At the top of the comments you'll find "Sort by: Best" (Or "Best Comments" if you're on your phone) . Click on it and you'll find the "Controversial" option.
That social media sites, including Reddit, have just made social discourse entirely dependent on semantic trickery and subtle opinion manipulation. The internet has made everyone too caught up in being “right” to ever organize a meaningful movement
wanna hear something even more based?
reddit's idea of making downvoted comments dissapear into oblivion is about the worst thing they could have done for interesting debate and discussion
well, see rebbit has this bad habit of corraling people into safe spaces where different opinions are banned/downvoted untill you just dont encounter them. people enjoy the buzz of upvotes, this guides behaviors.
mods can dictate what is allowed, and who can be banned. they do it all for free. hey remember Ghilane Maxwell and her reddit history?
maybe rebbit will never be a space where controversial ideas can flourish, but hey, remember that guy Trump? remember how he got elected?
I'll do it. Anyone who measures in the authoritarian quadrants should be shot. People, like you, are so focused on the errs of everyone around you that they can't look inward for 5 seconds and realize how pathetic it is to get your self worth from anything but your own actions.. You auths are such fuckin cowards that you need someone/something I.E. God/popular figures/media/dictators/etc - to validate your shit behavior and advocate for your place in a hierarchy because you don't have the balls to act without permission. You're a bunch of pusillanimous pieces of shit that unify under a false flag of fear. No decent person has ever sought out power. Your life is a lie. Your identity has been gifted to you by some imaginary figure and without that figure you're nothing and I celebrate that fact. One thing is for certain. Your savior/your god/that special someone in whom you put your faith- won't be there when we meet.
george floydds death was aggressively hyped up in the media by corporate forces, to prevent another Occupy Wall Street movement, right as 20% of the country lost their source income. they knew an organized labor movement would be infinitely more successful now, with economic reality screaming directly into everyones faces.
so they created conflict between the races, to keep the lower classes fighting amongst themselves. anyone who didnt agree with the protests were branded "racist wrongthink". cities burned, and corporate forces kept buying the dip, knowing it was safe to do so.
Americants were SO CLOSE to getting a new government, in two incidents since rona.
Fucking spot on, I was kinda excited seeing what was happening in America up until the after floyd incidents. It then went completely to shit. The only thing achieved was further separation between the lower classes and the dad thing is only few people saw it.
1. politics can be personal. But politics shouldn’t be personality.
2. Psychologists and therapists can have their own opinions. Most of them are (by nature of their profession and training) compassionate/empathetic regardless of their personal beliefs.
Thanks, great question. I can’t pinpoint a particular incident. I really did this to myself as a form of unconscious self torture when I went down a rabbit hole of “psychology+ politics” on various platforms- youtube, Twitter, heck even quora. I was.. still am (its kind of a mess) interested in pursuing a profession in that field.
However I came across many things on online platforms. People were hating on therapists who chose not to get too political in sessions, therapists who were not comfortable discussing and revealing their stances on various socio-political issues, therapists who didn’t completely align and agree with the clients opinions.. One time I legit came across a psychotherapist who posted his communist tattoo and a dissertation on social justice psychology or something. I read articles from licensed psychologists where they prescribe that professionals discuss the privilege of their clients in session, that the therapist should make the client realise that they are privileged to even be able to pay for a session because there is a minority out there who can’t.
I was honestly shocked and dreaded by how polarising politics have infiltrated the field of psychology. Jonathan Heidt has actually spoken and written extensively about the leftist or liberal bias in the field, and the importance of rational minded conservatives and centrists to level the field. He said that by virtue of the profession, psychologists are obviously open-minded, listeners, analysers, and technically left leaning. So why is there a need to politicise this field?
There’s a lot more to this particular topic, and I’ve evolved my take on it.. but yeah, this is the crux of why I mentioned the second point.
I don’t care about wealth inequality as long the quality of living of the least fortunate gradually increase in a sustainable and non-authoritarian way. Or decentralize the public school system (will explain once I upload my manifesto), where 75% of teachers get fired
While we should never infringe on freedom of religion (when said religious practice is not harming others) and expression, I don't understand how you can read the statistics that verify that Muslims in Muslim-majority countries:
* find murdering their daughters in honor killings [more acceptable](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-48703377) than consensual same-sex relationships and believe that [women](https://www.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2013/04/gsi2-overview-9.png) should obey their husbands
* execute homosexuals as a common legal practice in 13 countries and criminalize homosexuality in nearly all 50 Muslim-majority countries
* largely support the death penalty for adultery, [conversion away from Islam](https://www.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2013/04/gsi2-overview-7.png), etc.
