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/

MODERATORS
A hunter-gatherer society that hasnt developed modern markets isn't an ideological stance. Now elders fight for property rights, run land councils, and take mining royalties. When they start a business they want returns on that investment same as everyone else. Capitalism allows any form of economy to function under it. You can start a socialist business or run a communist town. Its just that capitalism solves a lot of the problems with the least downside.
The government requires people to pay taxes. The pastoralists who stole Aboriginal land now charge money for the food grown on that land. Native plants and animals are going extinct because of the for-profit mining companies' pollution. Sacred sites are bought and sold, access to songlines is locked behind property ownership. During the invasion, Aboriginal warriors who tried to enforce the local law on the illegal immigrants were murdered, their corpses desecrated.
Capitalism has been a disaster for Aboriginal nations, and there is no opting out. You can't just go bush to get away from it, they fucking stole and poisoned the bush!
