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
You are not a serious person. Dictator != bad leader. So long as Trump was democratically elected he is not a dictator. I’m not sure if you’re American but if you are, please take more responsibility for your countries electoral choices.
You’re right it’s not a game, it’s a fight for survival. Encrypted services are being attacked in the EU, Australia, Canada, India, China, and the US. The CEO is trying to do what he can to keep his company afloat before some stupid anti-encryption prevents him from accessing his biggest consumer base. Is a bribe playing dirty? Sure. But the other team is also playing dirty
Lmfao. Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, the three most (in)famous dictators in history, were all "democratically" elected. So was Putin, Ghadaffi, Orban, and Hussein, and those are just off the top of my head.
Read a fucking book dude.

Yeah and what happened to elections once they came to power?
oh you jumped off of our conversation but kept going at the exact same topic here? cool
Adolph Hitler was also democratically elected, and yet we all agree that he was a dictator.
No he wasn't. Hitler lost his election, got appointed, then usurped power.
Trump has created his own gestapo.
