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?

    People should have more children in the West. Especially Europe is demographically killing itself by decades of low birth rates.

    Most of our historical narratives were invented by a few Western elites (nobility, priests, scholars) about 400-450 years ago.

    (Basically Fomenko’s New chronology.)

    Agile is extremely overdue for a re-term. And most teams need to reconcile that working in time boxed cycles can still meet up with timelines. What FAANG is doing does not make sense for majority of companies.

    This doesn’t answer the question… but it’s my 1,001st comment on Lemmy, what the hell.

    This thread exemplifies why I love Lemmy so much. It’s because we have so many original, free thinkers. We don’t always get along, but you can be sure you’ll find plenty of brand new ideas when you scroll through these threads.

    Both parties - Democrat and Republican - here in the US - are part of the ‘problem’ and need to go. We desperately need a third or multi party system and an end to this bullshit of geriatrics ruling our government and making decisions.

    I would make comments about the first line all the time on Reddit and immediately get downvoted to hell because people would start arguing or making comparisons to the old ‘two sides of the same coin’ bit. That’s fine if that’s how you want to see it.

    I get it, we all have certain things we fight for that the other party shits on, women’s rights (abortion), equal rights, labor, gun control, taxes, etc.

    But both parties still serve their corporate masters and still do their damndest to turn people here in the US against each other using ever scare tactic imaginable and thru the media sources (Fox, CNN).

    They just keep playing the Game to turn people against each other and create more decisiveness and more power for them.

    It is really hard to have an unpopular opinion unless you are mentally deranged/a conspiracy theorist.

    As evidenced by the comments under this very post. Even when trying most people can’t come up with an actually unpopular opinion.

    Just one?

    Social media is detrimental to individuals and society.

    People in the net often agree, put people irl look at me like I’m the village idiot spouting conspiracy theories.

    In order to actually fight climate change, we should start by trying to reduce the population in the future. Less people = more resources per person.

    There is no moral consumption under capitalism. A lot of people think they agree with that. But simultaneously also seem to realize that they aren’t going to change the status quo. So they don’t try. It’s actually that there’s no morale consumption under capitalism but I have to do what I have to do to survive so here we are.
