The unpopular opinions thread.

Oosh, where do I begin fam?

Let's start with a simple one.

I believe that pop culture is making a big mistake by demonising the traditional family unit/relationship as a means of making alternative lifestyles feel more included.

I don't even mean LGBT honestly. I'm thinking more normalisaion of divorce, polygamy (open relationships), promotion of hookup culture, holding off on settling down, etc. I think modern life has done a lot of damage to the social organisation (the family unit) that has been the cornerstone of growth for each major civilisation in history. The desire to "work hard and improve my lot for my children" is disappearing for more abstract "I need to make humanity better" or more materialistic "I want more money" motivations. We're already seeing it with the damage the Baby Boomers at the top have done for the futures of Millennials. Even on a personal level, the growing trend for baby boomers is to spend wealth for themselves in retirement instead of passing it onto their children.

It'll get worse if things continue as they are.
