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?

To be loved and hated at the same time, you just have to choose a side in politics, so, fuck Trump. I don't have a problem with the Republicans/conservatives. I think conserving one's nation and culture is important, but not attacking anyone and everything with discrimination. And I won't even get started on tariffs. The ones that will pay for it will be the everyday person, not the multi-billionares and milionars.

Jesus won't come for his followers until after the great tribulation. So all these people believing in the rapture and post apocalyptic world are wrong. That's why evangelical Christians don't believe in global climate change because it won't affect them if Jesus scoops them up before they face consequences.

Nobody should own dogs. They were bred as slave animals in a time before we understood that they were just as sentient as any other being, with pain receptors and emotions just as real as our own. And we have bred them to be miserable when we are not there giving them attention. Their apparent affection is an illusion, a food-gathering instinct honed by countless generations of selective and cruel in-breeding directed by humans who want to pretend that these animals actually love them, when they're really just pretending because they are rewarded for it.

Also, if you own a dog and let it bark for any length of time, ever, or let it wander unrestrained where it might bite or harass a stranger, or let it take shits and don't immediately clean that up, you deserve to be put in a cage.

Remember to sort by controversial. Top comments are always going to be the popular opinions.

Americans really think they own the world sometimes, and truly underestimate the disdain the world has for them.

That is the opposite of unpopular.

Private Schools are a must and I rather have great private schools over good public schools
