Something that’s not super controversial, but you still really stand by it.

    People who destroy public toilets with piss or shit should be forced to sit down for a year. Public bathrooms would be cleaner for it.

    I’m okay with piracy. I think a lot of people feel the need to justify it with phrases like “it’s not stealing it’s just copying,” among others. To me that seems like being in denial about the moral ambiguity of what you’re doing. There’s so much free media out there you don’t need to pirate the stuff that isn’t.

    Personally I’m okay with being told I’m a thief and am scamming the creators who worked hard on a product. Idc I’m broke, bored, interested in your thing and can steam it in HD from a website instantly. No login, no ads, no worries. I’m a pirate through and through and part of being a pirate is being morally bankrupt lol.

      btw if you ever have a Christian hounding you about it tell them “Jesus pirated fish and bread, and you support him” and watch them think through how to still disagree with you (they will never change their opinion) but support jesus no matter what

    People who are the most uptight about manners and language are the rudest and most vile shit talkers.

      A great realization that I had was that many of my language pet peeves were really preferences and not hard and fast rules. Language constantly evolves, regardless of how any one person feels. Clinging to my pet peeves was really just a form of elitism.

        Grammar is descriptive, not prescriptive. <- The fancy way to say what you said. :-)

    “Brutal honesty” motherfuckers just want to be mean. Also they can’t handle honesty from others at all.

      Almost nothing worse than a thin skinned bully. If you can’t take it, don’t dish it.

    Humans have intrinsic value and nobody should be treated cruelly without cause. Aside from in relatively marginal places, that worldview has largely won.

    I’d extend it to “people are basically the same everywhere”, but there’s actual disagreement about that.
