Unpopular Opinion
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.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

This is what I fear the most. Climate change will only become salient over time where obsession with it will manifests as extreme violence to secure resources. But it's not like these murderous people are going to care about climate change per se; rather, they'll think they need to secure what they need to continue their survival. But those resources, particularly water, will become less and less available because of climate change.
Better that climate "activists" block traffic, slash tires, and have no chill mode now than deeply flawed humans murdering, raping, and pillaging later for the same reason.
The start of water wars is just around the corner. It's going to happen. Just look at the Nile and the dam situation right now.
The only way to save the environment is to get every country to enforce environmental regulations, even at their own economic disadvantage. And that's not something people volunteer to do. So it need some powerful global entity that could enforce environmental rules..... And that's a hard sell as well.
On the bright side world war II actually resulted in a global cooling for 5 years. So maybe world war III will be as beneficial, if we survive it.
