Whenever I read or hear “opinionated” I always get reminded of the saying: “opinions are like aasholes; everybody has one and all of them stink”.

In many cases some opinions are clearly superior over others.

Compare "war crimes are bad for multiple reasons" and "lets torture, murder and loot and that is fine because they are subhumans".

Universal bothsideism is not a good idea.

Normally my opinions are clearly superior. Other people's opinions are shit.

I expect the same to be true for everyone.

Unfortunately, many people are able to not only justify war crimes, they also see it as a good thing when it’s their side that’s engaging in said war crimes.

Oh definitely. It is not easy to solve problem.

But "all opinions are equal" does not work.

That's been my experience since I first saw the word applied to programming languages, and I mentally replied 'ok, but your opinion is objectively wrong!'

I prefer "and no one wants to hear yours".
