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?

If you're getting upvotes in this thread you're a lemming that believes what everyone else does and you only allow yourself to consider socially acceptable ideas. Your beliefs are based on social proof, not introspection or critical thinking.

Another one: about 50% of the population are destined to be poor wagies and there's nothing you can do to help them.

I don't think most people disagree with this. I think my country's law draws the line at 3 months for general abortions without health reasons. Other countries do have it similar. Only the weird authoritarian countries are banning it. And I don't know of any country that loosens the rules.
