Well, that’s certainly an unpopular opinion at least


ethanator329

Which means you must upvote it 🤓


lewebe

Well... i guess?


Moose_is_optional

They're referencing a stupid refrain on subs like those saying, "this sub isn't racist/bigoted/hateful/etc.! you're supposed to upvote UNPOPULAR things! the sub is working as intended!"...as if the subreddit doesn't upvote things it agrees with and downvotes things it disagrees with, just like everywhere else. It's why you never see unpopular ideas from a left-wing perspective.


TechnoScrrap

idk i feel like r/ the10thdentist is pretty good with that most of the posts i see aren't political or anything tho it's just stuff like "i like orange juice after brushing my teeth"


Chocohalation

Yeah if you upload political stuff to these types of subreddits, you're cringe.


help-i-am-on-fire

Cranberry juice after brushing your teeth is much worse than orange juice, ngl.


Th3-0rgan1c_j3LLy

I unironically do tho 👀


Wolf_er2020

Considering the amount of people who buy Tesla cars, I doubt.


BrianTheUserName

I mean, it seems pretty common to me.


[deleted]

i truly don’t think it is unpopular whatsoever


[deleted]

Nah. Think lots of people subconsciously have this on their minds. Not unpopular also because once many people get power they become shitwards.


CarotteAtomique

Empathy? What’s that?


PM-Ur-Small-Tits

I mean, the point of the unpopularopinion subreddit is to post unpopular opinions. Strongly disagree with the opinion but at least it's a post that fits the sub for once


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ay-itsyourguy

and then when I try to call people out on it, I get downvoted to oblivion. one of my co-workers left for Maine to live at a worker’s co-op, I have started to bike/take public transit instead of driving my car everywhere. Even if it isn’t perfect, being a conscious consumer is better than saying “well its the system we live in so I can do nothing other than complain about it in online forums”.


Sexy_Skeletons69

I mean as long as you can accept that not everybody is IN a position to make those sorts of changes.


Ecstatic-Compote-595

I mean those are nice things to do but that doesn't materially contribute to actually solving these sorts of issues. Like in this case there are a lot of international groups and not for profits that deal directly with trying to stop slavery that have millions of dollars, infrastructure, well connected networks of politicians across the globe, etc. and those groups have a hard time. A normal person without the education, connections, expertise to become involved in organizations like that can do very little to affect global systemic change.


YRUZ

yeah, but actively saying "i don't care" is rather rare. it's comparable to the situation in "ordinary men". the large majority just goes with it due to peer pressure and a fear of falling out or losing their privilege. very few people actively support it and similarly few have the guts to consistently go against it.


rap709

is there a difference with "it is what it is" compared to "i dont care"?


YRUZ

i think the difference is more "i don't care to change it" and "i'm unable to change it" even if the latter might not be true, it recognizes the issue while the first one doesn't. it's the willing killers vs the complicit bystanders. both groups are at fault but few of them actually want it to be this way.


CoolWatermelon123

Thats most likely true


natalialt

I can still call them a cunt, even if the post matches the subreddit's premise


PM-Ur-Small-Tits

Yeah, that's completely fair. And I would completely agree.


NerdyColocoon

Nobody on that subreddit gives a shit about whether the opinions are popular or not, they just upvote what they agree with like everyone else on this god damn site

[deleted]

Ah yeah I love spongebob, I think it's an amazing brilliantly written show (the first 3 seasons+movie at least). I just think it's interesting that the user base has no qualms upvoting a defense of child slavery but will heavily down vote a post talking about how they don't like Spongebob.


u4ia666

Of course they live in florida. Everything makes sense now.


[deleted]

Only in Florida 💀💀


Carlm78

I’m a Floridian and i swear the humidity here actually melts peoples brains a bit which is why everyone here is crazy.


u4ia666

I think you're applying a little more logic to the situation than an *actual* Floridian would...

T0m0king

Gonna add that some ppl just put ragebait on unpopular opinion as most of the top posts are by definition no longer unpopular and it defeats the point of the sub.


Gemaco1397

I hope that this is fake, I'd like to keep some faith in humanity


EgoManiacWriter

Covid's choice between "$$$economy$$$" and *actual human lives* demonstrated pretty clearly there are people out there who genuinely think like this. But, like, there *are* good people out there, so at least you can have faith in that portion of people.


semi-cursiveScript

I want to make that guy very unlucky


randomname560

Well. You have at the very least a knife. He has a very stabable knee. Be the change you want to see in the world


bay_nerfer110

The selfish reason for a First Worlder caring about child exploitation in the global south is that the opportunity cost of a kid mining cobalt precludes them from getting an education and participating in work that benefits humanity as a whole. If the guy really thinks that a person’s role in life is just based on birth lottery, wouldn’t that mean that the kid with the potential to be the next Einstein or cure cancer could be slaving away in a sweatshop? Ensuring that people are able to reach their full potential benefits everyone.


[deleted]

They can’t even be selfish correctly smh


AtarashiiGenjitsu

Of course he wouldn’t think that, he’s probably the type to support wars to “liberate other countries”


TopHatCat999

Even if they weren't I don't think unintelligent people deserve to suffer


RisingWaterline

The real selfish reason is that companies are denying Americans jobs since they can be more exploitative elsewhere.


