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?

You're thinking in terms of political ideology a radical progressive is someone taking out all the stops to fix things. It's a bell curve not a checkbox saying what alignment you are

[–] masquenox@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

"Progressive" is merely another word for reformist... ie, people who will (at best) achieve absolutely nothing except the continuation of "business as usual."

What meagre labor protections (for instance) the working class in the west has wasn't won because of reformists... it was won in spite of them by militant and thoroughly radical labor organising.