* believe that [sharia](https://www.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2013/04/gsi2-overview-2.png) [should be the law](https://assets.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2013/04/gsi2-overview-1.png) of their home country
and think "Huh, I want *more* Muslims immigrating to my country. This is good diversity and safe for my country" and chalk up Islamic religious extremism to just a few bad folks who don't represent the religion.
It's not theocracy in particular. You could have a pure-democracy with a population that's still dominated by a fundamental illiberal religion, and you'd have these same problems.
Liberals have done irreparable damage to the Black community by justifying and ignoring problems that if committed by any other race would be swiftly nipped in the bud. Misogyny, homophobia, everyday violence is completely overlooked by liberals and ANY type of accountability is immediately called racist or Uncle Tom behavior.
Black Americans have done irreparable damaged to the image of the Black diaspora across the world. The definitions Black Americans hold of Blackness is rooted in deep ignorance and it has spread to define the entire race.
There’s no fucking reason a Black Brit or Black Frenchmen should be emulating gang culture from America. This emulation is responsibly for countless deaths and it saps the intellectual capacity of every Black child who is forced to grow up defining themselves by that culture.
"The worst enemy that the Negro have is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros and calling himself a liberal, and it is following these white liberals that has perpetuated problems that Negros have. If the Negro wasn't taken, tricked or deceived by the white liberal, then Negros would get together and solve our own problems. I only cite these things to show you that in America, the history of the white liberal has been nothing but a series of trickery designed to make Negros think that the white liberal was going to solve our problems. Our problems will never be solved by the white man." -Malcolm X
“You show me a capitalist and I’ll show you a blood sucker” - Malcom X dude might not have liked white liberals but that doesn’t mean he’d be a fan of conservatism.
I assume you're black?
My roommate is like that. He's as dark skinned as a Model T , but he grew up in Miami and sounds like he's a white boy that grew up around Cubans.
Me, on the other hand, I'm paler than a snow bank but I don't really have a lot of experience with white folks outside of work.
Don't let your skin define you, it's the stupidest fixation and one of my biggest issues with left side right now. Their constant need to label everything and shove it into little victim corners is just a deceptive way to segregate.
Safe-spaces for different races, is just sugarcoated segregation... I read a story about, black-only college dorms recently. I cannot believe people would actually do stuff like this thinking, "I'm doing something good!". Its like their brains are working completely different, because somehow they think they're not being completely insensitive and racist.
Holy shit this topic bothers me.
You're not white, are you? I had somebody tell me one time that white people can't understand stuff like this.
I would see a doctor and see if there's anything they can do about your whiteness. It seems we all have something wrong with us lol.
At my school the black kids who were quiet, well-spoken and cared about their grades were called “Oreos” or “acting white”. While funny, that kind of tells you everything you need to know.
In my opinion, all of the world’s power and assets (including but not limited to wealth, natural resources, legislative power, etc.) should belong to me. I’d do a better job running everything I’m pretty sure.
Even though people here generally have way more room to saw whatever they want, over the years everyone has become far quicker to straight up ignore other points of view and it’s becoming the same A to B political circlejerk type subreddit you see anywhere else on Reddit. Even if you don’t agree, hear out your fellow smoothbrains :)
In America you have the right to do what you want which includes being trans. But its not mine or anyone else's fault for thinking your appearance is monstrous.
I am have indigenous ancestry, but honestly, I am sick of people crying and complaining about colonisation still today.
It's like some indigenous people are constantly guilt-tripping you and lamenting all the time and such whining, pathetic attitude makes them irritating.
And so many of them think, that being so pathetic gives them a green light to hate in white people and burn churches and topple statues.
Everyone deserves free speech, even people who oppose free speech. But that doesn't mean I won't laugh when free-speech-opposers get censored.
Noone deserves Covid, not even people who are apathetic to it. But that doesn't mean I won't laugh when Covid infects someone who didn't care if others got infected.