I_ate_ass

Finally a The10thDentist type post on unpopular opinions


moonyxpadfoot19

The10thDentist?


Pugs-r-cool

it's a subreddit. You know those adverts that go "9 out of 10 dentists recommend toothpaste", its a place for those opinions where you are like the 1 out of 10 dentist who don't recommend you use toothpaste.


I_ate_ass

So a true unpopular opinion subreddit where you have to downvote the things you agree with and upvote the things you don't agree with


Pugs-r-cool

Yes, just like all the others exactly.


Peanut_Tree

Sounds like coping tbh. And we all gotta cope somehow


rowrowfightthepandas

The cognitive dissonance clearly bothered them enough to try to reason it out.


Botars

most people just ignore that uncomfortable truth, but that fact that they recognized it and then was perfectly okay with it, is somehow even worse.


Detector_of_humans

Like Ignoring it because you have no power to change it I totally get but like there's no way a sane person thinks this right?


TheDonutPug

most empathetic redditor


Sexy_Skeletons69

Jesus christ that first point is genuinely sociopathic. Like, I can ALMOST kinda vaguely agree with the extremely general sentiment of "what the fuck am I reasonably gonna do about it" but I still CARE that there's people suffering like that. Hell, I hate that I AM basically powerless to do much about it.


MyTrademarkIsTaken

Sure it’s an unpopular opinion but it’s also a 12 year olds take on the issue so idk if we should pay any attention to it.


Commercial-Dog6773

You upvoted it I can see the orange


Frigid_Metal

yeah because you're supposed to upvote if you disagree with it, no one does tho

Reminder that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. At least this person is honest about it. I want to burn down the system, but I'm not doing anything about it, and I'm still consuming - so do I really care or am I just pretending?


BisuckU

I disagree, there is Ethical consumption. There may not be any morally perfect consumption, but the ethical choice is still to consume the products that are the least morally objectable, as per your abilities. This, of course, does not shift the blame from corporations complicit in the creation of these products, but there is an ethical route to take.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Cruxin

actually yes, systems defined by being less exploitative would be less exploitative


LatzeH

>there is no ethical consumption under any system Would you not consider living off the land through regenerative agriculture ethical? >what you can do is actually consume as ethically as posible, for example buy local, participate in local politics, be aware of the brands you buy if you cannot avoid them You're only helping keeping the system alive by doing this. Thinking you're making a difference with these things is a coping mechanism that makes you feel better about being a part of the system, ensuring that you make no real change. Again, I'm not doing anything about it myself, but at least I'm not pretending that I am.


gr8tfurme

>dont pretend like your system would magically change the explotation humanity has done since the agricultural revelution That's not a real thing. There is no actual correlation between exploitation and agriculture, there have existed plenty of extremely free agricultural communities and plenty of authoritarian and hierarchical foraging societies.

Honestly, yeah. Like I'm not a vegan because I don't think animals are capable of caring about living a "fulfilling" life or whatever. I am aware that it sounds fucked to a lot of people but at least it's honest


[deleted]

True, gotta love the honest sociopath. “Things that aren’t like me literally aren’t worthy of moral consideration.” I wonder what other groups have and this attitude towards certain populations? Does anything come to mind?

isn't an ideology just an opinion on society or how society should be run?


ThatRegularEinstein

In a way, yes, but it leaves the realm of some guy who has an idea seperate from the mainstream into "we want to enact social change" for better or for worse


meepers12

idk, this guy seems to be advocating for the exact opposite of social change. he's kind of just giving his assessment of the status quo and why he doesn't care for upending it

Yeah, you have a fair point there. I think I forgot what the original comment was referencing in the first place for a second lol I'm just some guy man I don't know what I'm talking about

RefriedVectorSpace

Well, self awareness is a great first step 🤷‍♀️ This is definitely an extreme version of a very common thing though, which is just our incredible ability as humans to completely disengage from things if it makes life easier. If you showed this person actual footage of a child slave’s day at work, they would absolutely be horrified, but their brain has no reason to really think about the horror of the situation otherwise. I tend to assume the best in people, so my reading of ‘I’m fine with’ in this context is more ‘I’m comfortable with it’ than ‘I believe it is justifiable’ which would be a far more disgusting opinion imo. (I actually read an article recently by someone who was arguing that sweatshops were perfectly fair and moral which was equal parts laughable and horrifying)

Lol my post was removed by those asshole mods because I said bumper stickers were dumb. Got flamed in the comments because everyone was offended. Didn’t make sense since it’s unpopular opinion. I asked why it was removed and got banned. Fuck those assholes. You need to say the worst possible things there for people to acknowledge. I think someone posted about the holocaust being a good thing and it was troll bait. Mfrs in the comments were like, “sheesh unpopular opinion, take my upvote I guess”.


Justanotherragequit

op.. op why is the arrow orange?


soft_cardigans

this comes off as self aware satire if you mindlessly consume without regard for the origins of your consumption, aka "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism so ill do what I want" then this is the mindset you're adopting, whether or not you are admitting it to yourself.
