why shouldnt we? How else would the world get shaped? There are mutually exclusive opinions, how the world is shaped generally comes to be based on who wins that battle

Things not being opinions doesn't do anything to stop major influencers from presenting them as opinions. Or from presenting opinions as not opinions. Or from presenting lies as facts.

opinions should be respected but they are not equally valid

anyone who thinks all opinions are equally valid is just straight up wrong
