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?

Fuck ALL advertisements. Yes, even “unobtrusive” ones, especially yours. If I want your shit, I will find you. If I appreciate your shit, I’ll pay you for your time. If you want to connect, I’m all ears. Otherwise, fuck off capitalists, fuck off advertisers, and fuck off useful idiots who want to waste my finite lifespan in this miserable universe showing me ads.
Unfortunately there’s a lot of products that most people don’t even know exist. Hell I keep finding new tools and wondering why I’ve been doing things the hard way for so long.
OTOH, fuck all the advertisers who use shady tactics to make sales, and especially fuck all the people who pray on the naivety of others to steal their money. I was just showing a customer an email I got the other day stating her domain hosting was past due and required immediate payment, and she asked how I knew it was a scam. Uh, hello, because —I— am hosting your domain and website (and this is exactly why I share this kind of stuff with people, to make them think before they blindly write a check).
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.
USA is an oligarchy. I can imagine americans disagree. But perhaps not lemmies.
People who are strongly against nuclear power are ignorant of the actual safety statistics and are harming our ability to sustainably transition off fossil fuels and into renewables.
Pansexual, polysexual, and omnisexual are all microlabels and are all subsets of bisexual. You don’t need more labels than gay, straight, and bi.
Edit: I forgot about asexuals. But I specifically only care about bi subsets. They’re dumb, and you only need bi
Upvoted, but I have a slight disagreement. I think bisexual should actually be a label under pansexual. Bisexual doesn’t necessarily account for anyone outside the gender binary.
they are all made up
Remember to sort by controversial. Top comments are always going to be the popular opinions.
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.
Corporations should only be allowed to exist as long as they’re doing more good for society than the damage they do. Businesses should either be a net positive or run by people who are individually and jointly liable.
Ok, wich company does more harm than good? Only i can think of are a certain banana company and a certain company from Switzerland…
How exactly would you define such a law? “Doing good” is extremely subjective.
how about weapons manufacturers?
as long as they are doing more good for society than the damage they do
Isn’t that what profit is?
Tax is not theft
It’s not theft, IF the government puts that money to good use e.g. health care, education, maintain roads, utilities, …
I think it is, but it can balance out the theft imposed by the ultra wealthy its all about the nuance of the wording ngl
the govt takes ur money - this is theft monopolies and duopolies take ur money for basic goods and services - this is theft
I assume this opinion is pretty popular among the left
The stuffing is the worst part of an Oreo.
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.)
The average Lemmy user knows fuck all about, security, privacy, operating systems, act like they are unique, and are inclusive despite wanting more people to understand more about the way they see things.
Libertarianism and anarchism aren’t cool and don’t work.
You are a part of the problem if you hate Nintendo but think you are helping the developer by pirating their games.
You are an even bigger problem to bringing more people to your way of thinking if you are constantly negative about those people buying something they like just because you wouldn’t.
Thinking you are alternative because everything you think is mainstream makes you mainstream.
Your choice of FOSS and OS doesn’t make that product good by design. Just because you can’t operate and OS doesn’t make that OS bad.
It feels like as soon as Biden got into office a lot of people on the left threw their BLM signs in the garbage and stopped caring. Now I’m starting to see more and more on the left detach themselves from people of color and go right back to the white worship they were doing before. Every single time a person of color is now a lead in anything there’s just nothing but endless controversy and both conservatives and liberals just complain
But put a white person in a lead? Nothing but sunshine and “we’re starting to heal” nonsense
Really sick of it now, and it’s completely soured me on wanting to vote again
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).
I’m ok with paying taxes for universal healthcare and infrastructure. Welfare for anyone who isn’t mentally/phisically disabled (on various levels) can go to hell. No unemployment benefits, no state-funded child support.
Universal healthcare would go a long way to improve all of the latter, however to play cause and effect; If you remove unemployment and child-support, you’ve inevitably now increased the homeless population and driven others to crime. How you do now deal with that?
