I did not know opinions had a “value”. I mean aren’t they simply “opinions”.
Remember, it’s the online right-wing hitman (rwh) who brought up the idea that opinions have “value” depending on who you are. The vid WV posted shoots that idea to pieces. RWH claims “the left” (or his imaginary version of it) discounts opinions if you’re not oppressed, which…is something no one on the left has ever said.
But leaving intersectionality out of it, yes opinions can have value. That’s why we have the phrase “I value your opinion.” Some things can only BE opinions, and can’t be determined by facts, science, or law.
So let’s say you wanted to eat out in Portland Maine, and you posted and said zn, where should I eat in Portland Maine. What I say in response to that can only be an opinion, but it’s a decently informed one. Imagine then adding, but remember zn your opinion of that does not matter any more than someone who has never been there.
Opinions can matter, it depends.
And sometimes they don’t count for much. Someone’s OPINION of climate change has far less standing than actual factual knowledge of what it is and what the science has said about it.
Anyway. Everything I say here is factual and is backed by science, law, the bible, and some very accomplished psychics.
