What's some really unpopular opinion you have?
What's some really unpopular opinion you have?
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?

In order to actually fight climate change, we should start by trying to reduce the population in the future. Less people = more resources per person.
Or to make it even unpopular.... A massive genocide would help the planet immensely
How do you choose who gets genocided?
Obviously we kill all the people that think genocide would be a good thing. I can't imagine a better future with all these maniacs among us!
Random, Thanos docet
Of the rich? I'm in.
Unfortunately, there's not enough of them even 8f they do disproportionately more harm.
My version of this is to just sterilize 99% of the population at random, and keep sterilizing people in the future such that the world population is capped at 100 million.
Studies show that with improving living standards birth rates drop. There's the suggestion that we wont exceed 11 billion people (https://issuu.com/habsboys/docs/habs_geo_mag21-6th_issu/s/13472380)
Good news: its happening in developed countries already. South Korea's birth rate in 2020 was 0.84 kids per woman. In order to keep population stable you need 2 births per woman. I think there is an imminent collapse in demographics that will be coming within the next 20-30 years.
Developing nations still have higher population growth but eventually itll all even out.
While I agree with the sentiment, I don't see a way to do it.
It's just very unrealistic... Look at China's one child policy and all the other countries where decades of contraceptive push has only minor success.
Thankfully you don't seem like the type who could actually inspire or convince anyone to get behind your ridiculous ideas.
