      It’s not enough to be unpopular. It also has to be rationalized. An explanation articulated.

      Without that, it’s just edgelord bullshit, and edgelord bullshit should always be downvoted.

        I don’t owe you an explanation, keep downvoting and calling everything you disagree with “edgelord bullshit”.

          I think that your message is pretty clear if they’re not somebody trolling on the internet asking everybody to reason things out for them. It must be so withering for them to wander through life hearing things and not being able to reason any of it out. I agree with your unpopular but factual opinion, based on our voting and actions as a herd we likely do deserve another great depression whether we think it’s good or bad. A reversion to the mean is not “edgelord bullshit”, simply a basic understanding of fucking economics. It may be an unpopular opinion, but there are plenty of people who do have some knowledge and experience in the world who are equally concerned that we don’t change our policies, because that would be the only thing that stops us from actually getting a reversion to the mean and a depression cycle
