over maintaining democracy across the world (even if it meant propping up dictators, as long as they supported the US), and now it's pretty much to retain the #1 spot in the world as both an economic superpower and military superpower (hence why they're trying to undermine Russia and China, though those two countries are in no way innocent either what with the war in Ukraine and the Xinjiang camps and the matter of Taiwan, but ironically USA AND UK are doing similar actions to maintain their own military power in the Chagos Archipelago)



Hell they're not even giving back the rightful inhabitants' homes as of last year:

"The treaty allows the Chagos Islanders a limited right of return, stating that those born on Diego Garcia are not permitted to return but leaving it open for those from the other islands to do so."
(to clarify, they kicked out and razed down the homes and gassed the pets of 1000+ people since 1973 to make their military base)

In general I just want conflict, subjugation, and overall discrimination and hatred as well as desire for power over others to end at this rate (mostly cause a majority of ongoing geopolitical issues essentially are exacerbated if not outright instigated by said factors) and more or less replaced by peace, mutual aid/support and coexistence, and acceptance and respect or even love for each other as fellow living beings (for now we can support it for humanity, but eventually perhaps it would be possible to extend it to all of life (particularly if we move to stem-cell cultured food), though we can't stop other living beings from harming/killing each other welp)
Basically, as what is evidently an idealistic and hopeful dream that I wish becomes a reality, we should strive to make the world (whether this planet or even the broader universe) better/strive to improve and bring more good to the world for everything and everyone on their terms

(Also cause I'm practically sick of people killing each other (or committing other atrocity crimes against each other) over their differences in general cause let's face it, even if we're different in backgrounds or beliefs or physical or mental abilities we're still fundamentally fellow living beings in the same world)

To put this into further emphasis to highlight how insane the conflicts are for the Middle East by pointing out similarities:





(same original patriarchs and prophets (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Samuel, Job, etc) and similar greetings with the exact same meaning across the Abrahamic religions)
(and to give further context I'm born Hindu but I'm currently an omnist)

(I know there are deeper reasons such as historical conflicts and divides, particularly those due to colonialism like the conflicting McMahon-Hussein Correspondence, Sykes-Picot Agreement and Balfour Declaration where the European colonial countries (particularly the UK, AGAIN, JUST AS WITH AFRICA AND INDIA, PAKISTAN AND BANGLADESH) basically messed up with geographical promises to both the Arabs and Jews and then betrayed both of them and left them to deal with the mistakes the European countries made, as well as the crusades and conquests in the names of different beliefs, but given the similarities in the beliefs and even the cultures within the Middle East it's a tragedy that they are still fighting despite it all)
 
Man why we talking about the ****** origins of conflicts and religious wars and shit? This hardly feels like the most appropriate place to discuss that stuff.

To clarify about debates/discussions about the Golden Rule and how it should be interpreted:

"It is possible, then, that the golden rule can itself guide us in identifying which differences of situation are morally relevant. We would often want other people to ignore any prejudice against our race or nationality when deciding how to act towards us, but would also want them to not ignore our differing preferences in food, desire for aggressiveness, and so on. This principle of "doing unto others, wherever possible, as they would be done by..." has sometimes been termed the platinum rule."

Ideally in general we should strive to make everything's and everyone's conditions/states of existence/lives better as per (in the case of everyone's lives) their wishes by bringing more positivity and good/help to others
Conversely we should also strive to avoid making everything's and everyone's conditions/states of existence/lives worse by bringing negativity and bad/harm to others

Basically a sort of mini rant about why conflicts suck and why we should try to resolve and prevent them in the first place

(though in a way sis vi pacem para bellum/seeking peace by preparing for war also applies but in this case we're trying our best to reduce any incentive for harm to be brought to others or ourselves)
 
bruh what the hell did y'all turn this conversation into? Y'all tryna out-virtue signal each other? Pretty sure political discussions aren't allowed so how about we go back to talking about rap music or whatever. I don't care much about the rap scene but its better than whatever tf this is.

Fair enough
Let's go back to sending memes

(to be fair it's past, present AND future conflicts being mentioned but yeah welp... though political rallies don't exist where I am so oof)

also it's a bit ironic since Antvasima did voice his own opinions but eh:
