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.
My understanding is that the idea is to post opinions you actually hold that count as contrarian.

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.
