What's some really unpopular opinion you have? (self.asklemmy)

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'm in the same boat and my answer is very egocentric: I like the way life works around here: High standards for most things that are related to engineering and its applications, relative freedom to do what I like, same for everybody else, no matter the gender, a certain amount of caring for each other while ignoring each other's quirks, at least in my rural corner of the country.

I don't think all of this is going to survive a large influx of people from countries that work differently and I don't like that idea.

We will need that influx though, to keep our age pyramid somewhat intact and we will get that influx because people are drawn to the higher standard of living and pushed by effects of climate change in their old homes. The only thing that could prevent that would be to have more humans raised along our existing line of values.
