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?

    Too many people conflate the evils of corporatism and corruption with the general concept of “capitalism”/a market economy.

    Now, I’m hardly an advocate of laissez-faire economics. But I’m not a full-on socialist either. I think the majority of problems people attribute to modern market economies can be corrected with aggressive anti-trust and pro-consumer regulation.

    (The keyword here is majority. I’m sure it makes sense to socialize some things, but those details are best left to people smarter than me.)
