socrates@slrpnk.netto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•No one and no group is above factual, respectful criticismEnglish10·6 days agoI should hope that this is not an unpopular opinion. But I’m not sure that it isn’t, either.
A detailed view on any topic, to see the gap in between extremes and the capacity to remember that two things can be true at the same time, is of the essence if we are to have meaningful discussion. And it is forgotten all too often in popular media, social or news.

It will be useful to encourage more structured and public discussion to allow wider change to occur.
All things considered our species is doing relatively well. Having the ability to assign purpose and use tools does cause us to get stuck in a stupid rut all too often, though.
I can’t fathom why a person would willingly use corpospeak. I can’t imagine anyone actually likes to speak that way.

socrates@slrpnk.netto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•Last week's assassination of Minnesota's Democrat former House Speaker was the logical sequel to that of the United Healthcare CEOEnglish1·9 days agoThere seems to be some kind of difference in the meaning of “political”.
I offer the definition from the Oxford Dictionary:
adjective
relating to the government or public affairs of a country.
The idea that everyone deserves healthcare is itself political, it pertains to how a country should be run. It is also not a universal view; many people disagree that people do in fact deserve healthcare.
Luigi Mangione’s act was indeed very political. It is an eruption of the view that all people in the USA deserve healthcare and that the private system is depriving people of this right.

Very tempting. I just might do the same.
