Had a debate about this in my university sociology class. There’s a difference between having an opinion and being willfully ignorant of fact, yet a lot of people try to argue their own ignorance as an opinion. The conclusion of that discussion was essentially that “respecting other’s opinions” actually does more damage than good because in all honesty most people have stupid fucking opinions

Another interesting fact is that most people's expressed opinions aren't even their own. They are just that person's own amalgamation of the loudest opinions they've heard that make them feel like they will be safe and belong if they espouse them. Very few people feel confident enough to be honest about their opinions, even to themselves sometimes.
