I'm specifically talking about the CIA's long history of regime changes and coup attempts.

That shits just hurtful man, I offer a bespoke fear experience, terrorists are just amateurs with bombs.

Lol nobody appreciates a good coup these days. Ungrateful Iranians, Guatemalans...etc etc etc!

That isn't an unpopular opinion

It's a weird accepted fact that everyone despises, dismisses, denies and disregards but otherwise believe is true

It's so widely accepted by anyone who has read a bit of recent history over the past 50 years that all evidence points to the fact that they were complicit in assassinating their own president in 1963.

People on Lemmy like to argue and I'm taking a strong stance on something here. With those two things in mind, I'm expecting some level of push-back. (Which, admittedly, has yet to materialize.)

You're getting push-back on it being described as an unpopular opinion!

[–] galloog1@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago

It's unpopular outside of this platform. It's unpopular for a reason. Conspiracies do well here as well.

Christ, how many CIAs are out there, just CIAing it up

[–] GutsBerserk@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Even CIA officials (retired ones at least) admit that.

Here's an equally controversial opinion: pedos are le bad

Political interference and regime change isn't exactly designed to strike fear into anyone in particular, it was all about power projection and creating perceived buffers against the spread of communism. Not sure how any of that falls under the definition of terrorism
