    So you’re in favor of BRICS and the devaluation of the petrodollar, if those countries choose to do that?

      I recognize their right and potential desire to do it, but I think the likely economic responses and ensuing global downturn isn’t worth the eventual possible payoff for them

      As an example of an actual unpopular opinion I have, I think it’s good that countries sell Nestle their water rights and then buy water back from them, if it results in a large enough economic impact for their nation.

        Why do you think that opinion is unpopular?

          It is unpopular in my circles, which includes a lot of “fuck nestle” kind of people

        Maybe they did the maths and think it’s worth it. The “PetroYuan” sounds weird

          I am quite confident that the dollar will remain the world currency, likely until we move to a single world currency in the far future.

            You don’t think Nestle or other corporations ever do wrong? Maybe your friends think they do

              Everyone does wrong at some point, including all businesses. Corporations aren’t monoliths

                So it’s okay if Nestle exploits an entire community as long as it serves the greater good?

                  Yes?

                    If Nestle bought the property to your town’s water supply, and sold it back to you for a profit, that would still be for the greater good?
