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?

I wish Lemmy apps didn't collapse comments when tapping them - it makes text selection impossible (or rather, it forces you through the 'view source' menu which is ludicrously roundabout for the purpose).

The U,S. Mail delivery system is owned by the Oligarch Cartel that also owns Congress and numerous govt. institutions. It's nothing but an "ADS TO YOUR DOOR/mailbox" junk-mail delivery service. SHUT IT DOWN!!! It's actual f*ing SPAM in physical form.

I swear, every square inch and cm of the United States is for sale. Disgusting. Disappointing.

We need oil gas and plastics. Oil and gas in the short/ medium term (meaning 10-20 years) but plastics potentially for the foreseeable

we have alternative energy sources and so oil and gas should be (needs to be) the priority to wean off of but the scaling up of these needs to be properly managed

Plastics I do not see an alternative to as an end product, however it is possible to use "bio sources" to make plastic precursors so there's a route through there but the scaling is nowhere right now

Single use plastics are a viable target but durable plastics I think are with us for the long term