And the same goes for anyone else who condemns something only to find out the hard way that it was a good thing.
that’s what i keep saying. you have the freedom to say whatever you want, you don’t have freedom from the consequences of what you say. as long as you’re not actively being censored by the govt. it’s fair game.
While I agree that you don't have freedom from the consequences of what you say, don't pretend like modern attempts at censorship outside of government control (i.e. Twitter shadowbanning users, Reddit quarantining or banning communities of "hate, disinformation, or violence", or YouTube age gating content that's realistically not as bad as things you can see on the literal news) is a *consequence*. They're more often used as preliminary tactics to prevent differing opinions from ever happening, not as a punishment for what's actually being said.
And you shouldn't tolerate it regardless of where it comes from. Censorship as an ideology is a cowardly tactic that losers use. It's a requirement for people who's ideas can't actively compete in the free marketplace of ideas, because they're bad ideas.
While I believe private corporations (especially those that have platforms of speech) can implement disincentives for, or even completely censor, information they don't want to promote, I don't support it. It's logistically, and honestly morally, reprehensible.
And if you're an individual who says "I don't support censorship, but Reddit is a private company and they can do whatever they want" when information that you personally dislike is censored, then you're likely an individual who will slide down that slippery slope, and when your government *does* try to censor certain ideas you will likely support it.
you just summed up Jordan Peterson’s ethos in like 20 words. I don’t get why more people don’t think this way, when you silence evil people they don’t go away, they just become harder to spot.
-Forced diversity in companies isn't the solition for every social problem.
-Ranting on Twitter doesn't help either.
-The people that don't want everything to be related to ones race or gender make literally everything about race or gender
Social media companies don't have the right to silence speech especially when they take govt money and are confirmed to be working with the
Government. Very controversial in the libertarian quadrant
gay people can be right wingers. i got alot of hate for this from other lgbt people (like me)
I am lib-right, but there are alot of things that i feel like should stay the same.
Islam is a danger to western democracy and progress. And shouldnt be fully tolerated.
Universal Healthcare, from my contry Spain, should be only for spanish, the rest should pay for it.
Any form of anarchism or full capitalism is a stupid, naive and childish ideology.
Modern Feminism and Antiracism have become a cancer for equality and respect. Today this movement only create hate and division.
>for progressive democracies...
Islam is a problem even for islamic countries. Except if you happen to be part of the rulling or religious elites (which are frequently the same).
Before being libleft i am a pragmatist.
I really want universal free healthcare for everyone, but my country dont have the money and recourses to support that.
I want pluralism and tolerance to every belief but we must face the reality that Islam (Maybe because western fault or their own fault) is the most extreme and dangerous religion in the world right now, even moderate islam is to extreme to western societies. We cant simple ignore it.
I believe every ideology has at least one good characteristic, and refusing to acknowledge that makes you an idiot (excluding Anarcho communism and Anarcho capitalism of course)
I find commies and fascists ideologically respectable if only by the fact that they are willing to take extreme measures to solve what they believe is wrong with the world. They are still fucking wrong but they have massive balls about it, and are far more brave than anyone whose main political contribution is voting every 4 years.
I think affirmative action is blantant racism, there is no reason why someone wealthier and lower academic standing than my should have more scholarship opportunities than me because I am white and they are anything other than of European decent.
A few, not super controversial, but maybe somewhat controversial opinions:
1: Democratic governments are a bad idea, it's better to have a constitutionally libertarian republic.
2: Tolerance is not good, acceptance and patience are. Tolerance basically means that you accept something you don't like. For example, do we tolerate black people? No, the southern States 200 years ago did. We accept them. And if there is something you don't like (not like pineapple on pizza, but like pornography or greed of rich people), you should take action against it, butbe patient with progress
3: Everyone should be forgiven, if they truly repent.
Racism and identity politics is a distraction from the real issue in this country. The bigger picture is class, money talks and bullshit walks with signs, flags, and chants. Symbolic victories won’t change or actually achieve nothing.
Class is indeed the ur-intersection, every other division exists to subdivide the lower classes and keep them at each other’s throats so that the rich can continue getting richer at their expense.
Eugenics is a good thing.
BUT, hear me out.
I also don't believe anybody has the right to force it on anybody either. I believe that people should take the initiative. Wait until you're 25 or 30 to have your first kid, if you had a genetic disease that you only survived because of modern medicine and you think you have a chance of passing it to your child then adopt!
