To even bring up the neo Nazi terrorist attack in Charlottesville today, and the fact that the President made the weakest denunciation of terrorism ever, )except perhaps for his non response to the attacks in Quebec and Minnesota)

Anarchists in the US
"if we possess any sort of freedom today in this society, it is the result of all the times people defied and overthrew governments, not because of the times they were obedient. If not for disobedience, we would still be living under the rule of kings."

Unpopular opinion thread
I saw this posted on another forum and it ended up being a great thread.

Post an unpopular opinion you have, and only comment if you (dis)agree under others - no arguing.

But of course, the no arguing thing was too hard in the other thread, and people argued.

So I figured we could try it in this thread and spark some interesting things here.

People can only comment agree/disagree, and disagreements on those topics can be discussed elsewhere.

My Unpopular Opinions

- Diplomacy isn't actually that great of a game.

- Chaos diplomacy is 10x better than normal diplomacy in terms of negotiation, strategy, and tactics

- Italy is the greatest country to play

- The official story given by the government on 911 seems to not be fully true.

- Vaccinations should be optional

- Fight Club wasn't a good movie.

- Batman vs. Superman was actually pretty decent.

Italy is an awesome starting country, because France is naturally incentivized not to attack you, and Austria is in no effective position to fight back. you have great influence over the board with tyrolia, and can in a worst case scenario stay alive for a draw as a vital part of a stalemate line, or when moving for the solo easily brea a stalemate line.

Here are some of my genuine opinions:

- There should be no religious schools. All schools should be secular.

- There should be no private schools. State schools should be the only schools.

- There should be no private hospitals. State operated, state funded hospitals should be the only hospitals.

- In industries where the state does not operate, free trade should prevail, with no tariffs, subsidies or other forms of protectionism.
