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/

No one's asking anyone to pretend he was a good person, or that he never existed. We don't have to do any of that in not celebrating his death.
Younger generations can learn to avoid the mistakes of the past through being educated by those who lived through it and by being exposed to human kindness and compassion instead of retributive hatred.
So if people celebrated the death of Hitler, you'd say the exact same thing right?
There are times when it's ok to celebrate the death of evil. The witch is dead was a UK #1 when Thatcher died. For good reason
No that makes the kids feel bad to learn the shitty mistakes we made in the past. Can’t teach that. /s
Hate and anger are human emotions. Ironic how you claim it’s inhumane to use those emotions.
