Unpopular Opinions V6 You know maybe fascism wasn't all that it was cracked up to be - General

[QUOTE=Headhumpy;50737049]What do you mean by this? I could agree with you if you are saying that non-white people have worse problems to worry about (e.g. racial discrimination from white people) so they don't have time to worry about feminism, so to speak.[/QUOTE] yeah man, thats what i meant

I find alternate NSFW tags on Tumblr (stuff like #undertail) to be very redundant. You'd think people who didn't want to see porn would have the NSFW filter turned on. Plus it gets annoying for those who do wanna see that stuff and have to look up more tags than necessary.

I can't find Filthy Frank funny. His voice is enough to make me hate babies.

[QUOTE=xZippy;50761664]I can't find Filthy Frank funny. His voice is enough to make me hate babies.[/QUOTE] He was funnier before he started doing disgusting shit with dead animals and puke. Kinda went too far for me to enjoy it

BoJack Horseman is far and away Netflix's best original show

I really don't like it when writers (specifically ones who write at least semi-serious stories) put so much focus into making characters as likable as they possibly can. It doesn't mean jack shit if they aren't interesting in the slightest.

I don't really find h3h3 that funny anymore

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;50764157]I don't really find h3h3 that funny anymore[/QUOTE] I like it best when he acts like a goof and makes fun of dumb videos, but when he tries to make serious videos it just comes off like he's trying to be the internet police and it's just kinda dumb

Many people have political conversions from left to the right. The number of people who are formerly right and moved to the left are vanishingly small. I think this suggests that one side is more likely to be correct.

Unless it's something like "we should make homosexuality punishable by death, since it's been proven all gays are paedophiles"

[QUOTE=MaximLaHaxim;50764565]There is no incorrect or correct political opinion. It's an opinion.[/QUOTE] By this logic fascism isn't incorrect. It's just an opinion. However, just because one side isn't provably correct by humans doesn't mean that there is no correct position.

It is just an opinion. This is the fate of relativists because once you fall down the hole you can't get out.

My favorite flavor of play-doh is red velvet.

The PSP was/is a massively underrated system. For me, jumping from the GBA to the PSP was mind blowing. Going from 16-bit tier technology to what felt like a portable console was incredible. It really was like a portable PS2 at the time with some games looking just as good as their PS2 counterparts (for example, the first God of War game on PSP). Couple that with the system having some of the best portable games to ever grace the industry like Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and Final Fantasy: Crisis Core I thought the system was massively underrated. Shame the vita.. sort of became what it became.

[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;50764543]Many people have political conversions from left to the right. The number of people who are formerly right and moved to the left are vanishingly small.[/QUOTE] is this based on any statistics

[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;50764878]is this based on any statistics[/QUOTE] No, personal anecdote. I doubt this has been polled, but I would be interested if you can find any. However, I don't think I am alone in noting the (largely) one-way movement. This is hardly the reason for my politics, just something I think is interesting.

Tracer's ass is nothing special.

[QUOTE=The_Funk;50765108]Tracer's ass is nothing special.[/QUOTE] It's all about Genji.

[QUOTE=Mr.Cookie;50755644]Reading novels is incredibly boring, no matter how good the writing is.[/QUOTE] This legitimately upsets me.

We Happy Few is a good example that even a "stale" genre for a game can be nice or interesting if effort is put into making it unique. A game being bad doesn't necessarily rely upon the genre itself as much as just how the game plays or is presented.

Gun right activists go on about how no outsider truly understands gun culture in the US because they're not a part of it, and use that to shut off opinions that run counter to theirs. Yet these same people criticise movements like feminism and BLM even though, by their logic, they have no place expressing their opinions on these matters because they're not female or black.

Let's make a really stupid example: "You don't understand ISIS because you're not a part of it"

[QUOTE=IrishBandit;50764924]Conservatism is a decrepit ideology that belongs in the bygone age that it seeks to return us to.[/QUOTE] But conservatism is just about keeping things the way they are (or have been). What's progressive today will be conservative tomorrow.

[QUOTE=Kljunas;50766074]But conservatism is just about keeping things the way they are (or have been).

[QUOTE=Kljunas;50766074]But conservatism is just about keeping things the way they are (or have been). What's progressive today will be conservative tomorrow.[/QUOTE] People like him (from the posts I have seen from him on SH) arrogantly believe that the beliefs that we have in the future are inevitably more correct and better than the past, and therefore believe that there is no logical reason to want certain policies to stay put, therefore his argument that conservatism is a 'decrepit ideology that belongs in the bygone age that it seeks to return us to', because there can only be bad from its aims by default. If future was fascist, conservatives would still be in the wrong.

I don't like carbonation and I don't understand what's so bad about flat soda.

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;50764157]I don't really find h3h3 that funny anymore[/QUOTE] I tried watching him recently and it just went over my head; in one ear and out the other. He seems like a nice guy though so I don't mind

[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;50764909]I don't think I am alone in noting the (largely) one-way movement.[/QUOTE] weird thing to say on facepunch, home of the "rebellious atheist teen pissed off at their parents' conservatism"

[QUOTE=Kljunas;50766074]But conservatism is just about keeping things the way they are (or have been). What's progressive today will be conservative tomorrow.[/QUOTE] Well yes, a progressive from the 40s might be conservative today. Ideally you would continually strive for better and better thinking, rather than finding a rut to root yourself in as the world passes you by.

If future was fascist, conservatives would still be in the wrong.[/QUOTE] The thinking of the past is just that, based in the past, not based in a 21st century level of technology and politics. A lot of thinking from the past is terrible anyway, and the parts that aren't need updates and reforms in order to properly work in the current day. We should not be bogging ourselves down with outdated thinking just because we thought that way in the past. Another reason I say that is because I personally directly oppose a lot of what modern Conservatism embodies (Nationalism, Laissez-faire capitalism, Religiously-influenced government, Rejection of equality, etc.), but that's besides the point.

[QUOTE=FlashMarsh;50764543]Many people have political conversions from left to the right. The number of people who are formerly right and moved to the left are vanishingly small. I think this suggests that one side is more likely to be correct.[/QUOTE] There is no correlation between the amount of people believing in something and said thing being correct. If most people believe the Earth is flat, that doesn't make it any truer. The phenomenon you describe, if accurate, could easily be explained by typical conservatives being more reactionary, typical progressives being more open-minded, or conservatism being more efficient at demagogy.
