    Rage bait is the generous interpretation. The “no one could be this stupid and awful” interpretation.

    So what then? I guess you’re stupid and awful then.

    Authoritarianism is the more efficient governing model.

    It is far more beneficial and productive to society to dump more money and research into countering the negative health outcomes of eating terribly unhealthy food than it is to try and undo entire socioeconomic models and human habits that are geared to consuming the unhealthy things.

    Some people are so stupid they should be chemically castrated. Depending on them to raise a future functioning human being will fail and ultimately will be a drain on the over all system.

    Some people have done such horrible things beyond a shadow of a doubt that even death is too much of a mercy. They should be kept alive and tortured mentally and physically every day until they die of natural disease processes.

    Honestly, when I encounter people like that, I just block them and forget that they ever existed.

    I usually attempt to either confirm that they are trolling or evil or misinformed, but once I have done, you know, 20% of the amount of effort to get to the bottom of things and I still don’t really feel convinced one way or the other, I just block them.

    Oh well, we won’t have any further conversations. Oh darn, oh no.

      Yep I’ve had a lot of those. Also people who just want to argue for the sake of arguing. You can tell they don’t really have an interest in the position they’re holding at all. It’s kind of different from ragebaiting? Frustration baiting I guess? They just never listen to reason or deliberately misinterpret what you say to energy vampire the will the argue out of you.

    My genuinely unpopular opinion that I will not be changing: If you are fat, it is your fault. I fully understand (at least to the extant modern research has gone on the matter) the genetic differences in hunger receptors, fat accumulation, serotonin deficiencies from vagus nerve disorders, etc.

    All of the above are easily treatable, half of them with OTC medication. If you eat more than the calories necessary to run your body, you will gain weight. There are no phantom calories, you are snacking the whole fucking day.

      I like the way you’ve gussied up “objectively wrong as proven by science” into “my unpopular opinion.”

      When your opinion contradicts known fact, it’s no longer an opinion. It’s a fantasy.

      You can’t even change your “opinion” when provided with excellent reasons to, yet you judge people for not overcoming their biological imperatives.

      A few more facts before I go: I’m not overweight, and you are a douche.

      Nah… Fat kids, you blame the parents. It’s not the kids’ fault. When the parents have limited financial resources and US healthcare coverage, it’s not really their fault either.

      beyond genetic differences, I understand there’s also a growing body of evidence that a person’s gut microbiome plays a pretty big role in how the body processes food. I heard of a case where someone got a fecal matter transplant, their diet and level of activity didn’t change, and yet they started gaining significant more weight.

      My genuinely unpopular opinion that I won’t be changing: if you’re fat that’s 100% okay!!! Absolutely no moral condemnation is warranted and anybody being a dick about it is just a mean-spirited cockhead grasping at the shallowest possible ‘justifications’ to feel superior to someone!!!

      Where the fuck do Lemmy users get off on thinking they’re as progressive as it gets but the moment women, Muslims or fat people are mentioned they turn into the most concavebrained chuds imaginable who can’t stand it when people who are different to them exist happily as equal members of society??? Pathetic.

      Can’t really say I agree with you.

      For one, most people that become obese are overfed as children when they don’t know any better, so blaming them for the obesity that was thrust upon them by heartless and inconsiderate parents, is just like a step too far.

      For two, the nutritional content of food has decreased dramatically in the last 40 years, so many people could be induced to overeat due to lack of essential nutrients.

      and for three, there is an entire industry of people with PhDs who are paid good money to craft food that never satiates.

      People that become obese in the western world are getting hit with a threefer. Adding blame to them on top of that? It’s just too much.

        Oh no, poor ignorant supposedly functional adults, totally unable to change anything about their behaviors or learn something new! Awww poor wittle babies actual adults.

        Stop infantilizing people. Shit like this is half the reason there are immature adults that do not know how to take accountability for anything.

          Not every obese person is the person you are picturing in your head.

          I’m not saying don’t be hateful, I’m saying understand who you’re hating first. Be a little selective.

            Yes, some people do have glandular problems or underlying health issues.

            No, that is not the vast majority of obese people.

            Again, stop infantilizing grown-ass adults.

      I mean it kinda is your fault as is you can change it with enough willpower, but just like with smoking tobacco, constantly being exposed to advertisement and temptation is definitely not your fault and governments need to do something about it.

        I’ve heard from recovered meth addicts they’re glad they weren’t alcoholics since you don’t see near constant ads for meth everywhere.

    No one is actually going to post a controversial opinion in this thread, because lemmy is just as bad as reddit at cultivating groupthink, if not worse.

    Also, while unfettered capitalism certainly deserves some criticism, anyone here criticising it is mostly just creating an untouchable boogeyman to blame for their problems so they don’t have to admit that they could actually be happy and successful if they tried. Anyone who was seriously trying to create a post-capitalist world would be organizing their neighbors in real life, and would rightly see lemmy as a waste of valueable time.

      Is it really reddit and lemmy to blame, or is that just how groups of people… do? What else are we communicating for? Ideas meat other ideas, they interfere destructively and constructively, and new consensus is built. Repeat.