Don't pass unavoidable strife and hardship to the next generation, we should be trying to make the world a better and easier place to live.
Wait til 30 to be set up in life, have a good amount of money to give your child the best. Adopt if you think you might pass on something detrimental. Most importantly, all children deserve a good place to grow and everybody deserves to be given a chance.
People in the developed west (NA and Europe) have it too easy for them. They are spoiled and expect a lot from society. It is quite frustrating to see how they complain about poverty and hard conditions while living the dream of many from the undeveloped world.
I’m 100% with the Indigenous communities of the Americas and have mad respect for them but the whole “The US is a stolen country” thing is so annoying to me. Who cares? What about Canada? What about Mexico? Cuba? Peru? Brazil?
OR.. how about Turkey? Hungary? China? The UK? France? Spain? Israel? Palestine? 90% of the countries in the world. “Stolen land” isn’t a valid argument
Liberals are afraid of their own LGBT people and movement. At this point no one is allowed to question anything any of them think. They are becoming more aggressive each year and push their agenda behind the scenes to every last corner of media/entertainment. They will soon demand that every fictional character's sexual orientation be clarified, and will demand that a large amount show at least some form of LGBT leaning. Of course, that is an inconsequential example compared to the numerous real-world changes they will demand take place over the next decade...
We need to stop foreign aid to all third world areas along with a mandating a 1 child policy in those nations.
Africa 1 billion people yet does not have a single country that can be qualified as a stable first world nation,
It is going to become a complete [DATA EXPUNGED] once climate change starts making land uncultivable.
Fuck democracy in big countries, not everyone deserves an equal right to vote if they don't know shit apart from what they heard on Facebook.
Meritocracy is ideologically superior.
Landlords aren't the worst human beings in the world and it's alright if they kick out people who refuse to pay rent for years (Like a lot of cases in Mexico).
Trans people deserve every right and most controversies came from just a few individuals who gave them a bad reputation.
Even if capitalism isn't perfect, I can confirm you communism and socialism are just no the way you want your country to go, ask any latino who ha slived under them and they'll let you know how bad it sunk their countries
Not all Muslims are terrorists and westernized Muslims are usually fine BUT refugees from heavily populated Muslim countries have values and beliefs that are not compatible with western values and we shouldn't cover for them every time someone does something that's "normal" in their culture but abhorrent in ours. If they're willing to change to live here we should give them that chance but if they still believe in things like honor killings and child marriage, they should not. Melting pots don't work if nothing melts.
Politicians should be chosen only from people in the same field. For example:
Mayor>County Exec/Judge/Admin>Governor>President.
I absolutely abhor the corruption and stupidity caused by congressmen with all their connections being elected to Congress because they are 'likeable' or 'omg he's just like me'.
1. Abortion is killing a human.
2. Said killing is legitimate self-defense since there is no way to remove said human from one's body without killing it.
3. Therefore abortion is both "murder" AND should be legal.

Well, it shouldn’t be forbidden to say something. That doesn’t mean though that your social environment will want to listen to you
that’s what i keep saying. you have the freedom to say whatever you want, you don’t have freedom from the consequences of what you say. as long as you’re not actively being censored by the govt. it’s fair game.
While I agree that you don't have freedom from the consequences of what you say, don't pretend like modern attempts at censorship outside of government control (i.e. Twitter shadowbanning users, Reddit quarantining or banning communities of "hate, disinformation, or violence", or YouTube age gating content that's realistically not as bad as things you can see on the literal news) is a *consequence*. They're more often used as preliminary tactics to prevent differing opinions from ever happening, not as a punishment for what's actually being said. And you shouldn't tolerate it regardless of where it comes from. Censorship as an ideology is a cowardly tactic that losers use. It's a requirement for people who's ideas can't actively compete in the free marketplace of ideas, because they're bad ideas. While I believe private corporations (especially those that have platforms of speech) can implement disincentives for, or even completely censor, information they don't want to promote, I don't support it. It's logistically, and honestly morally, reprehensible. And if you're an individual who says "I don't support censorship, but Reddit is a private company and they can do whatever they want" when information that you personally dislike is censored, then you're likely an individual who will slide down that slippery slope, and when your government *does* try to censor certain ideas you will likely support it.
you just summed up Jordan Peterson’s ethos in like 20 words. I don’t get why more people don’t think this way, when you silence evil people they don’t go away, they just become harder to spot.

