What's some really unpopular opinion you have? (lemmings.world)

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 should give death row inmates a choice: capital punishment, or be used in place of animals for product testing.

Haha, most of my opinions are unpopular. Some posted in this in thread I agree with.

Matthew McFadyen is a better Mr. Darcy than Colin Firth.

I agree. My wife doesn’t and she’ll make me rewatch the mini series if she hears of this.

Humanity is doomed in the short term by its own hand, and that is the absolute best fucking thing that can happen for the planet and the other life on it medium to long term.

We appear to be a self-solving blight upon the natural world. As the late, great George Carlin put it, the planet is ramping up to "shake us off like a bad case of fleas. A surface nuisance."

As a species, we've proven beyond all doubt that we are too malicious to be stewards of this world, and too self-important to ever peacefully, recede in numbers in order to find equilibrium with this world as inhabitants, rather than have dominion over it.

Our macro-cancer ass of a species has got to go.

The Beatles are just bad. I'm not the most musically savvy person or anything, but I don't see anything special or impressive about anything of theirs at all.

I'm communist and I don't see the AI as a villain/bad thing. And, to me, be afraid about it is the same as people in 1970s being afraid of computers.
