I was mostly thinking of the one about open borders. Hardly anyone thinks that open borders would destroy civilization, but that's an exaggerated version of "open borders are a bad idea". If I disagree that they would destroy civilization, but I agree that they are a bad idea, should I treat it as a contrarian opinion or a non-contrarian opinion?
Furthermore, it sounds like that would not qualify as "opinions you actually hold" unless the poster thought it would destroy civilization.
Really? I consider it obvious for a sufficiently strong definition of "open boarders".
Also it wouldn't completely destroy civilization because the open boarders aspect would collapse before all of civilization did.