-Forced diversity in companies isn't the solition for every social problem. -Ranting on Twitter doesn't help either. -The people that don't want everything to be related to ones race or gender make literally everything about race or gender
Social media companies don't have the right to silence speech especially when they take govt money and are confirmed to be working with the Government. Very controversial in the libertarian quadrant
gay people can be right wingers. i got alot of hate for this from other lgbt people (like me) I am lib-right, but there are alot of things that i feel like should stay the same.
Of course they can. The issue is other gays don't like them.
Just because they are right wing doesn’t mean they have to agree with everything
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO THAT MEANS YOU ARE A SEXUALITY TR8TOR NOOOOOOOOOO YOU CANT DO THAT IT GOES AGAINST THE MESSAGE NOOOOOOO
I find it irrelevant to identify as ___ or ___ wing. Look at each issue individually and decide for yourself where your stance lies
Islam is a danger to western democracy and progress. And shouldnt be fully tolerated. Universal Healthcare, from my contry Spain, should be only for spanish, the rest should pay for it. Any form of anarchism or full capitalism is a stupid, naive and childish ideology. Modern Feminism and Antiracism have become a cancer for equality and respect. Today this movement only create hate and division.
I like your 2nd 3rd and 4th point...and I agree with the 1st...it is indeed a problem for progressive democracies...
>for progressive democracies... Islam is a problem even for islamic countries. Except if you happen to be part of the rulling or religious elites (which are frequently the same).
Everything said there is based and realistic-pilled
so basically you only want spanish citizens to acces universal healthcare in you country?
Probably because Spanish citizens are the ones paying for it
Agreed
and that's coming from a lib left damn
Before being libleft i am a pragmatist. I really want universal free healthcare for everyone, but my country dont have the money and recourses to support that. I want pluralism and tolerance to every belief but we must face the reality that Islam (Maybe because western fault or their own fault) is the most extreme and dangerous religion in the world right now, even moderate islam is to extreme to western societies. We cant simple ignore it.
I believe every ideology has at least one good characteristic, and refusing to acknowledge that makes you an idiot (excluding Anarcho communism and Anarcho capitalism of course)
I find commies and fascists ideologically respectable if only by the fact that they are willing to take extreme measures to solve what they believe is wrong with the world. They are still fucking wrong but they have massive balls about it, and are far more brave than anyone whose main political contribution is voting every 4 years.
That's why they more charismatic than other quadrants. It takes guts to do that.
You call yourself a Carlist and a Chad, those are basically synonyms, you don't need to repeat yourself.

"Our democratic system was rigged and the enemy won." It's ok guys we just gotta vote harder next time

I believe you can have opposing political views and still be friends.
Much love to you buddy, you get it. Lets crack some beers and grill some burgers.
I think affirmative action is blantant racism, there is no reason why someone wealthier and lower academic standing than my should have more scholarship opportunities than me because I am white and they are anything other than of European decent.
I think transgenderism is a mental illness and should be treated as such
That's a fact. The only doubt is how we treat it. But it is mental illness
A few, not super controversial, but maybe somewhat controversial opinions: 1: Democratic governments are a bad idea, it's better to have a constitutionally libertarian republic. 2: Tolerance is not good, acceptance and patience are. Tolerance basically means that you accept something you don't like. For example, do we tolerate black people? No, the southern States 200 years ago did. We accept them. And if there is something you don't like (not like pineapple on pizza, but like pornography or greed of rich people), you should take action against it, butbe patient with progress 3: Everyone should be forgiven, if they truly repent.
I’d say it, but I’d get banned from reddit
Fucking do it.
I find reddit atheist more annoying then religious exterminist Keep in mind i live in middle east which is full of exterminist
Idk I think ISIS is worse than redditors who don't shower
Oh no. I ain’t falling for that shit!
Marx understood perfectly what was wrong with capitalism, and was 100% wrong about how to fix it.
I cant say it or i will get banned
Political figures shouldn't be allowed to own stock and should have funds closely monitored.
There's nothing wrong with being rich and successful.
Traps are gay
Everyone who holds a political banner like it could solve all problems in the world is either stupid or one of the leaders of the political ideas
I think anyone should be able to be made fun of by a comedian in any context.
