What true thing do you believe that few people agree with you on?
- monsecchris 4y agoI love these sorts of things because it really exposes how little understanding people have of opposing views.

- willcipriano 4y agoI like all the blue checks running little micro cults of personality who want exposure but can't say anything even mildly controversial lest they harm the brand. "Hard work works", stunning and brave my guy. Here's mine: We don't really have men's and women's spaces, sports and etc. We have a restroom for everyone and one specifically for women and girls, because women and girls are more vulnerable in general and need our protection.
- Wyoming23 4y agoYour example is kind of unintentionally hilarious, because "hard work works" is in fact an incredibly controversial stance, and one that has caused people to lose jobs, "get cancelled" or be called racist, unsympathetic, privileged and out of touch, tone deaf, etc. Even here on HN, where the users are far more entrepreneurial, aspirational and self-improvement focused than the population average, people are still cautious to ascribe only a small portion of their success to hard work and to make the obligatory statements about luck, privilege, community and circumstances as the major factors.
- fallingfrog 4y agoI feel like some of these people are confusing "few people agree with" with "few people are deeply embedded enough in the same weird subculture as me to be aware of".
