I agree, you make excellent points.
It’s gone from:
Everyone has worth, and is entitled to an opinion.
to
Everyone’s opinion has worth.
Everyone’s opinion has worth.
You nailed it.
My crazy liberal ex-girlfriend was of this mindset.
And I would ask her, “So, Hitlers opinion on Jews was valid?”
She would reply, “No, that is different”
And ask her, “Margaret Sanger’s beliefs about inferior people?”
She would reply, “You’re an Asshole”
These people are literally insane.
