Strongly disagree. Science is based on fact and whether models fits observations.

Politics and core values is more like fashion and there is no right or wrong.

More often than not, comments such as this come across as justification for being a jerk, while other people are trying to make the world a better and more inclusive place for others. The world can’t effectively operate well without a shared sense of right and wrong.
