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?
USA is an oligarchy. I can imagine americans disagree. But perhaps not lemmies.
Americans disagree
Most of us wouldn’t, and the rest of us will probably get on board if you rephrase oligarchy as “under the control of out of touch rich elites” because a lot of us are reflexively against anything that sounds educated.
Yeah. Considering the 90% pro-commie sentiment on here you’re probably right.
Almost the entire world is, that’s not controversial, that’s fact
The average person shouldn’t be allowed to drive. It’s extremely dangerous and most people are desensitized to it and absolutely don’t take the natural responsibility towards others that comes with having the ability to kill someone with a finger twitch (or a slight lapse in attention) seriously enough. I don’t think it would be allowed if it was just invented this year.
Everyone should be vegan. It’s great for your health, for the environment, and more importantly, it would save more than a trillion (yes, with a T) lives every year.
In a hundred years we’ll look back and be ashamed of what we did to animals.
Not all migrants are good for the country. Many come with views incompatble with western culture. Stuff like homophobia, transohobia, mysogyny. And they are often brought over as cheap labor, undercutting local labor.
The right to keep and bear arms is an inalienable right. We should be able to carry on all public lands, and other places open to the public.
Tattoos look bad like 90% of the time.
The government is not to be trusted.
the world is overpopulated and everyone who wants to have children should require a license to do so (and it should cost a lot - like, a mid-tier job’s annual salary).
Lemmy.world holding such a prevalent place in the Lemmy/Kbin part of the Fediverse makes it a major single point of failure.
They should still be the newcomers instance, but communities and users should migrate to other instances to increase the resilience of the Fediverse.
Genocide is an option.
Americans really think they own the world sometimes, and truly underestimate the disdain the world has for them.
@rikudou @asklemmy Jews deserved absolutely everything that happened to them, and deserve everything that will happen to them in the future
for legal reasons, @theorytoe hacked my account and posted this
Most human males should be castrated.
Men commit almost all rape and murder, but no one seems to think this is a problem we need to do anything about. If any other group committed 90% of serious crimes – let’s say immigrants – people would be calling for them to be rounded up and exiled. But when it’s men, that’s just the way things are, nothing to be done about it.
But we know exactly what to do about it when we’re talking about other species. We castrate male cattle because bulls are dangerous and steer aren’t. Violent criminals typically have elevated testosterone levels. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that putting men on testosterone-blockers is going to make them less dangerous.
What will be the other effects?
- Men will be be weaker—Meh, physical strength is less useful now than it was in the past.
- They’ll have less hair on their bodies and more on their heads—Awesome.
- They’ll won’t be able to get hard—That’s what viagra is for.
- They’ll lose fertility—They can go off blockers while they’re trying to have a child. Or you could just have a small number of uncastrated sperm donors.
I’m an anarchist, so I don’t want to force this on anyone. But if I believed in prisons or police, I would also believe in mandatory castration.
Old Skuamorphism (correct me if I spelled it wrong) on iPhones were so nice
We were the bad guys in WWII and dropping atomic bombs on Japan was the most evil act of war ever done.
Nuking Japan was in proportion and in service to the United States’ legitimate military objectives.
Dogs suck ass. All of them can go to hell. No one actually likes their dog or takes care of them as they should. I can not understand how anyone could want to handle man sizes poos on the regular, or listen to a single bark it’s so annoying.
The kWh is a silly unit. Joule (J) is the one true unit of energy.
Also, common time units suck as much as inches, pounds, feet and whatever nonsense units you Americans still use. Just use seconds with the appropriate SI prefix instead.
Cubic meters and tonnes suck too. Just use kl and Mg instead.
