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?

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...

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.

I keep telling myself to stop getting into pointless internet nuclear debates so I know I'll regret this... but why? I'm ridiculously pro-nuclear and think it's a goddamn embarrassment that we have the power to dramatically reduce carbon emissions in ~10-15 years time* with proven technologies but we won't do it out of, frankly, overblown fears of nuclear accidents when the statistics clearly show that orders of magnitude more people die from pollution related to coal than nuclear has or ever could kill.

*10-15 years being if we really put our minds to it and broke through the red tape. Nuclear projects continually go over budget and over time due to lack of economies of scale, a hollowing out of the nuclear industry in the US, and continually changing regulations requiring extensive redesigns.

I initially read that as naked and was very confused.
