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?

We were the bad guys in WWII and dropping atomic bombs on Japan was the most evil act of war ever done.

Who were the good guys then?

Common, I want to see you type it out.

[โ€“] Jimbo@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago

Neither. No party was good

Ahh now we are actually getting into the unpopular opinions.

More the factually wrong ones but yeah.

What?

Firebombings where much worse and search for Unit 731, and the Holocaust and the Holodomor.

All things considered Muricaland where the only that can get away with being the "good guys"

France helped the Nazis after they got overrun and Britain was just there for the most part, basically a side character.

So all in all not just unpopular, but factually wrong.

I'm not sure who you mean by 'we' but I guess it was not you. Greetings from Germany.

What an edgelord, poor poor repressed crypto nazi is being indignantly castigated for their 'beliefs'. Welcome to the 21st century where the only thing fascists have anymore is their impotent rage.
