True spicy unpopular opinions. There’s just something about them that always gets people riled up and they always feel that they’ve got to attack it because they’re emotionally charged.
And no I’m not talking about unpopular opinions made for edgy purposes like “DEM *****S SHOULD BE BACK IN PLANTATION!” shit. I’m talking more thought out, articulative kinds and opinions that just come out of someone’s belief against the major tide of the hivemind.
I’ve spoken of opinions on Reddit, on here, on Facebook and a couple of other platforms. Everytime it’s the same thing, people are attacking it and unable to engage in a discussion. They always assume I’m just here to listen to myself talk and just looking for people to only agree with me.
I don’t give a fuck whether or not you agree with me. Opinions aren’t facts or anything. But I don’t have the patience for emotionally-charged people that’s going to come on in and just throw down for no reason.
So I think nobody is ready to handle these kinds of thoughts.
The opinion that no matter the healthcare system, drawing the line on what gets and what doesn’t get covered is necessary. “Money per year of quality-adjusted life” is a good enough metric to have these discussions among the general public. How much more taxes/insurance fees are you willing to pay, or how much are you willing to cut from other important things such as education, for better healthcare when every addition is met with diminishing returns, is a discussion that should be had. “Just cut from <my pet peeve>” is a cowardly way to avoid the discussion.
