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?

    I won’t say anything without my lawyer sir.

    No seriously these kind of posts annoys me as most people will mostly say secretly popular opinion. A true unpopular opinion could get you potential trouble with 1/ online users 2/ the law

      here’s a real unpopular opinion for you, democracy has failed and we should stop holding on to its corpse just because it was better than monarchy. We don’t need representatives any more. we should vote directly on each issue we care about. should stay informed on issues we vote on. should abstain from issues we dont understand. and when that fails too we should evaluate if we as a population even deserve a say in leadership other than beheading and starting over with a new algorithm to select any humans that are absolutely essential for the process. y’all cant make me feel bad, i’ve seen what you’ve done to the world.

      The law isn’t trawling through lemmy (yet). They’d also often have a very hard time identifying a user as a particular person, particularly if the instance you’re registered to is in a different country.
