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 are judged more on their behavior than their gender identity or race.

Consciousness isn't real. You aren't actually having experiences even though your brain is telling you that you are.

So many i cant name them all.

Among others that nuclear fission is not the way to stop climate change, China should be nuked, i absolutely hate communists and nazis...

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 years ago

Just the CCP and I'll agree with you. Chinese people are just like anyone else, they just have a really shitty dictatorship going on. Definitely not communist, although they like to say they are.

People need to pay extra for their bodily excess weight. I'm done being harassed to pay for a kg more in my baggage.

The worst maker mistake humanity has ever made was not killing every nazi after ww2.

I've gotten some nasty responses to that one lol

But I'm fucking right

Meritocracy in the US is almost entirely a myth, outside of a few sports.

Free will as it's popularly understood doesn't actually exist.

Most shoes are bad for us and cause injuries over the course of our lives .

The free will myth is especially damaging, as it steers people away from pragmatic solutions and towards blame and punitive policies.

Free will is wholly incompatible with our modern understanding of physics but nobody will listen because they simply don’t like it.

[–] BigNote@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Fully agree. Unfortunately we are a very small minority.

Swearing shouldn't ever be censored.

We should build an A.I. overlord so that it replaces our current leadership like politicians and the entire market bussines specially the top, so that it can exploit resources in a reneuable way that is already possible right now but you know... lobying and fucking oil companies, and redistribute them to the population in a just way incluiding but not limited to food (nice food not rations), housing, medical services, psichological support (but the real one not the human resources bullshit), entertainment and internet access, and eventually be able to make custom orders like custom furniture, video game capable aparatus, modifing your house, travel and even swimmimg pools and ice cream. Besides i think our survival hinges on us making something about our leadership since there is at least one major problem that we need fixed that our current leadership is not gonna solve i.e. golbal warming, since they rather sell their souls and their people to the oil companies, and replacing them (even with a coup) is just gonna put more corruptible people that are gonna get bought out by some other straigth up cartoonishly evil entity, or they themselves turning into it or being overtrown by it, and destroying the entity would require a massive effort and thats not happening without mass destruction and even if it is destroyed another one will rise up from the chaos caused by the anti corporate war. So the sollution would be a singularity level A.I.

I LOVE banana flavored stuff. When I say this, people will often say "even banana flavored Laffy Taffy?". Yes, that's the best flavor and it's not even close.

[–] MooseTheDog@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Both can be true. This probably makes more sense in your head.