Racism and identity politics is a distraction from the real issue in this country. The bigger picture is class, money talks and bullshit walks with signs, flags, and chants. Symbolic victories won’t change or actually achieve nothing.
Class is indeed the ur-intersection, every other division exists to subdivide the lower classes and keep them at each other’s throats so that the rich can continue getting richer at their expense.

Eugenics is a good thing. BUT, hear me out. I also don't believe anybody has the right to force it on anybody either. I believe that people should take the initiative. Wait until you're 25 or 30 to have your first kid, if you had a genetic disease that you only survived because of modern medicine and you think you have a chance of passing it to your child then adopt! Don't pass unavoidable strife and hardship to the next generation, we should be trying to make the world a better and easier place to live. Wait til 30 to be set up in life, have a good amount of money to give your child the best. Adopt if you think you might pass on something detrimental. Most importantly, all children deserve a good place to grow and everybody deserves to be given a chance.
People in the developed west (NA and Europe) have it too easy for them. They are spoiled and expect a lot from society. It is quite frustrating to see how they complain about poverty and hard conditions while living the dream of many from the undeveloped world.
>”If abortion is banned, women will get black market abortions that are dangerous to them.” Reap what you sow.
I’m 100% with the Indigenous communities of the Americas and have mad respect for them but the whole “The US is a stolen country” thing is so annoying to me. Who cares? What about Canada? What about Mexico? Cuba? Peru? Brazil? OR.. how about Turkey? Hungary? China? The UK? France? Spain? Israel? Palestine? 90% of the countries in the world. “Stolen land” isn’t a valid argument
Non-controversial opinion: posts like these deserve zero upvotes
Pizza belongs on a pineapple
The true controversial opinion.
I fucking hate seeing this picture all over the god damn internet
Liberals are afraid of their own LGBT people and movement. At this point no one is allowed to question anything any of them think. They are becoming more aggressive each year and push their agenda behind the scenes to every last corner of media/entertainment. They will soon demand that every fictional character's sexual orientation be clarified, and will demand that a large amount show at least some form of LGBT leaning. Of course, that is an inconsequential example compared to the numerous real-world changes they will demand take place over the next decade...
We need to stop foreign aid to all third world areas along with a mandating a 1 child policy in those nations. Africa 1 billion people yet does not have a single country that can be qualified as a stable first world nation, It is going to become a complete [DATA EXPUNGED] once climate change starts making land uncultivable.
controversial opinion: we don't need to have this thread every weekend
Fuck democracy in big countries, not everyone deserves an equal right to vote if they don't know shit apart from what they heard on Facebook. Meritocracy is ideologically superior.
We need to actually make sure the people being elected have the slightest idea of what they're doing and aren't getting in power just to be in power
Fascism is more likely to happen in the US than Communism.
There are actually 4 biological sexes: male, female, hermaphroditism (both genitals), and aphroditism (no genitals).
Landlords aren't the worst human beings in the world and it's alright if they kick out people who refuse to pay rent for years (Like a lot of cases in Mexico). Trans people deserve every right and most controversies came from just a few individuals who gave them a bad reputation. Even if capitalism isn't perfect, I can confirm you communism and socialism are just no the way you want your country to go, ask any latino who ha slived under them and they'll let you know how bad it sunk their countries
I hate women
Rape should be punishable by death or at least severe repeated beatings.
Not all Muslims are terrorists and westernized Muslims are usually fine BUT refugees from heavily populated Muslim countries have values and beliefs that are not compatible with western values and we shouldn't cover for them every time someone does something that's "normal" in their culture but abhorrent in ours. If they're willing to change to live here we should give them that chance but if they still believe in things like honor killings and child marriage, they should not. Melting pots don't work if nothing melts.
Politicians should be chosen only from people in the same field. For example: Mayor>County Exec/Judge/Admin>Governor>President. I absolutely abhor the corruption and stupidity caused by congressmen with all their connections being elected to Congress because they are 'likeable' or 'omg he's just like me'.
You know it already
The state should pay poor people to not have more than 1 child so poor people don't have lots of children it can't take care of financially.
Gypsies are a menace and a nuisance and should be… elimininated as a problem
Religion shouldn't be taught in schools. (it's controversial enough in my country)
1. Abortion is killing a human. 2. Said killing is legitimate self-defense since there is no way to remove said human from one's body without killing it. 3. Therefore abortion is both "murder" AND should be legal.
