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?

Can you expand? So what should be done in your world view?

I don't know really. That's part of the problem. I sort of feel like we of the 99% should burn it to the ground and start over but the problem with that is humans are kind of a blight. We consume everything we can and always seem to be looking for the most convenience and the path of least resistance. Taking a look at all of our societal problems and fixing them as a whole really is what needs to happen because everything is interconnected. But the scope is overwhelming. It may still be an unpopular opinion but I think doing away with organized religion in every place it doesn't belong would be a start. But only if we're willing to make logical decisions about how to move forward and govern our society secularly. There are a lot of smaller countries that are doing quite well with fixing their societal issues. But even they still have troubles.
