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?

Got removed on reddit for this, but I think the mentally ill homeless should be placed in state institutions where they can get professional help.

And Reagan should be dug up and shot for tearing down the mental health infrastructure in the US.

I think it’s a challenging take because you combine multiple issues.

We need to solve the housing and cost of living crisis.

We need to solve why we let mentally I’ll become so desperate they become homeless.

And then yes- nothing wrong with well run mental asylums. They existed and in Europe still exist for a reason. People need help. Reagan thought kicking them to the street would be more fun.
