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."

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.

Anti-vaxxers should be able to not vaccinate, but they need to bear full responsibility for their stupidity, including but not limited to banning from public schools and all other publicly funded accommodations.

It is ironic that anti-vaxxers are often Christian fundamentalists who often rail against immigrants bringing disease to the United States.

I don't think human beings should keep pets unless needed for practical purposes.
- Diplomacy isn't actually that great of a game.
Agree

- Chaos diplomacy is 10x better than normal diplomacy in terms of negotiation, strategy, and tactics.
Abstain, haven’t played.

- Italy is the greatest country to play.
Disagree, I like different countries for different reasons.

- The official story given by the government on 911 seems to not be fully true.
Disagree unless we’re nitpicking about minor details

- Vaccinations should be optional.
Agree unless they’re for diseases that can easily outbreak

- Fight Club wasn't a good movie.
Abstain, haven’t seen

- Batman vs. Superman was actually pretty decent.
Disagree, was pretty bad

-Despite appearances, POTUS is among the least ‘powerful’ heads of nations in the world.
Disagree

-George Washington was NOT the first President of the United States.
Looked it up, it seems like nitpicking but technically agree, but it makes no difference to anyone.

-While a Tolkein fanatic, it doesn’t matter that the LotR movies diverged from the original story.
Not a Tolkien head, but in general agree

-It is a disappointment that GoT has gone beyond Martin’s published (and written) work.
Slightly agree, but still like the new GoT

-Voting for anything other than Democrat or Republican in US elections is wasting your vote.
Disagree, just because they don’t get elected doesn’t mean the vote it wasted, though I’ve never voted 3rd party.

-The present year should be pronounced “Twenty-seventeen.”
Agree

-The Oxford comma is an unnecessary dinosaur of English grammar.
Slightly disagree, I think it looks better and functions more correctly in some contexts, but generally doesn’t matter.

-guns should all be banned.
Disagree, Not unless we can erase all guns from the world forever, and then only a maybe.

-shameless is not entertaining to watch.
Agree, fell off after a couple episodes.

- There should be no religious schools. All schools should be secular.
Disagree, but religious schools shouldn’t be funded by the government.

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

- There should be no private hospitals. State operated, state funded hospitals should be the only hospitals.
Agree in general, but niche private hospitals like they have in the UK can exist.

- In industries where the state does not operate, free trade should prevail, with no tariffs, subsidies or other forms of protectionism.
Agree, with exception to industries that are for the good of the public but also benefit from competition, but need subsidies to become established. E.g. alternative energy sources (solar, wind, etc.), better food making tech (e.g. growing meat in labs), new obviously better tech in general.

-That chakras exist.
Disagree, but admittedly know little of what it is.

-The state should NOT be involved in education.
Strongly disagree

-That facts are opinions and unpopular facts like me being too fat is an unpopular opinion.
Disagree, objective facts exist (like opposite charges attract, like charges repel)

- Purple Rain is a bad song.
Agree

- Social contracts (as in social contract theory) aren't perpetual and don't extend beyond the generation of their foundation or anyone who didn't consent to them.
Agree, but those who don’t consent must live with the consequences of not adhering to them (jail or deportation in some cases).

- Religion has been a net positive to the planet.
Agree, overall all human history.

- Ancient civilizations were often more advanced than commonly thought.
Agree

- America shouldn't have entered world war 1.
Agree

- Vdiplomacy is better than Webdiplomacy.
Probably, but I actually haven’t played on Vdip

-Evolution is nothing but an unconfirmed hypothesis.
Strongly Disagree

-The Liberal Media are ruining this country (America).
Agree, but because of polarization, not exclusively liberal

-The USG has changed drastically (for the worse) since 1781.
Disagree, besides money taking over politics, it has generally changed for the better

-Any Government regulation on anything economic is bad.
Strongly Disagree, workers rights, subsides in some niche cases, antitrust laws and limited socialized industries (healthcare, fire fighting, police force, etc.) are a few of the good things.

-I don't think human beings should keep pets unless needed for practical purposes. Disagree, unless love and companionship is a practical purpose.

Extra opinions
-Prostitution should be legal, provided it is regulated to ensure safety of all those involved (see Eastern Australia’s laws)

-Religion is a net negative on the planet in a modern context

-When Doves Cry is a good song

-Batman is the only good DC super hero

-In a democracy, all information should be available to the public, besides short-term secrets pertaining to military and espionage operations

-Every problem in American society stems from money dominating politics, inadequate healthcare (especially mental health), and/or our poor education system.

-The death penalty should be illegal

Drastic population control measures are needed to reduce world population and avoid climate catastrophe. China's One Child Policy is, as such, a policy that other nations with rapidly increasing populations (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Ethiopia in particular) should look to replicate.
