Humanity can’t be fixed, will always be selfish, greedy, discriminating against other people who differ enough, since a bunch of these things are pretty much hard coded. You might not be, some people you know might not be - but statistically, the majority of humanity will happily watch others get oppressed (or worse) for various reasons. There will always be people who manipulate others for power/wealth, disregarding law, morals or the environment, and there will always be a fuckton of gullible/dumb/mean people who happily buy the propaganda for reasons above.

Therefore, no matter what kind of society you try to form, with enough time we will get back to where we are now, and humanity will never be able to break out of this downward spiral, due to its inherent fault.

…which leads to my main controversial opinion, based on the above: the only cure to the mass extinction and the worsening climate happening today is the eradication of the human species. Yes, it would be such a shame saying goodbye to all the great things we have achieved, dad jokes, poetry, the Backstreet Boys; all this means nothing if everything dies on a scorching/freezing planet. At least if we take out humanity, other forms of life could survive, and life as we know it isn’t really found on every other planet.

Obviously there will be nothing wiping the human race off of the face of the Earth, and if it somehow ever disappears, it will be by its own doing - but chances are that will also take all other forms of life with it.

Looking at all the awful things humans have been doing to each other, all the pollution, all the ignorance, all the destruction, I wouldn’t hesitate a bit if there was a red button in front of me that could magically make them disappear (including me, of course). In the blink of an eye. I would slam down on it as fast as I can.

Bloodmouths and cheese breathers should be factory farmed

Watching porn on Pornhub or any other large mainstream porn site (all owned by essentially a monopoly) is being complicit in child abuse and rape. They made money knowingly hosting CSAM and should not be allowed to be in business. Even the stuff that involves people who are of age is often trafficked Eastern European women.

Deleted. Somebody else already posted this one.

COVID-19 was a lab leak.

Now let me be clear I think Fauci is a god damned saint and national hero for putting up with the shit he did. We don’t deserve someone like him.

The Maginot Line wasn’t a waste. It did exactly what it was designed to do: Make the Germans go around to the west. The failure was political, in that the 2nd part of this defense was that France and Belgium would coordinate to set up a proper line in Belgium, but this never happened when Germany invaded.

And Chamberlain had no choice but to accept Hitlers claims on Sudetenland (part of then Czechoslovakia). Any other treaty would’ve required an enforcement mechanism, and Britain was in no shape or form ready for even a limited war at that time.

William Shakespeare was a pseudonym adopted by Sir Francis Bacon whom was also Queen Elizabeth 1st’s son.

I don’t think children and teenagers should be (physically) allowed to transition to another gender. They should at the very least be 18, though I believe we should have people wait until brain matured, and a better understanding on consequences is built in.

I am talking about taking drugs, hormones, surgery.

Kids/teenagers/early adults have little to no understanding of definitive actions.

I am all for trans rights, I think transitioning leads to less suicides and happiness. And overall, my stance is if it makes you happy and doesn’t harm anyone, go for it.

The same applies to gambling, driving, or anything implies long term effects.

I would also love to see strong support systems put in place to accompany youth as a whole. The world is complex and its increasingly difficult to take it in, and navigate the absolute hurricane that is it.

I am, of course, open to be further educated on the matter. Openness and education is key to progress

I don’t think Bin Laden was killed. The fast disposal of his “body” was suspect and his family was too wealthy.

Also, people over 75 should not vote or hold public office.

No one should feel obligated to be an organ donor. And telling someone they must because they “aren’t using their body anymore” is fucked up. If a person has to be coerced, guilted or bullied into giving the “gift of life” they aren’t doing so freely. If they have to be manipulated into it then it’s not a gift. It’s theft. Nevermind the fact that corporations make big bank off the organ and tissue trade by piecemealing out donors and sellings the parts, but no one talks about THAT because lives are being saved.

(I’m not against organ donation. I just don’t like that we use manipulation tactics to procure body parts and that there isn’t transparency about who is profiting).

That religion is for gullible people.

There is no moral way to raise a cat.

Either they live inside and live an entire life in a few thousand square feet at best for 16-20 years, or you let them outside to hunt and they kill tons of wildlife and are exposed to becoming roadkill/coyote food etc.

My personal dodge is to adopt old cats that have already been indoctrinated into inside life and who could never be let out anyway.

Heterosexuality is not natural.

UK Rock bands and singers are galaxy away from US Rock bands and singers.

I have a bunch. I think the biggest one is that some people are naturally dumber than other people and can’t be fixed by education. I don’t think this broadly applies to any specific ethnic group or anything, but I do think that there is likely a genetic component to intelligence. I also don’t think that we should prevent these people from breeding or treat them as inferior, but I also think that sending these people to college is a waste of time and expecting them to do well on college either waters down the college education experience or puts unfair expectations on them. I worry a lot about how these people will fare in an increasingly automated world and the answer is not good at all.
