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've had a conversation with someone on Reddit about this some years back.

They basically explained that people are being told that healthcare/social security is socialism and they're being told that socialism is just communism under a different name and therefore is bad.

Ah, so we can't have anything socialist because it's such a slippery slope to being full on commies.

As ridiculous as that sounds, that is basically the explanation they gave me.
