      It reads like a question simultaneously sent through google translate and a thesaurus. I’ve tried several times, but I just cannot work out what I’m being asked.

      wtf does this even mean

      OP is asking two things:

      • the most controversial shit that you say
      • the shit that you say and think “mmh, maybe I’m wrong but I’ll keep saying it”

      …or at least that’s how I interpreted it.

    My most controversial discourse* can be roughly phrased as “screw intentions”, “your intentions don’t matter”, “go pave Hell with your «intenshuns»”. It isn’t a single utterance*; I say stuff like this all the time, and regardless of the utterance used to convey said discourse, people will still disagree with it.

    The one that I’m sometimes at fault is “people who assume are pieces of shit and deserve to be treated as such”. Because sometimes it is reasonable to assume (to take something as true even if you don’t know it for sure); just nowhere as much as people do.

    *I’m being specific with terminology because it’s a big deal for me. “Discourse” is what you say, regardless of the specific words; “utterance” is a specific chain of language usage (be it voiced, gestured, written, etc.)

    One time I accidentally said a kid’s name on a 2-way radio, and we were not supposed to use their names over the airwaves.

    I’m not sure if I had critics thought, it was just a mistake
