Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    I don’t believe in prison for punitive justice. Prions should be used to keep society safe from dangerous people, not punishing them imo.

    I could probably do a better job running your country than the guy you elected since I know when to give the problem to someone more qualified.

    Generally, social justice is at best, a distraction from real issues, albeit with very good intentions.

    (We talk about human dignity, representation in film etc but not say, the fact most of our stuff is made by children who occasionally burn to death making it. If I were one of the billionaires running things, I would be overjoyed that people were so distracted about what a comedian said versus how our entire economic model is structured.)

    Got removed on reddit for this, but I think the mentally ill homeless should be placed in state institutions where they can get professional help.

    the military is a cult that tricks children into dying for the wealth of the owner class. they tell you you’re defending “freedom” but you’re defending the gravest enemies of freedom that currently exist.

    Meritocracy in the US is almost entirely a myth, outside of a few sports.

    Free will as it’s popularly understood doesn’t actually exist.

    Most shoes are bad for us and cause injuries over the course of our lives .

    A lot of things around the world were better before the Internet. And they were definitely better before smart phones reached ubiquity.

    We have blown the concept of ownership way out of proportion. No one should be able to own things they have absolutely no connection to, like investment firms owning companies they don’t work for, houses they don’t live in or land they’ve never been to.
